Finally picked up at Rusnak. Car dropped off at SD port by Antares Leader.

Chalk S on the right is mine. Next to it is my buddy’s blue Turbo.

Loving it. Signing off this thread, good luck to everyone.

What's your freeze date?

The last time I was there, four or five years ago, it was 99 deg F, and as you may know smaller hotels and gasthaus don't have air conditioning, or screens on the windows. So we had to sleep with the bugs.

I think one reason our order may have gone through so quickly is that we made no changes from the original specification.

Why will porsche not just put a notice or bulletin out regarding the steering wheel? Seems to affect many cars, but maybe not all?

Hope this doesn't affect 2022 MY, appreciate giving others updates.

This pic showed up on TYD today. It's been about a month since it was finished. It is my car, slick roof w/rear window wiper.

TYD updated this afternoon to move me to stage 2 - Scheduled for Production. All future dates are currently unchanged, with start of production on 10/1, but 🤞 those efficient Germans get ahead of schedule. I also got an email reminder to get any spec changes in as my freeze date is approaching. It's nice to see a tiny hint of progress!

I see the BISHU HIGHWAY arrived in HOU a few days ago. Did you schedule delivery yet?

This is the first I’ve heard of the steering wheel issue. I looked around the forum including back in this thread and didn’t see anything else about it. My 2022 C2S coupe is on the Felicity Ace due in Houston next week. It’ll be extremely disappointing if it shows up without a power steering column; how would they even fix that without taking a whole bunch of stuff apart? I don’t know that I’d even want that done. Ugh. Now I’m worried. Fingers crossed.

I did just get my production pic yesterday. The car finished production on 7/21 and was on the boat on 7/30, so it’s moved quickly. But it was super cool for this pic to finally pop up!

Delivery Day after 9 months of deposit down. Pic is not that great but the feeling of finally getting behind the wheel was. 100 mile drive home was awesome; but for the traffic for the last 30 miles! Good luck to you all getting your cars. It is all worth it. 2021 Chalk Targa 4s. BTW , I did do the white on the Tach and I love it.

Chalk 2021 Targa 4s.

Forgot to mention i only got one key as well and a letter from Porsche saying they are sorry due to the chip shortage. Said they will send me the extra key and fob and said i could elect to not take delivery. That option was not happening!
