I am one of those who is also waiting. My wife and I picked up the car at Leipzig on June 2 and dropped it off June 26 with about 4,800km on the odo. It is not back home (Toronto) yet, so I am getting anxious! It is still not in the database. I am thinking that maybe after its arrival back in North America, Porsche will put it into their database. Hopefully that will be soon!

I have seen EU delivery VIN's delayed before. But then other times not. There is no rhyme or reason to it for sure.

I just checked your VIN again. Still nada.

So July production is pretty much in and it was very light, which brought my overall projection down a bit. I have not been following RL as close as usual lately so I am a bit out of touch with the number of "waiters" that are still out there.

Are there a lot of Aug builds still hanging around as far as the consensus is concerned? I know that is a vague question so feel free to throw out vague and speculative responses.

My sense has always been that Aug was going to be just the last remaining few cars coming out of production. But that could be off.

We are looking to come in just under 2,500 total NA production at this point according to my "highly sophisticated" (and highly speculative) algorithm.

It seemed like there will be a bunch of builds coming in August. There was a release of build dates back in June where the builds locked within 24 hours of the dealer being told they had one. Myself as well as several others on here had this occur. My build is scheduled to begin on Aug 5th. I haven't emailed my SA yet to see the updated timeline since my build locked a while ago. I'll probably reach out next Monday for an update.

So my 'punt prediction' of 1,981 cars for the USA may hold true after all

Maybe Dr. Ferdinand was referring to the 50 states and not including Canada?

I've put you down for 1844.

I am not starting to see Aug production show up. Unless another round of allocations comes out we are on the last leg here. The countdown has started.

GMAKI,

I am not seeing ID 1847.
I should tell you that it is black and has partial leather and LWBS and I am the second owner.
