2 months? Holy, I can barely mange waiting for the one month trip!
Actual boat time is a month.... It's all the other stuff that adds up to another month
I do realize I'm still in estimate mode at the moment. Things shift based on relation between vehicle completion and the shipping schedule. Should know more hopefully in a week to determine if I'm on schedule or late.
CT is custom tailoring, which means something special is being done by the Exclusive Department after the car has formally completed construction. Time in CT status has nothing to do with PTS - paint to sample. I know because I have PTS on my car but zero time allocated for CT status.
When you do PTS, Porsche doesn't let you keep the painted interior trim. They force you to opt for leather, carbon or aluminum. To me personally, I feel the painted interior trim is a part of the Spyder story. It was standard for the 981 and 987 Spyder. No other model is it a standard. It's very much like the carbon fiber trim is a standard detail for all GTS models. So I inquired about it and was able to add it to my Spyder order for a hefty cost of course!

Yeah, I couldn't bring myself to pay for it, since the aluminum was "free" but it will look really good
My Spyder moved forward in the production schedule from w9 to w7.
OPC (in the Netherlands) expects care in w9, so end of w10 (dealer takes car of the Xpel wrap) I need sunshine and open roads
Oh, man..they're starting to roll out! Ahhh.. Almost there !!
Mine's not a Spyder, but I'm picking up my GT Silver 981S on Tuesday! Weather's been great here in PA, although cold this week but no snow, so hoping for some drive time. Excited!!
Ha... Just heard back from my friend with the Voodoo Blue on order. He said he changed his wheels to Silver. Knowing this, that Voodoo Blue with Silver wheels in the distance in the second photo could be very well his. I checked the PTS list and his was the only one with Silver wheels. I know it could very well be another person's Spyder, but his did just get complete production according to his schedule. Pretty cool to see your car this way! Wish I could see mine
