What is the difference between the "planned" date and the "expected" date?

Planned is the original date in the scheule and expected is the new updated date

I am hearing that a 991 Targa 4S could take up to 9 months to build if ordered today. Does that sound right?

Seems possible, depending on allocations. For context on timing, I lucked into a confirmed allocation (Targa GTS) at V200 on 2/13, did ED on 6/8, and should have it at my US dealer this week. It really depends on whether you have an allocation at v200, or just an order in demand. It pays to shop around (The third dealer I spoke with is the one that actually managed to trade for an allocation).

Interesting how no deliveries have been completed since March of this year ... is there a reason that everyone has stopped contributing their build and delivery results here?

Lots of deliveries, but all being reported in this thread

Yes, but this thread was meant to be a place to simply view the overall start to finish milestones results for each ... a way for others to get an quick idea of the trends without wading through all of the exciting story-lines and chatter of the other thread ... I'll be adding my final stats here within a week (hopefully).

I'll do the same - hoping for delivery right after Xmas, but we'll see if she makes the boat

OK, here is my version of a summary now

Model: 2019 991.2 C2S
05/04/2018 - Date Ordered (V070)
06/28/2018 - Date Order Accepted (V200)

10/12/2018 - Scheduled Build Date10/12/2018 - Actual Build Date (V260)
10/19/2018 - Completion (V300)
10/26/2018 - Arrived Emden11/03/2018 - Depart Emden
12/05/2018 - Arrived US Port (Benicia)
12/13/2019 - Delivery to Customer

Notes: Ordered placed before 2019 allocations were set with dealer as no more 2018 allocations were to be had and once the initial 2019 allocations were determined in June, earliest C2S allocation available to my dealer (Porsche Beaverton in Oregon) was in Oct. Also note that the factory has a traditional Summer month-long shutdown which was a factor in not being able to get an earlier build schedule.
