Got the call, Touring allocation provided today!
Its been a year, April 2017 was when I first registered my intent, since I requested a Touring. And this before the Touring was even announced.
Well today I got the good news/bad news call from my SA. I've got an allocation but will only be able to take delivery in 4 to 6 months. I really don't mind, part of the excitement is in the process.
Anyway here is the chalk build with buckets and ceramics I've put together. http://www.porsche-code.com/PJVBS2Y1 (I had wanted PTS but we all know what happened with that!)
Plan to do Euro delivery too - an easy way to get my SO excited.

Congrats!
Consider yourself lucky, I gave my initial intent July 2016 with a delivery of August 2018. That's a good 2 years of waiting, but it's msrp so it's fine by me. My lock date is less than 1 month now...

Congratulations!
ED or not - if you have never taken the factory tour then you should really consider making the time. Also, take a walk around on your own and peek in all the building windows. I started snapping pics before I saw two Porsche Engineers inside giving me the laser stare. I believe this is the GT2RS test mule engine I saw.
That thread is seriously delinquent on photos and all we get are excuses and broken promises

It was only stopped for a brief period last Fall due to a registration issue with German government (unfortunately affected me ). It is back again now...

Build
Looks like a great build. My allocation was before touring was available or I likely would have selected that option. Otherwise our builds are almost identical except i went with the black wheels. I love my build and really wouldn't change anything. You may want to think on the black wheels as i think it turned out great. I also added the carbon fiber on the outside mirrors which i am very pleased with as well.

Zuffenhausen is indeed fully back online from my understanding for euro delivery, my ED date was 4/3. Don't know about the summer factory shut down etc... You do it in the Werks 1 original brick building which has the exclusive workshop and exclusive design center adjacent to the Mission E plant being built.
I will do the recap thread probably next week after I settle back into work/making sure the house is still in one piece/spend time with the dog and get my a$$ on a treadmill... hopefully it will be interesting and also provide some useful info for anyone else considering doing it (here's one ultimate tip: *TAKE THE FREE NAVIGATION OFFERED*, THE TOMTOM... saved my a$$ so many times)
Edit - forgot the most important thing, congrats on the allocation!!! Your spec looks gorgeous and your patience paid off. It's a lot easier to wait once you know you have car locked up. Then you'll just waste countless hours hunting for chalk touring images and re-building your spec on the configurator/buying clear side markers etc..
