There is nothing official announced, but the rumor is the 992.1 T will end production sometime this spring or early summer. The thought is there will not be a 2025 T. The 992.2 will start to be produced. Nobody knows if or when there will be a 992.2 T, or if it will have a manual option or be hybrid. If that matters to you, my advice would be to take the 992.1 now while you can get it. You could always trade up later if it turns out they make something you like. What month did your dealer say the T would be delivered?
My neighbor just got on the list for allocations for 2025, a cab 4s. His dealership to him 2026 and up will be hybrids. So he was definitely locking in before the hybrid and taking advantage of the new bumper if it’s available.
Wanna hear a funny, they made him buy the Porsche watch as well as a deposit to just get on the list. 🖕
You still have all the stock stuff too, so in effect 2 different setups. That means your stock parts can live longer, while the track parts can be more optimized for track (rebuildable,.. etc).
The point I was getting at with my question was the upgrades for a GTS and a T are the same parts. So if you are going to upgrade a GTS, might as well just start with a T. Unless someone knows something I don't?
Correct, both T & GTS have the same lightweight dna approach I believe.

Am I the only one that finds this odd? A MY25 this far out? His dealer is feeding him a load of BS regarding MY26+ being the hybrids. They sound rather clueless as are most dealers. Dealers are generally more in the corporate dark than they care to ever admit.
The watch thing seems to be the norm for GT cars at dealerships that are not adding a ADM. This might be the first I have heard of a required watch purchase on a non-GT car.
Edit: MY25 will be the 992.2, so if he is wanting to avoid that he will be SOL via a 2025.

Maybe so, but everything I mention is true as I saw his paperwork and a picture of the watch on order. His cab4S comes in at over 180K. I’m guessing he has a price guarantee but I didn’t ask. I’d he’s being mislead I can’t say but it’s not his first Porsche, so I’m guessing he knows the right questions to ask?

Any dealership can write a buyers order for a vehicle they have no clue on the specifications nor allocations for. They will take anyone’s money on the hope that something eventually develops. If Porsche has another price increase between now and then he will be subject to pay it. The dealership is not going to eat it.

Can’t speak on his dealerships motives. Nor do I understand your counterpoint? All I think is he’s trying hard to lock in before a hybrid for his model. If they are exaggerating then so be it, he still gets his car. If it’s a hybrid he’s as he puts it, he’s “out”. Not sure if that means his deposit is non refundable or not, he will certainly get stuck with the watch, which I think is bs too.

I would love to see this paper work that shows it's for a 2025. There's no way to spec a 2025 until Porsche actually releases the configurator for it. Are you sure it's not a 2024?

Sounds like he really stuck it to the dealer on getting a ‘hard lock’ before the hybridization arrives. Very cool!

Yes, 2025. Apologies I can’t ask him for his paperwork to post. And if the dealership is fking with him, they will lose a sale…if they even care.
I just think the watch story when he mentioned it was priceless to see his face.
More importantly we just need to wait to see if that model year of 2026 is announced as a hybrid? Then his dealer did him a favor.

Not sure if on the list for the allocation list means he’s locked. You Porsche guys waiting for years on some of these models is insane and likely why dealerships act this way? 😇

IMO you have a commission number and you actually have a real build slot, not just a possibly empty promise from a dealer...
My dealer wouldn't take a deposit until they had a commission number to put my name on in the system.
