Allocations for MY22 992's became available earlier this year. At this point most of them are gone, but there are a few remaining at some dealerships. I would start calling different Porsche dealers around the country to see if you can snag one.

Break out the phone and start calling and be ready (somewhat) to show genuine interest and toss some money for a 'good faith down payment'. Or better yet, if you can, go visit the dealership.

I got mine 3 weeks ago. It's for a base and i have 71 days before it locks. I am still looking for an S, but doubt it will happen. So it's looking like I will have to own up to my base unless i get lucky.

I called a local dealership in So Cal and was able to get an allocation for a 2022 Targa 4s in Mid-August. I have a freeze date of Nov 10 and estimated delivery of Feb 11, 2022.

Exactly right. Once you get on a waitlist, most dealers will tell you it's a minimum of 12 months before you're behind the wheel. That includes the 5-6 months from when you actually get an allocation and place the order, until Porsche builds it and gets it to you. It has only gotten worse since the Spring when I ordered my car. Really sucks.

My brother just put in a deposit on a Toyota Sienna Hybrid. Now, he’s got a 5-6 month wait for… a minivan.
Unfortunately, things aren’t going to trend towards anything resembling normal until at least 2023. Used car prices have yet to peak.

Porsche aside, because its a niche brand, I am starting to not believe this "chip shortage" as on ongoing excuse for all this, for years now. I think the automakers want to change the production and distribution dynamics for cars - don't want millions of cars in inventory pipelines, and the shortages give them the ability to increase the prices on the cars they sell. Other goods manufacturers want to do the same - appliances, etc - shortages are how they raise prices, and they don't want to give those price increases back and return the market to what it was. Taiwan makes 50% of these chips - you know what the COVID case and death rate was in Taiwan today - 5 cases, 1 death. Go look at the numbers for yourself, there is no COVID pandemic in Taiwan that is shutting down all the chip plants.

That all sounds good in theory but car sales in August were absolutely horrible. Auto makers can't stay in business selling at those numbers no matter how high they raise prices.
The current COVID situation in Taiwan has nothing to do with the current chip shortage. It take 6 months or more start to finish to make chips and couple of key chip plants in Taiwan, Japan and Texas were knock off line at a key moment in the economic recovery over the past year. The groundwork for all of this was laid years ago when industries went to "just in time" supply chains.
Several auto makers have just announced they will be building their own chip manufacturing plants so they don't get caught out like this again.

Getting back on topic. I have a 2022 992 on order but I have yet to receive a commission number nor lock my specs. The dealership contacted me today and ask if I would be interested in selling my slot to another customer for cash. The dealer would give me a couple of other perks as well. I am very much considering it. I have my Turbo and 356C so I don't need another Porsche asap.
