@PTS remind me again, what your original production month was?

 

Originally July

 

I remember your post on that, but mine doesn’t appear to be missing any parts:

 

PTS Oslo blue 8/28 start

 

Those who have PTS cars must have submitted their request immediately after that order window opened. I thought I was early enough waiting 3 days. Lesson learned going forward.

 

My car was allocated I think October if I remember. I had until March to lock in PTS.

 

I think we had an advantage in Canada on the ST as we received our allocations weeks before the US. I had my color ready and the dealer submitted for PTS the day the allocation came in. Typically US receives allocations first on newly released models.

 

Yes, PTS 27th August Production.

 

I don't think that's how it works. I received my allocation late (my store is a new dealer, but an established dealer network), so my build was submitted several weeks after many US S/T cars. I think it's pure lottery

 

Well since most of us, if not all are paint locked.

Share your PTS colours!

 

Given my dealer has an elevated status (premier, I believe) and none of its 4 ST's were approved for PTS, I think you're right. If I was the premier dealer, I'd question Porsche on how that makes any sense..

 

Amethyst Metallic with silver wheels and trim.

 

mine was submitted day1, even then got denied. I just picked up a later slot out of 3 that got offered to me. Lesson learned..pick earlier slots…

For the 911ST, it all had to do with your slotted production month. In the beginning of the allocation, PCNA informed all the dealers to submit their PTS request as early as possible, so that they could try to accommodate all requests. This was all going fine until Porsche ran into supplier issues (eg. carbon pieces) and this really messed up their PTS allocations. Since some of the parts comes directly from the suppliers pre-painted, you could see why this presents a problem when certain suppliers are having quality issues.

So all of a sudden, PTS allocations starting from June onwards started to be restricted and dwindled. And since most of the PTS builds were pushed to the later production months and Porsche prioritized regular colors in the earlier months of the building schedule (eg. February to May), this is what created the shortage of PTS cars on the ST overall.
