ADMs dropping

People in the US market will keep paying the ADMs, so they will never go away. I am convinced of that now. The only way to normalize the US market is for the China economy to suffer a big dislocation, forcing Porsche to send their cars to the US.

The pandemic (yes, we're still talking about the pandemic) threw the supply chain out of whack. You don't just shut everything down on a global scale and then expect everything to return to normal just because the governments said "Go!".
All of that was exacerbated by manufacturers shifting to a JIT production and scaling model.
The supply and demand chains just simply have to work out some of the bottlenecks in the system. It's like if you've been fasting for a week, and all of sudden you throw down 3 cheeseburgers and a whole enchilada, it's gonna take a few days for your GI to work through all that food, not to mention the heart burn.
These things go in cycles. The days of parading around on Rennlist because you got 10% off MSRP will be around eventually. When, is anyone's guess, however.

Why? Looking for a TT or TTS?

Also with the price hike and lack of options available (No PCCB) very little value IMO, as it prices out like a GT3 stripper. PCCB was a big one for me.

Intermediate
I have a MY24 992 Turbo S allocation that is currently on the ship from Germany to Houston that took me 3.5 years to get but no ADM on it but it is specd with over $50k in options for a price of $284,998. They typically charge $30k ADM the dealer said since it took me 3.5 years to get the allocation they are not charging me ADM

The price of the car without any options.
Example:
911 GTS 150k
Options 30k
My sense is for example that if dealer gets 20% profit on the 150k base price of the car, they might get 30% or more on the options part. By extension, I’ve also wondered if the SAs get a higher commission on the options so they’re incentivized to sell more. Although from experience, SAs don’t seem pushy at all and seem to be rather candid but it’s also because I’ve not optioned a Porsche less than $30k so they might already be happy and for a little bit more don’t want to come off as pushy.

Advanced
In my experience every time I had tried to custom order a Porsche which ever dealership
I was dealing with have always aggressively tried to make me add options.
So yes it would be obvious, they make a generous profit on that.

Does it matter? Negotiate the best you can (good luck with that) and either live with the results or don’t. It’s a very easy decision.
