I was similarly told Aerokit isn’t available for GTS

I did have several dealers tell me that the aerokit was not available -- but my "favorite" dealer said the secret is to call their representative at the factory before submitting a configuration on an allocation and "ask" them if they would accept the Aerokit on this build and explain to the "factory" what a great Porsche customer you have been (bought other cars fairly recently) and they approved my allocation for the Aerokit and I fully expected that when I saw the car it would be missing but to my surprise there it was in the photo. Perhaps it helped to spec the Gloss Black Aero kit at over $8,000 as it seems less popular due to the extra expense over the body color kit. Now they have removed that wing options from the 2024 configuration completely.

Would be interesting to know how many 23' t's the factory built with the gloss black wing option. If my car is the only one built maybe I can sell it for a zillion dollars or at least $5 more than I paid.

After being in the Jacksonville port for a week TYD just moved the next step to June 15. SA says something about a missing part, but no way to know beyond that. This was after it sat at emden for a month. Anyone else stuck at the port?

At what stage of the process, did you guys get the little gift box mailed to you by Porsche? Some point after you placed your order, after production was completed, etc.?

I was out of town when mine came, so I don’t know the exact arrival, but it was sometime around production complete and transport to Emden for me.

Thanks for sharing. My GTS started production 4/18 and still hasn’t completed. I’m curious if getting the gift box might mean my production was completed despite TYD not updating to show that?

My C2GTS went into production 4/27 and got all 4 pictures and have not come out. (my new date is 6/1, from 5/3) I got my little car about the time (5/3) my car should have come out of production.

Blows my mind that they won't tell us anything, or even feel they need to.

Not yet. I’ve refreshed the TYD page over a hundred times today, but that doesn’t seem to achieve anything. They don’t seem to be getting the message. 🤣

Default Still Waiting for My Car Model!

My GTS is waiting at the port. Got all four photos, but no model car. Would love to get the model car, because my first Porsche was a1966, 911!

Your dates are very similar to mine. Production date 4/26, recieved pictures a few days days later. Then my completion date got kicked out a month to 5/31. My new delivery date is a month later at 7/5. My dealers tracker shows it went to the body shop. I noticed mine didn't have the side decal on the elevator pic. But doubt it takes a month to add a decal.
