Just saw this thread
Well, a first week of July build, late August ETA on a '15 TTS coupe. This year dealer has been getting TT/TTS earlier than estimated. The most recent was a month early, but I figure that I have at least four months to wait. The configuration was the most frustrating part, but I finally got it right and no compromise. Might be away when it gets to the dealer in August and in any event it gets flatbedded to the Expel installer, who will also apply Opticoat, which should make wheel cleaning very easy and keep the rest of the paint looking like a proper Porsche should.
Yes, a long wait, but not longer than I have not endured in the past. The prospect is fun to contemplate. Kind of like when I was a kid. That's it. Its why our significant others indulge our weird little obsession. Because we are a bit like children about these cars. Got to admit that it is beyond my imagination when I was a kid.

My TTS Coupe has a June build date. I spent a lot of time agonizing over the configuration. Many thanks to those rennlisters who helped answer a bunch of my PMs. It really helped

I'm glad to see this thread revived. The waiting is making me a little crazy. I was supposed to have a completion date of April 11. Got pushed back for some reason and I was starting to get concerned. This morning my car popped up on the dealer site, which means it was completed in the last day or so and a VIN was assigned. Just knowing it actually exists is nice even if it is still across the ocean. Now I can start the next phase of waiting... the shipping schedule search and boat tracking! Good luck to all those waiting. I hope your cars get built early.

I had an issue last week because 2 months ago I configured my TT and placed an order for June build September delivery 2015 model. On Wednesday of last week dealer called saying Porsche middle east cancelled all 2015 allocations so in effect my order got cancelled.
Was furious. Luckily the dealer has a cancelled order that arrived which is 95% similar to my custom order. So I have to live without PDCC, stitched seats, power steering plus, adaptive cruise control and reverse camera. The car also has a different wheel (car came with cf with gear change buttons....I ordered alcantara sport design with paddles) and seatbelts (came black...I ordered racing yellow) to my configuration that the dealer agreed change for me. The car also has painted PCM (yellow) which looks horrible IMO so they are changing that whole thing for me to the standard black. Also insisted on painting the red brakes yellow to match the racing yellow color and window tinting and protective film on bonnet as part of the deal. They accepted so I'm going down tomorrow morning with my chequebook.
So looking forward to taking delivery of my new 2014 TT in the next week or 2 hopefully.

Did Porsche give you an explanation why the allocations were cancelled? Glad the dealer is trying to somewhat make good on the configuration you ordered.

I was told that Porsche were holding off on new turbo production until the GT3 production is restarted so no custom orders as long as the showroom has cars the dealer would need to sell those cars.

So not only are the GT3 folks unhappy about the handling of the fire issue now they are going to upset the turbo folks too...on the surface doesn't sound like a good plan

That's exactly what I was afraid they would do. With the April 24th GT3 production starting they have to bump something. I got in just under the wire on that one. Hopefully they don't push back customer ordered cars but who knows. I was hoping things were getting pushed up as they were gearing up to resume GT3 production and that's why people were getting turbos early. That didn't happen to me though so I doubt that's the case. I traded my car over the winter which makes the waiting all the more difficult.

I believe it is not that easy to cancell confirmed allocation, but interesting explanation indeed.
In curiosity, how much does tts cost there?
My waiting case, I'm not that excited anymore, tts is starting to be shipped from germany now, but tomorrow is the "sudden" day where import taxes rise by 50% that would translate to pretty much another us100k.
