Thanks... I spoke with Joey about this directly as well. Porsche does not removed it from your actual build sheet, but what they do is state in Euro Delivery paperwork that you may have it removed at the port and the dealership will provide a reimbursement for the cost of the option... or they will replace it once you get back to the US
My SA's exact words:
They need to remove the fire extinguisher from the builld for european delivery.
I'm hoping it is a misunderstanding rather than a change in policy. I'll see if I can get the e-mail PCNA sent him on the matter.
I passed on both the S and GTS at MSRP. No interest. The GTS is especially odd to me. A bunch more money for a tune and loads of Alcântara. No thank you.

Mine might be on Supreme Ace. My port is Houston w/ ETA April 1. Looks like Supreme Ace has done Davisville then Houston trip before. My TYD says car is on a boat south of Ireland, but I cannot find anything else going to US with similar departure dates.
My T is frozen now, waiting on the build. I bet I configured it every day for 2 months. I changed the color from green to white and added and took off almost every option available. Going back and forth with the roof, RAS, wheels and interior.
Do any of you have any regrets on your build now that it’s locked? My only regret is not adding the center console in race tex. I should have put some alcantra in the build.

I go back and forth regretting not getting the Race Tex steering wheel. I just bought a Defender 110 V8 and it has an alcantera steering wheel and I love it. I also go back and forth regretting that I passed on the carbon roof because it was too glossy in person. Now I am doubting my choice.

Knowing it's not that far away yet still well over a week until delivery would have me stalking the building the car located! Please take 992 pictures when taking delivery.

I finally justified in my mind spending the $$ on the CF roof. If for anything else, it’s unique. I started reading about the alcantera and cleaning and I left it out. Mistake!
^^ I too had a Defender 110. Bought it in August 2020. Put about 10k miles on it. Loved it, but wanted a 2Dr Bronco. Sold the Defender for MSRP in October 2021, bought the Bronco in February 2022. No regrets.

After I saw the first few builds posted here, I have second guessed:
1. RS Spyder wheels. Looked so good on that Rubystar. Didn’t want to commit to them because I hate how the black ones look on GTS and was afraid they’d possibly mimic that more than the platinum look.
2. Leather stitching. Looked great on the yellow one. I did the T package in gray instead.
With that said, none of it is a real deal breaker for me. I find it easier to get over styling decisions (I too flipped a bunch on these so I’m guessing I’ll change my mind during ownership as well). Performance options are a different story, so hopefully you sorted out that RAS decision!

Is your build frozen? I regret not getting RAS on the T. Initially I wanted a more 'pure driving' experience so left it out. However after reading multiple threads here, I felt like I made a mistake. I then started a thread on RAS lol and after all the responses (60% of the folks as per poll have RAS equipped), I'm still not sure if I would get RAS.
I also didn't get the leather interior
The thing is, with all the waiting it's so easy to start second guessing your options.

I had Alcantera on my M4CS. While it's great, I did not opt for it as it looked out of place in a black interior.
