Default Turbo S Build delays...

Original delivery date June 6. A few weeks ago extended to June 25. Last few days extended to July 9.

I know there are all kinds of supply-chain challenges, but I officially don't have faith in their projections. I will believe in the delivery date when I see the car hit the dealership. First world problems...

Sorry to hear. I have an 8/6 delivery date, but mine is still in pre-production. Best of luck.

My "production date" has been changed twice. The first time it was changed was 10 days into "production." I think they are finding the use of the "Track My Dream" site to be challenging at best, lol.

Are you changing options on the car? My SA advised and I confirmed it with the TYD app that every time I made a change, it would push the delivery date. Patience is a virtue lol. 20 more days for me but at least mine is sitting at the Jacksonville port waiting to go to Atlanta PEC

No. Zero changes since it first locked.

I know the feeling all too well. Ask your SA at your dealership to send you a screenshot of the projections vs actual date of when the car will enter each phase of production. My car was ordered on February 2nd with an original ETA at the dealership of 7/15. Turns out that was the worst case scenario projection which seems to be what the factory always goes with at first. My ETA at dealership was finally revealed to be 6/11 once production on the vehicle was started. Hopefully you can get your chart sent to you so you can compare dates. Hope this helps. My car is sitting at Emden now just waiting to hop aboard a ship and mosey it’s way on over the pond to be delivered to Illinois. One piece of advice as you wait for the car, pick up a new hobby to pass the time because it can be a PITA having to wait so long for a car to be built and finally shipped to you haha. Good luck and enjoy your car when you get it. I have attached the chart my SA sent to me to this message just so you know what it looks like.

FWIW, every other Porsche I've ordered has had spec changes right up to the freeze date and all the cars arrived earlier than scheduled.

So weird. My original date was 6/28, then it went to 6/18 and then to 5/28. It looks about right based on the ship being on route to San Diego.

My original date was 6/4. It is now 7/9...and counting. Oh well.

I sent my SA an email wondering if I had specific options in my build that are causing the delays. I don't expect him to reply until I get him on the phone. Even then I don't expect he will be able to procure any answers. Good news is that the car is already appreciating, provided it will materialize, hehe.

Out of the blue today, the TMD site shows my completed vehicle is on its way to port, and it shaved two weeks off the estimated delivery date. Of course I put no stock in this, but I'm sharing anyway. Below are the pictures provided of my new car in production. Enjoy!

Default UPDATE: TYD Not = Dealer Stats

My TTS is in Emden scheduled to be a vessel on 4/30 - there have not been any changes in TYD until earlier today when it showed on vessel (RCC Classic) on 5/7 arriving Port of Baltimore 5/21.
TYD still shows at the dealer on 5/21!!!

Today, the SA and SMgr sent me a screenshot of dates (thanks mscott1987 for the screenshot and idea to get same info):

Exit Emden 5/14 arriving Port of Baltimore 5/28, at dealer on 6/04/21. So even a TYD update earlier today is not consistent with the dealer's data.

BTW, vehicle completion per the dealer printout was 4/14. I sure would like to see an in-production photo, but I know the delay can be 2 to 3 weeks after completion of production. Any clues on how to find pics if they are available?

My last two 911s were a 991.1 Turbo S and a 991.2 GT3 - both of which I loved. I am really excited to drive the 992 TTS, which appears to provide a very practical blend of high-performance and practicality. Congrats to all of you who currently own or are awaiting delivery (or an allocation). This forum has been very helpful in selecting colors, options, etc.
