Just wanted to help everyone out since there are so many posts about the LWB seats. Here is a poll to help see where we all stand. Also post build date and delivery expected date. I started. V200 July build and Oct Delivery with LWB seats.

July build-Oct/Nov delivery. Will not take without LWB. High probability to lose allocation all together. I'm ok with it.

EDIT : September build with buckets now!!!

I don't blame you. It makes or breaks the car for me. The whole look of the interior. Just keep waiting, I'm sure they will increase supply. My guess is they are trying to get people to move up to fill spots right now but will have them available later on.

September Build and November 6th expected delivery. My dealer received e-mail that any one asking for LWB seat will be delayed for 10 week. Even though I want LWB seat my delivery date has not changed.

I believe that if you can't get the car exactly like you want it then it makes no sense to order a new Porsche and pay 100K. It's not worth stressing over this situation.
I actually find the whole ordering process pretty lame. The competition is very high at this price point and if you have some options on a configurator and you are claiming a customer can build their car the way they want it and then make that same customer go through all this BS(either the color is not available,then the seats/engine blowing up in the past)...I'm not impressed.
Great car,don't get me wrong...and congrats to those that are getting it! But not worth the suffering IMO.

The above represents my opinion-flame away if you want...

Sept build, Nov delivery. According to the system as it stands, LWB delay pushed me out one week from original V200 date.

I changed my color today and me and my SA were holding our breath, hoping The computer wouldn't spit me into V100 status. We confirmed that dark blue metallic will not be available after December and my order stays V200, still with the LWBs. Unreal the stress with this car. This is supposed to be fun, right?

It feels almost like the Soup **** from Seinfeld. Just keep your money out, head down, and don't talk back or NO CAR FOR YOU.

Kidding and very happy to have an allocation, but it still has been a little crazy at times.

I am seeing that some people who have Sept/Oct builds (or after) seem to be getting their LWB orders through to V200. Maybe some truth to this after August build rumor (getting LWB)?

How about two extra options:

No allocation with LWB and going insane
No allocation without LWB and going insane
