If by some miracle this post by a Noob gets read...
I have a confirmed order. My freeze date is November 3, 2023 with a January 2024 delivery. Though I have been told by my SA (somewhat emphatically) that PTS is closed, I've read here and elsewhere in the past few days that people are ordering PTS. I was also told by someone with a popular YouTube channel that PTS re-opens in September, 2024.
IIRC, my SA was not thrilled about submitting an order with PTS selected only to have the order rejected at the last minute. He thinks the T will be discontinued soon and I will lose out on a car if this is the case. Does this mean the order isn't really looked at by Porsche until the closer to production and that any little hiccup means "no Porsche for you!"?
Such an opaque process for someone ordering a new Porsche for the first time. Any help at all is greatly appreciated!

If you have a confirmed order (that shows up in MyPorsche.com) I can't imagine that you'll lose out on the car. I expect that worst case would be that they'd tell you PTS isn't available and to select a different color.
I don't know that for certain, but if you have the build allocation I can't imagine that you'd completely lose it over PTS.

@Adam12 , congrats on the allocation.
If PTS is available on configurator, Porsche is willing to build it. Cancellation is a possibility, but unlikely, as mixing paint is not the most challenging part of the supply chain and Porsche is charging a massive premium for the privilege.

I think they do PTS at a different facility and supposedly they've been having quality control issues with the work. Someone correct me if I'm wrong
Thanks for the parking spot today at Sunday Motors!
Haha, wish I could have stayed a bit longer but at least another T got my parking spot! I told my buddy Will that I thought your RL handle was DSC something lol
I heard you guys were chatting for a while. Awesome license plate btw

The café is Porsche themed and true to it's name, Sunday mornings are wall to wall Porsches. Saturdays have a lot of BMW's and some muscle cars, but also Porsches too. There is no rhyme or reason really, just car guys hanging out and drinking good coffee.

Car themed coffee bar where car guys hang out throughout the day? Not a cars and coffee guy but that sounds pretty cool.
