Anyway, I honestly would wear the most comfortable stuff you have. Sweatpants and Sneakers. It's about driving the car. You want to be comfortable. . Porsche sells a ton of clothing, too.
You mean your dealer didn’t even give you a bottle of champagne, a bunch of flowers, an iPhone cable, a book on the history of Porsche etc etc??
In UK you also get 3 years free Apple subscription and other stuff.
Additionally we only pay list price, none of $5-10k BS ‘admin’ fees some of you guys in the States pay.
Buy your next Porsche in the UK - specify LH drive😄

I have specifically asked for unveiling of car when I pick mines up. Will be super upset if they do not, given the damn ADM

One shot-in-the-dark question is I wonder if something happened after production but during testing that would have prevented it being released to Emden? That is pure conjecture but something that I thought about earlier today. I am still so ticked off at this delay, since in Colorado August is the back end of the reliable driving season on the fun mountain roads.
My car is a C2S and I just got very similar delays to yours except my car doesn't get to the San Diego port until 8/8. Mine was built on 2/2 (I have all four photos) and has seen nothing but delays since. I looked over your list of options and our cars do not have much in common except for the extended range tank, the taillights and stuff likely associated with the preferred or sports package. I suspect the delay is actually damage to the car. Mine made a side trip to Creutzwald, France for a reason no one can explain - did your car take a similar path?

At first, I thought you were being sarcastic and making fun of me. lol. Unfortunately, I had the total opposite experience. I literally had pulled up in the dealer's garage with my family and the SA was standing there and pointed at my new 911T, which was in another spot in the same garage. We went upstairs to the showroom/office, signed all paperwork and I went back downstairs with him and left with the car. I expected something much better. But then again, that's why they aren't my dealer any longer.

If I knew they folded down flat, I would have put them back in my build. Too late now.

My last delivery had a big red bow on it and it was a little embarrassing tbh

Mine did not take any path, it's been stuck at "Released for Transport" for 1 month now, and all other milestones keep getting delayed. Either they broke it or lost it...neither being ideal!

Waiting not only means delaying your purchase but also running the risk of further stop sales.
And getting hit with the dreaded price increases.

It's more or less like this:


You might be better off with your solution. And custom Cocomats for the rear are likely a much cooler look! The shelf just kept my pizzas and boxes of donuts level and in place.

I highly encourage everyone to do ATL or LA PEC delivery if you're able. Now that is where they make it super special for you. In fact, for ATL PEC, they only do two deliveries per day. You get a special lanyard and everywhere you went, PCNA folks congratulated you and it truly made you feel special. Even during lunch, you get the best seat in the house reserved for you, etc. And the best part, you get to do a long nice drive back to your home with all break-in complete!

My future Porsche will always be done with PEC delivery

Especially relevant at the moment:

MY24 will probably see a roughtly $8k-10k price increase on MSRP to account for inflation and Porsche's wishes to be even more profitable.

I think our best chance would be Bose, but I'm not going to hold my breath for it. Given how much later my build date is I'll be happy if I get a steering wheel and steel brakes

Man at this pace the 991.2T becomes more and more appealing....right out of the gate MSRP went up by $16k and no roof race-tex which adds another 1.5k. I read the same about profitability and that Porsche consumers are not susceptible to a price hike, let's see the how the elasticity model works here with MSRP at $125k
