i asked for the latest available allocation as I am not in a hurry. But the wait is painful any ways.
i put the order in 9/10, 10 days later I got v200 and dates.
My build locks in 11/30, goes into production 12/14
i expect P to push dates left and expect delivery is January. Not ideal but I am committed now.
and excited for the new baby..

Thx for the info. I was in the same situation and in no rush. Wanted closer to March delivery but now I’m excited for dec arrival.
Dealers have allocations and each allocation has estimated dates, factory calendar is pre-build and as far as P is concerned all cars are sold and to be build. Dealers look for customers for custom orders, if they cannot find a customer in time for a given allocation then they have to order thet car anyway. Which they do with minimum options or most desirable options and put it on the showroom floor. They can also trade allocations with other dealers.

Rennolazine, do you use 7th, and all lights off?

I saw another recent post with folks being amazed by the good mpg for the 991.2. Obviously, 7th gear is key. (I have to remind myself to get out of 5th on the hwy.) But the advice was to use ‘normal’ PASM setting (as opposed to Sport or Sport+ or Individual) and to make sure all lights were out on the console.

Tire choice is determined by what Porsche has in stock when your car is built. They have a number of tire suppliers but 911s are being fitted with either Michelins of Pirellis. You have NO choice in the matter. 
Porsche will use whatever's at hand.

As a few of you I sought out and secured a allocation the is a bit far off. (Locks mid Oct. expected Delivery Jan) I am planning on pre trading my 981 Cayman. Tried to upload picture but I haven’t figure out how that works. Any way can anyone explain/shed some light on the pre trade process
