"Freeze date?" Does that mean the last day your build can be changed?

^^^ That's awesome, thanks for posting that up. I have an appointment with a salesman at the local Porsche dealer. For whatever reason, NY is the ONLY state that makes it near impossible to get Atlanta delivery so I will have to drop that from my build as this dealer has a Carrera S allocation available very soon. Fingers crossed, can't wait to see how this goes and MSRP is what will be charged.

Do you have to keep reaching out to your SA to change or can you change the build yourself?

Here is my current build:http://www.porsche-code.com/PNCWR523
I don’t want to go above $143K so I’ve been playing the permutation game. IE do I go to 4-way seats so I can do the paldao trim?! These are big decisions ha.

Nice build. All these Aventurine Green with Truffle builds are killing me, making me doubt my entire build approach!

Just a side note, late changes can change your ultimate build date (depending on the change). Common practice (at least in my last several builds via Porsche advice) - try and lock your final changes as soon as possible - as later changes could effect your final date - depending on the change. I think with shortage of chips and other essentials (whatever they may be). On my recent targa build my dealer advised me to lock in as quickly as I could (this is my second 992). I wanted it before end of year, my current date is December 3rd. He wanted me to lock as quickly as possible due to any delays, etc. in change in build or available parts if my build were to change.
Not saying anything would change, but I just locked in my final targa build with 33 days left before freeze. They were pinging me every other day, as they were seeing delays with any big changes in config. I am locked and loaded, and they updated my most current build, and the date had not changed - I did not change anything major - just change a few minor options.

Sure, things could be a little different with COVID, but I think the larger question is — what does it matter? Are you going to settle on the build and NOT get it exactly how you want?

I keep seeing these 2 thousand dollar sunroofs in builds. I literally just realized after 18 months in my Q7 that i should try my sunroof. It's actually a really nice one now that i think of it. Huge piece of beautiful glass, etc. Tried actually using it for the first time a few days ago, as i wanted to see if i should add it to my new 992 build and within 5 minutes thought this is the most pointless thing in the world. What am i missing ?

They are nice if you ever pick up food to take home. You open the sunroof and your car doesn't smell like Mickey D's for the next week, that's worth $2K easily.

Any Porsche employee can check on my car status for me? My SA tells me my freeze date has passed and can't make any changes, but when I asked for an estimated build date/delivery date, I'm told that it is unavailable due to the chip shortage? I'm based in Canada, so my TYD link doesn't show dates, just current status. Please PM me!
