I haven't personally heard of or experience V110, but submitting my build was a little weird at first. In my initial build, I added the smoking package because I've had it in all my other Porsches, and the build was accepted and I received V200. Once I realized how stupid the package was (hinders center console space), I asked my SA to remove it and the build went down to V100 "Feasibility Check Failed". This was really weird, but we tried it twice with the same results. I'm thinking the system is still too new for the Hybrids, so I'll have him try it again in January/February.

For your deviated stitching, I'd believe that each color corresponds with a different option code. If you look at your spec, it says "LZ" under the Deviated Stitching/Center option signifying the color, but it's possible that field is "grayed out" on their computer.

If there's anything I've learned in the ordering process, you have to be persistent and not afraid to ask the same question multiple times to make sure it gets done correctly. I'd check in with your SA every once in a while to see if Atlanta has confirmed. My SA emailed corporate about the smoking package issue, and he still hasn't told me if they responded...

One more thing. On your build, you added the Decorative Valve Sleeves with a quantity of four. The description says that one set for $64 comes with four sleeves, so you'd be ordering sixteen decorative valve sleeves for $256. Small thing, but I still wanted to reach out and make sure that wasn't done by error...

Thanks very much! I appreciate the help. And yes, I did make a mistake with the decorative valve covers!

Interesting. Like you, I always have the smoking package because that's where I connect the battery tender. I know in the hybrid that is moot. However I find without the cover, that hole looks strange. That is why I ordered the smoking package. Well, different people, different opinions

My Order status moved from V110 to V200 on 12 December. Exit Port Benicia expected date is 06/07/2019.

That's great news. Make sure the quantity of tire valve stems are changed though. It also tells me that your build was accepted without the Smoking Package, so there should be no reason for my build to be rejected. But I've bothered my SA enough, I'll ask him to try it again in January.

Exit port date doesn't match the on-sale date seen in screenshots, so I'm a little confused on which one to believe. The on-sale date last time I was told was in August, but both are cars are going through the same port (and eventually probably on the same boat) with the same exit date. This is all pretty exciting!

Thanks! My SA said that the decorative valve covers are provided by the dealer, so he already fixed it. He also said that he thinks the August for sale date is a conservative estimate based on EPA approval process uncertainty. We will see.

I have one ordered for the wifey. Crazy how expensive these things have become. However, after buying numerous GT cars over the years I was not in a situation to tell her no!

What is your expected delivery date? A lot of us are hearing August, but the tracker sheets show June. PEC estimate July in their email to me...

Interesting. I was told by my dealer that the only 12V receptacle that stays live after the car is shut off (+15 mins) is the one on the passenger side up behind the glove box. The Porsche Tequipment Li-ion charger manual says: open the car door, plug charger into the 12V receptacle, plug it into the wall outlet, select the correct mode, close the door, walk away without locking it. That works for me. When I tried locking the door, the charger shut off.
