I believe that my extended waiting time is a bit self inflicted due to my willingness to wait for a MY 2023 unit.

2024 seems to be the rumored 992.2 first year

Yes, mostly identical. Didn't look at my crystal ball properly in 2021 to see that...LOL Not really anguishing over my prospective vehicle being a .1 or .2 either. Are you saying I should wait another year or more to nail down a .2?

I signed a purchase agreement with a refundable $5k deposit for a C2S at MSRP in the middle of December of 2021 at my Porsche dealer in St. Louis. I was told at that time that I was fifth on the list and that I should have a car in 12 to 18 months. In July, I was told that I was currently third on the list. Checked in with my SA today and was informed that I was still third on the list. I beginning to feel like I am getting jerked around as I just find it hard to believe that my local dealership has only received two C2S allocations in one year. Is this amount of allocations for C2S typical for a dealership? I am growing tired of waiting and may just move on as I doubt that I will even receive a 2023 model at this rate.

If you're not in a rush, you could wait. You risk your model being a hybrid for the .2 and depending on your priorities, that might be something you don't want. That part, we'll need a crystal ball for. For the last few generations, the .2 model has been full of significant upgrades and performance gains so I'd hope for a .2 over a .1 at this point.
I think with the collapse of the Chinese market's demand for luxury goods, the United States might get rewarded with more allocations starting this quarter so we might see shorter waits all around for the 992.

I mean Porsche has been on the same 7 year cycle for 911 generations for multiple generations, 4 model years .1 and 3 years .2 so a crystal ball wasn't necessary.

I put down $70k, and technically have an allocation, but no car
This is getting very frustrating. I'm 23 and am self employed. I was on the waitlist for 5-6 months; the guy in front of me decided he wanted a different model so I jumped to next in line, I was offered a Turbo S model and turned it down. Week or two went by and we finally "got the allocation."
Went through the initial process and between my age and financing they asked for 50k down; I gave them $70k. There will also be a 15k adm. We planned to finance it (for credit building reasons mainly, but also so they will have initiative, and make their money's worth) Its now been another 5 months. As the title says I technically have an allocation already assigned to me, but absolutely no word from the factory.. i went with a highly optioned 992 GTS with PTS.
i checked out the configurator recently and they have now removed the PTS option.. If they keep skipping my car much longer I assume I will not get the PTS I was told was available. I was supposed to have the car by July/August; its now halfway through October, no VIN, no dates..
Anyone have any suggestions on what I can do, or what might be going on? I'm supposed to be moving, we just bought a house across the country and this is starting to become quite bothersome.

yes, the dealer sent the build info to the manufacturer after we signed papers, and i got an email from porsche thanking me for the order and telling me to sign up on the website, but there is no linked car/VIN

Your post seems like you are trolling "...they asked for 50k down; I gave them $70k" - Who does that?
V110 means that the order has to be reviewed by someone at Porsche to see if they can build it...more than likely it is because of the PTS, which your dealer will be notified needs to be removed.
