I placed an order on February 10th for a 2017 GT Silver Carrera 4S - http://www.porsche-code.com/PHMCSSX5. I should go status V250 this Friday. Current estimated vehicle completion is 4/22, exit Port Emden is 5/13 and arrival at the Port of San Diego on 6/10. I should have it in my garage sometime between the 17th and the 24th of June. I look forward to tracking it every step of the way.

I too live in an urban area (Atlanta GA).
Ended up getting a wheel and tire package today too. Figuring with my experience it would save me some aggravation down the road, and potentially some money. Also wasn't sure if the platinum satin finish will be hard to maintain - no idea, as I've not had a painted wheel before.

Agate Grey Metallic with Platinum Satin Carrera S wheels is a very attractive combination.

Our build dates are close, we should be getting them about same time, other than mine is through Houston.
Does anyone know if "Expected Dates" are normally met or "Planned Dates" have always be more realistic?

Thanks Y'all!

Don't know. I was too pissed at the time to ask my dealer because my initial V900 was for 5/6 and then I made a few minor changes on the build which pushed the dates out by 4 weeks.

Too scared to request any changes after that for fear of getting the car in December! Besides, my lock date was 4/1.

LCW - I'll confirm with them, I'm curious too!

Most folks on this forum reported cars being ahead or on schedule so far...

Looks nice, is that the standard White or Carrara White?

Try shopping around and asking dealers when there inventory is coming in or if they have new allocations for immediate builds. Hope this helps.
I think you have been misled regarding delivery dates. Unless your in Europe, it is doubtful you will get your car that soon. My Targa is being built in May and the delivery date is early August.

I was told something similar to jackippo. My freeze date is May 9th, build is supposed to be in June, delivery in late July. That's for a base Carrera coupe.

With you being no the East Coast that may be a possibility. It seems my car took almost a month to get from Jacksonville, FL to San Diego CA.

Could be. For once, maybe, we have an advantage over California.
