He did say it’ll be the same build, but I didn’t ask if I had the option to change. I don’t think there’s anything I’d want to change on my Boxster GTS (http://www.porsche-code.com/PNV4DIF6)

My SA said changes are permitted provided they have the parts! Which I'm appreciative of because I've learned so much since placing my initial order. Time to redesign!

I'm wondering if anyone has an update who is in the same situation I am. I passed my lock point and have a March build for a Cayenne GTS. I contacted my SA today and he says my dates have not changed. He did say they lost 12 cars here in Naples, FL. Sorry for all that lost there cars from this, I can only imagine how frustrating that would be. But what I'm looking for is anyone else with any information that have already passed lock date and has a build date soon. Are we being pushed back or how will Porsche handle the orders? Thanks in advance!

Why are we waiting 2 months for the lock to happen again?
I figured all of cars getting rebuilt from this incident would jump ahead of all other cars in the line that were not locked.
There is nothing Porsche can prep on a car that hasn't been locked given every option could change on the last day before lock.
Moving us ahead of these vehicles seems like it would not perturb anything in their production pipeline.

Porsche (and most mfgr’s) use an “arrive just in time” supply chain system. That means PLATFORM production must be scheduled several months ahead of time (base, S, GTS, Turbo, GT3, etc.) The freeze date is for individual options only, not the platform. The allocation is for the specific platform and cannot be changed. That requires a new allocation. Allocation of platform production is set when you get your V200 date. That is how that date is calculated and when PLATFORM production is set So, any platform with a V200 date set before the FA started burning will most likely stay on current production dates. All V200 dates after the FA started to burn will bumped behind all FA platform production which is just being scheduled now. As soon as a damage assessment is completed, I expect FA owners who lost cars will receive platform allocations with V200 dates from there. ​​​​

My guess is C@P is platform production scheduling. How many base, S, GTS, Turbo, GT3, etc. do we need to put into production two months from now. Your platform allocation is different from your freeze date which is platform options only.

PTS cars are usually the last production run of the MY.

Remember that different models use different assembly line with different production scheduling. So delivery dates for Macan’s will differ from 911s will differ from 718s, etc.

Wow! That is incredibly late for MY22, and that's probably after their summer break...I wonder why they wouldn't just switch to MY23 for you? Maybe it has something to do with PCNA's commitment to delivering the same model years, but that's a bit of a stretch here.

Confirmed by the dealer - they will rebuild the same VIN, which is a 2022 model year - even though build will be completed by early September and delivery (to the US - considering a Euro delivery in early/mid September) by the end of October.
