Bounced after reaching “scheduled for production”? With the new build it now has blanks for everything, including spec lock date.

Sad either way, but eventually I’ll get it through parts or someone will make a good enough replica i guess.

Sorry. A bit confused. You made changes after the lock date?

No, my lock date was tomorrow and TYD showed scheduled for production in early Jan (I think) with early March delivery. I made a change last Friday and now I have no lock date or anything in TYD.

So, are we sure that the Aerokit is causing orders to be bounced back, and not just delayed?

I asked my SA specifically about this, he reached out to his rep at Porsche (PCNA, I assume?) who could not give an ETA; therefore, for my purposes I'm considering it bounced back and not simply delayed. I've seen some here stating they had delays -- not sure where that comes from, maybe the dealer is just willing to hold the allocation or is promising their first allocation that aerokit does not cause a delay on. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My understanding, and confirmed by two different SA’s, was that the Aerokits were on a stop sale for all but the GTS models, and those were given a potential eight week delay. I’m wondering if that is why people are seeing the delays, or if the status of its availability has changed again.

Anyone had productive conversations about retrofitting? Or thoughts on, given the current shortage, whether the AK wing will ever be available via parts dept or suncoast?
I placed an order for GTS on the 4th. The Aerokit in Gloss Black. Pushed the date few months. But was able to put it in.

I think changing things could have caused an issue. Give it some time. Maybe they need to catch up.

While at the dealership, there was a stop sale on aerokit for all orders from december to april allocation. My allocation is for April. But on TYD it shows the Aerokit is in there. Will see how it goes.

I would have walked out too...that was crazy man!! 25K just for the opportunity to buy a GTS almost like they think you're doing there a favor. SMDH.

That sound like the lower end of ADM range for a GTS - at least in the NY Tri-state area.

Also low end in SoCal where I am. Most were 25-35k on GTS builds. I wouldn’t have paid that. Many Cali dealers are asking for 10-15k on S’s here.

It’s my first Porsche and I called dealers all over with the intent of speaking to the GMs. After lots of calling around (for weeks) this was my best deal.
