With CARB-certification BS, I'd be surprised if anyone actually receives a car before mid-November. And realistically, CARB could hold up this car for 4-6 weeks. Many cars may actually get to end users in 2022.

 

that could mean a lot of tax $ lost with Pre-trades.

 

Car was ordered on 4/2.

Was originally a mid-July build with mid-September delivery (17th).

Porsche TRD is now showing a Production Start date of 9/17. Production Completed date of 10/1 with a Delivery date of 11/19. Guess I won't be driving it this year, except to get it home into my heated garage before it starts snowing.

**EDIT- Shark Blue 6-speed manual

 

For those of you that have had your production start date pushed back, were you past your freeze date? My freeze date was 6/15 and my start production date is 6/25 with a delivery date of 9/17. Wondering if once you pass the "change freeze point", is the car locked in to be built per the schedule?

 

OK, while it's not on TYD yet, this is now popping up on the configurator for both the GT3 and GT3 touring:

Due to global supply issues affecting the auto industry, GT3 models equipped with the 6-speed GT Sport Manual Transmission will not be available for delivery until early 2022. Please check with your local dealer for more information.

Are we (manual orders) about to get bumped to 2022?

 

I've had the exact opposite experience. TYD dates are all over the place. Ordered on 4/3 with a late September build date and delivery in November. As of today, that was suddenly changed to a 7/2 build date and 9/17 delivery (with it sitting at DE/US ports for several weeks before it hits the 9/17 US on-sale date).

 

Is your build for PDK?

 

It is now. It was a 6MT, but I had to change it to PDK today since I'm a CA resident and no 6MT is available here for failed certification or across the US until 2022 for supply chain disruptions. Surprisingly and a bit panic inducing, the TYD status suddenly changed today from a 8/31 freeze date to a retroactive 6/10 freeze date. My dealer was able to still change the build and I'm crossing my fingers that Germany doesn't kick it back tomorrow morning. If that happens, I'll lose my mind.

 

Anyone else seeing 2022 for MT?

 

Porsche hasn’t said no MT for 2021.

 

They haven’t said it, but is it possible they will try to modify the MT to allow CA cars in MT and want to avoid running new car certs twice?
I hope it’s not the case, but just letting my thought run with it.

 

There are MT build scheduled for production in July-Oct that I know of. I believe the new notice is for people that have later build dates to encourage people to select PDK.

 

I really hope so, mine is still holding the 11/05 delivery. 34 days to freeze, MT. It was originally Sep delivery, moved to Oct and now showing Nov. let’s hope it holds and we get our cars this year.

 

Yeah, I have two allocations. My CA MT had been moved to scheduled for production until today. My non-CA build is schedule for production in Oct - up from Dec.

 

Both PDK?
