Yes, it happened to me as well, but everything seemed to catch back up tbh. They build some slack into the dates and yours might still end up back on track. 1) My car has a order date after the freeze date 2) they opened it back up after the freeze date 3) pushed production date out only to complete it early 4) it hit the port and was on a ship close to the same day. I think some of it comes down to luck on timing with the transport - but the dates seem to move around a ton without much really changing with respect to actual timing.

That's super helpful to know! Thanks so much for the context. I can definitely see the slack - earlier my Scheduled and Start dates for production were 1 week apart. Now they are 2 with this latest change. This is the third time my date moved and for someone who has the order in since May, this is really frustrating. Congrats on your new 911! Bet you can't wait for the PPF to get done.

Same here - and ultimately the car arrived early. Lost a couple weeks around and during production, and made up all and more with the ship transport and US port processing/ground transport.

Congrats again. Looks like Porsche North Houston? Mine should be there in the next couple weeks, hopefully!

My TYD has partially updated; when you click on "In transit" , Siem Confucius shows up, although thr actual status has not yet actually changed to "in vessel". My dealer is in Atlanta and last time I checked the schedule Siem Confucius didnt have Jacksonville listed as a stop.Assuming its leaving soon since its been in Port since the 22nd... I wonder if they had to wait to fill up the ships since no cars were produced for the entire summer break

For anybody still looking for a 992 allocation, apparently Braman Porsche has an allocation for a MY22 base coupe

Hi folks, I just placed an order demand with dealer, my building sheet was included areokit, my SA said it was approved by their GM and will give me an allocation from next batch. I just want to confirm if aerokit is able to order for 22 model? Besides, he did run a soft credit check to see if I am able to purchase a car, is it normal? Thanks everyone.

There are a few threads on the topic, but I don’t think the Aerokit will be available for anymore 2022 models. Once they stop ordered for 2021, it wasn’t available until the next model year. If you want aero is likely 2023 model before it’s available. I think the dealer is just taking the build and once they get an allocation it gets submitted - then they come back and say what was rejected. I pushed from a late 2021 allocation to early 2022 to get aero.
