I did ask about the pricing, and was told nothing has been set (or communicated) by Porsche. However, it's a general 'agreement' that they (dealer) will help 'absorb' the increase, as they expect it to be modest. (As we all know, 2023 pricing-reality may be far from 'modest'.)
Yes, it will be a 2023 model; my take is I lost my 2022 slot because of the PTS 'hold' that was placed on my reallocation. If I had not had PTS, I believe I would have been folded into the 2022 MY reorders.

Mine is a PTS too but got a May allocation for a 2022 that immediately showed V100 status.

In that case, I would suggest you have your dealer check what the factory is showing for your status. Hopefully, you got lucky and your PTS was 'unstuck' and you'll get a 2022.

@MiamiNYer, one more point, I DID ask my dealer if I could drop the PTS--and I sent them a Carrara White build for the 2022. I have NO clue how hard they 'researched' that...but the report back was that it was simply 'good news' that I have a 2023 slot for PTS.

Have you guys been given any information by dealer about production stopping due to the Ukraine war? I have noticed that while “off the record” info is given, I dont think anyone has been formally informed their car is delayed now due to the war.

Delivery update
I just got an update from my dealer and basically have lost a month from build through delivery.
the dealers have this data subject to the crisis in Europe getting worse.

Hello, Would you be kind enough to be more specific?What model? What was your build date? Delivery date? Does it show on TYD? Did you dealer mention when/if TYD will reflect? Thank you!

Factories are only building the cars that were on the assembly line and had parts. I believe they are running 1 shift and thats part time. All other cars have no wiring harnesses. The 1 month delay is to account for what has happened so far since Feb 24. I expect it to continue.

No it does not... I'm bracing for more delays annouced in the next few days for impacted models. It's clearly very precarious situation. Consider it's entirely possible they may be trying to get materials and jigs out of western Ukraine, find, care for and potentially employ displaced workers, in addition to starting up and testing at other make-sites.

It basically says that:
- The table like things they use to build wiring harnesses (it appears like it is twice as bigger as a dining room table) are being attempted to transported out of Ukraine to relocate production.
- Rebuilding these templates is very expensive and time consuming.
- They are rehiring 60+ year old retired men who dont need to serve in military
- They are relocating families to work in other locations
- They are moving production to Serbia, Romania, and one other country I forgot.
- They are still producing wiring harnesses in Ukraine but at a much slower pace however trucking companies arent willing to go into Ukraine as trucks are feared to never return or take too long to return. Looks like one reference said it takes 3 days to go from Poland to Ukraine.
More importantly:
- Wiring harnesses used in Porsches are unique because of the luxury status of the car. In other words, Porsche not cutting costs to reuse wiring harnesses in multiple cars or share them with broader VW group means they are in this tough spot where no other factory can build their wiring harnesses.
My conclusion is this wont be resolved anytime soon and there may be drastic delays in Porsche.

Hey all, interesting thread and I feel your pain. But on a positive note...my 2020 992 4S got lost for 6 months from expected April delivery until October. Dealer and Porsche NA no help - Covid right? It did finally arrive and I love every minute in it. I pre-traded in an AMG E63 wagon so was without a fun car for a while and that was irritating, but survived. So hang in there and you will get your new car and Porsche will build it to perfection. Do I really care if it might have been a '21, not really at this point.
