Its unbelievable what has happened after being away for one full day from the forum. A lot of us seem to have their cars ready from production. Congratulations to all you lucky guys!!! And even the first RL Carrera T from a member who clearly is not used to our hysteric cry for pictures lol. Glad to see the exhaust button is for real.

What is also remarkable that the Netherlands now have 4 Carrera T’s available at dealers that are not yet sold to customers. We seem to be the only country in the world where the T is not popular enough. And I kind of like it that way. From the 4 available only 1 is a manual.

Number 1 PDK: https://finder.porsche.com/nl/nl-NL/...-nieuwe-4VM6OQ
Number 2 PDK: https://finder.porsche.com/nl/nl-NL/...-nieuwe-W7W7ZZ
Number 3 PDK: https://finder.porsche.com/nl/nl-NL/...-nieuwe-P6KXGG
Number 4 MT7: https://finder.porsche.com/nl/nl-NL/...-nieuwe-GWL09W

And finally closing with some personal good news: my SA contacted me this morning that my car is not on delay anymore and will be finished next week on Tuesday. Fingers crossed!

We are twins!- my start production date was 3/9 as well....have not had an update either, but looks like a few day lag (hard to wait though!)

They do not usually come in real time, though seems to vary amongst others. Mine all (4 pics) came at once after it left production.

A few towns from the Ahrweiler county (AW): Nürburg, Adenau. Might ring a bell to a few people.

That's weird - mine allegedly started 3/8 (or so TYD says...) and I at least got the first pic today.

Perhaps the color and other options slow it down out of paint. For instance, I have gloss black wheels, so those have to be painted separately and would take longer.

Doubtful. That's not happening on the actual 911 production line. That's in the overall supply chain for the wheels so in the 2+ month process from order submittal to freeze to actual production, porsche is managing those details and estimating demand, putting orders in to the wheel manufacturers, etc. Wheel paint is probably much simpler than you think considering the fairly limited options available across all 911s.

I figured. Just hoping it's not delayed. At this point seems like most people with builds around and after me here are seeing at least one pic. Fingers crossed for tomorrow!

Also a worry. I probably have the most options added I have seen yet!

Is anyone struggling with sport front fascia vs. painted lower lip spoiler vs.none of the above? My build is GT silver...my somewhat loving wife thinks the sport fascia looks like a catfish with snaggleteeth and I think I prefer the painted lower lip. My build locks 4/4 so plenty of time for indecision...TIA

If you get the lower lip painted and don't like it, you can always buy the unpainted one: https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/SKU992SSL.html

If you don't get it painted.....well....you won't get a painted one from the factory. Maybe that helps.

Be sure also to check the email your dealer has is correct. I didn’t receive my Track Your Dream (TYD) email from Porsche when I placed my order. I asked my dealer and was told I should receive it soon. Never did. Two weeks ago I returned to a job I had left ten years ago and they assigned me the same email address from way back when. When I signed in, I found an email from Porsche with my TYD link. They still had my old email from my first 911 in 2010. Never updated it even though I’ve bought several since then.
