My Porsche rep told me that leather package weighs ca 6-7Kg..No real confirmation as well.
Just thinking that many parts of the standard interior are made of a soft plastic polymer aka foam.
If you watch any YouTube videos at the factory, I believe there is one with a turbo s that is followed from beginning to end. There is also a video with a gold pts gt3 I believe. When looking at shots of them applying the leather on the dash etc. it seems to me they just add it on top of the standard dash etc. So I wouldn’t be surprised with the increased weight.
I've been lurking in this thread for about the last 50 pages , I might as well jump all the way in . My T just reached it's freeze point yesterday and it scheduled for a late March delivery .

Woot looks like we are in the same boat (literally maybe!)
Porsche just moved my freeze date in by 17 days. Hopefully this is good news that production is going well and others will move in as well. It did not change the 3/24/23 delivery date.
Just to add another perspective to consider, there have been times where maintaining service history with the dealership has saved my ****. Was able to get Audi to cover a cylinder head replacement at 60k (well outside of warranty) as a result. Have had other cars maintained by independents after a certain time in the car's life and the dealer wasn't nearly as accommodating when I approached them after an issue surfaced.
very true, the 10-20% savings by going to an indy shop aren’t worth it in the long run

Based on some of the Porsche dealer records that I’ve seen posted on bring-a-trailer cars, some dealers are charging much more than an extra 10-20% on basic maintenance. I’ve seen spark plugs for $25/each, oil for $40/quart, etc.
Scratching my head... I have been checking TYD today since others mentioned freeze dates and production dates moving up... Nothing all day, and then when I logged in about 5min ago the only thing I noticed that changed was right on the home page it updated my "Order Created Date" to todays date... i didnt make any adjustments to the order, and havent spoken with my SA in the last week. I went through the option list and it all seems to be there (hard to go line by line and just use the codes... wish this would update with descriptions)... The only option code that I dont see is the Wheels + Manual transmission... but assume that since I optioned the regular Carrera S wheels and the Manual is the default option that is why...
There is one other option code on there "ZAB" that I wasnt sure off either... anyone know?
Also the estimated time to dealer arrival is blank because I have Leipzig Euro Delivery in June, so they havent put a date there
Yep, any "standard" option codes don't show up on the TYD build sheet for whatever reason, but for some reason they show ZAB which is the code for the porsche crest on the hood.
I also noticed my "order created" date shifted several times over the last month. It originally showed the date I submitted the build to my SA.

Oh Right! The Crest... I knew that and completely forgot. Weird that the 7-speed Manual and Wheels don't show up but literally everything else does... such a quirky tool. Glad to hear your "order date" shifted around too... must just be one of those weird TYD glitches i've read a lot about.
Have any of you inquired about maintenance plans? Wondering what the cost is these days.
I just bought a Macan for my wife last week. 3 year / 30K maintenance plan on that was $1750. It's ~30% savings versus paying a la carte for the 20K and 30K mile services at the dealership.
I figure 911 should be in the same ballpark.
