Few buyers of new Porsches don't know how to run a business (unless they won the lottery I guess); business owners are constantly seeking ways to improve cash flow and efficiencies. So it's a mystery to me why this hasn't been aggressively tackled at a very senior level.

I noticed that the SUV's have by and large already been waved through the EPA certification process. Are 911s just halo products which look good on magazine covers but no longer contribute to cash flow or margins in sufficient numbers to make them a priority? If so, that really does underscore where the auto industry is going.
911's might just be Halo products but they are the Halo products that will ensure that people will continue to pay ridiculously overinflated prices for SUV's and Panameras and even Taycans. An Audi Q5 can be got for significantly less than a Macan as can an X3 or X1. A taycan is significantly more expensive and has significantly less range than a Tesla. The reason people will pay for the Macan is because it allows people to be in the same family as those famous 911's. Mess with the 911 and watch how the brand becomes just another utility brand.

Are they allowed to print the system for you? Was told they are unable to disclose since it's internal system...LOL

Definitely not true. my SA told me to reach out to him at any time for a screenshot. Multiple posters have said similar. I have not done that as I did not want to bug him but now that I am in the active build phase I will take him up on his offer.

That's 100% MoosePucky! My dealer has probably sent me at least 4 over the past two months.

Here's a slightly cleaned up copy of one of mine:

I asked my SA for a screenshot every Friday morning at 10am for the first 4 weeks.... now it happens automatically every Friday morning. My SA is the greatest!

I get a tracking sheet by email on a regular basis - usually within an hour of request. Thought that was fairly typical (??)

Hennessey Porsche is posting tons of 2021s on their site. Are we all still assuming this is a good sign?

They are all "In Transit", no pics of cars. When you see real car pics, that is a good sign.
