My guess would be it has something to do with the PTS.

In contrast, my build date has not moved (yet to the best of my knowledge) since I originally placed the PTS+CXX order...

So, if its not parts, then is PAG losing $$$$ on GT cars, I don't think so.

Porsche does not care when you get your car. They care about building things efficiently. I highly doubt the line has stopped.

We have seen this in reshuffling of PTS cars so they get painted together (or their parts get painted together).

If the people who are delayed post info about color and options we can probably figure out what is causing the delay. For example, if it is post build exclusive options because exclusive is backed up with work.

Might be right. My SA told me yesterday that he is not aware of delays in the couple of cars they have coming in. He did say that the special order/PTS cars could be delayed, since he has seen that happen before. Hope he's right. My V200 car is scheduled for build in October.

I have a SB MT No CXX options and mines been delayed by 1.5 months. The only curve ball I have in my build is a painted interior.

It’s not PTS that is causing the delays per se. No PTS available in the UK but delays are happening...it’s optional equipment that’s causing it probably.

i can assure you they do not batch PTS together to paint.

No. My dealer is not engaged as I would like but maybe I'm over the top. I found out the delay when I call PCNA,

Very well could be as the take rate on that option I bet is below 5%.
