LOL, hell no! Matter of fact mine's now at V331 of the tracking schedule.. just built and sitting in Emden waiting for a boat ride!
IMO those who sit on the sideline waiting for the latest and greatest.. play a mugs game.

I had a bit of a buyer's remorse for a minute - I ordered my TTS for full price, because I wanted it last moment with Euro Delivery, so had not much standing to bargain (and they are actually hard to get in BC due to many international buyers), and I put some options on it because I wanted them. And then just days after that, a friend shows me a pristine 650S Spider for practically the same money. And then news of GT2 and this new generation.
But then I thought - I need a 4 seat daily driver now. None of these things are that. I can get used 991.1 for not much cheaper than a new 991.2 (strange market in Canada), so I'd much rather get a new 991.2 the way I wanted it and top it off with a European delivery.
An interesting takeaway from the speculation article posted is that this gen Turbo S may be the last non-hybrid Turbo S in 911 family. Makes it a tiny bit more special :-).

I'm still getting mine on June 29th in Leipzig. Can't wait.

Allocations are scarce on the east side of Canada also. It took my dealer a couple weeks to secure one for me last October.
I considered ED, but that late in the year it pretty much pooched the short Canuck Cabriolet season. I'm still considering an ED-Lite (Porsche and MB factory tours and rent a Porsche for a bit of a European road tour).

Wouldn't hurt my feelings if the 991.2 turbo was the last non-hybrid.
I like the the idea of full electric but for some reason hybrid super car doesn't sound as exciting to me. Perhaps if I drive one my mind would change.

I am sure my car will be on the same boat as yours.
