A bit. But paying that much money for colors standard on other cars is harsh. Started by screwing customers for white 2007 GT3RS..
Delays no fun, I had to cancel my PTS just to be able to do ED. It was one or the other, easy choice. But then I wouldn’t get any new car Without ED.

Easier to schedule ED and you can change your mind and redo.
Funny is I tried to change my pts to a standard color after it went from April to June to September delivery and they can't cause color is locked already.. So wait it is.

Well, if you have ever dealt with SAP or any of the other manufacturing system software packages in a large global company, you will understand why there is nobody who can answer with certainty where an order will land with a small change. The software is juggling so many variables that you don't know until the button is pushed for the change. As much as these companies like Oracle and SAP like to brag about how flexible it makes your operations, the truth is you become a slave to it. This is why Exclusive takes parts out of the car after production- it's much easier to have the car go through the line with standard parts rather than try to schedule in the exclusive options.
after b school i worked for SAP briefly. i quit after 3 weeks.
just make it one color and life would be eaiser

Vinyl is not equal to paint. I have a pretty cool one right now, but if I could have ordered it this color (which you can now!) I would have:

The difference here is that the Rubik’s Cubes are easy to solve repeatedly while there is seemingly zero logic in PTS/CXX land.

Sadly mine is still September planned and expected. Hoping it gets made earlier so can enjoy it this summer. Michigan winters come on pretty early sometimes...

Guess our twin cars aren’t getting made at the same time. My production got pushed to July.

Enjoy your Green. I’ll be envious!

Great color! Just noticed you're from MI and have a Rivi Spyder. I've definitely seen your Spyder on Woodward. Would love to check out your new 3 sometime upon delivery.
