Ask him if there are any open campaigns. Your car’s VIN is already generated and he can pop it into their system and see if there’s any open campaigns, which would indicate if there’s any missing parts or software issue or whatever.

I was sitting tight for months but started to get really excited once it was built and at the port. Back to waiting [im]patiently. It is what it is. Hope at least it’s unique to me and others have better news!

Car made it to the port in Jacksonville and was offloaded on the 30th. It then went straight into the inspection/prep area and thats the last my SA has heard as I stopped by and spoke with him yesterday and he said he was waiting on the next status notification, the Monroney, and the truck schedule. He said I am fortunate in that the dealership has enough cars that were shipped and offloaded from the Siem Aristotle in Jacksonville that it would fill a whole truck. He said because of that, it won't be zig zagging and dropping off a car here and there at other Porsche dealerships but will come straight to Cary NC. He still believes I will have it by this weekend but we'll see. Can't complain if it doesn't happen. Original delivery date was April 8th in Atlanta when i placed the order so I'm still way ahead of the game! I'll keep you updated and post some pictures when it happens. 👍

Just remember Gator, our cars left the factory on the same day and yours is one truck drive away from your garage while mine is passing the Azores, so no whining 
This is a total guess, but I wonder if yours (Gator) is getting a PCM update at JAX while mine got it at Emden, which is why they split there. Wasn't there some folks whose cars were held in San Diego for a couple of weeks for the PCM update?
Anyway, I guess all of us on the thread are starting to learn to factor in a month extra somewhere for port delays, boats circling the port waiting for a spot, etc. etc.

Mine left Emden Nov.5, arrived at San Diego on Dec. 1 and got to dealer on Dec. 8 (or maybe 9) and I took delivery Dec. 11. When it was on the ship, I was shown the screenshot of the Porsche system showing my exact car (with VIN showing) had no open campaign. I was never told about a PCM update happening anywhere (port or dealer) and if it became a thing after I took delivery, no one has told me. About a week ago, the car did do an over the air update but it took something like 20 seconds to download and I can’t figure out what changed! Anyways, food for thought! Hope you guys get your cars soon.

One fact my SA passed on to me is one of the hold ups he has seen recently on many cars including all models that there is a chip that they are short on that goes in the Bose system amplifiers. Not sure if you have the Bose or not or if it affects the Burmeister system but it's a chip that sends the seat belt warning chime through the amplifier. Said they can't deliver the cars by law without it. Not sure if that is the actual holdup or if it's a guess on his part but he said he has had recent vehicles held up because of it. I have the Bose and he said he had a Taycan and two Macan's with the Bose sound systems that were delayed because of that. The delay was actually helpful because my garage is spotless now!😅

I do have the Bose and was not affected. Hopefully whatever is happening clears up.
Earlier today, the microphone in mine stopped working. I immediately thought of you guys and thought shoot, maybe mine needs the software update! Thankfully after I turned the car off and came back to it a few hours later, everything worked again like a charm.

Hey everyone,
This is my first post here, though admittedly I've spent hours on here researching and getting opinions on various build options. I'm very excited to have recently put in an order for a new GTS ST. My build lock date should be in a couple weeks, and I was given a delivery estimate of mid-April. I lucked out that my dealer had an allocation available. Just as a heads up to all of you considering carbon ceramics, I was told by my dealer in St. Pete, Florida there's been a stop-order put on them sadly. I presume that is the case for all non-Turbo S models at the moment, presumably due to supply issues, though I can not confirm. Don't know if there's any one else out there who has recently run into this same issue. Anyways, happy to be joining the Panamera club. My build, for anyone interested: http://www.porsche-code.com/PN4MW189

I too just got word on a GTS allocation. My local dealer on the east-coast of FL is finalizing a Taycan allocation trade to get me a GTS from a dealer in CA.

Trongngo97: I have a Macan with expresso interior. It is admittedly a darker brown than either of your choices and has a brown steering wheel. I think that it looks perfect and would not want a black wheel. Just to let ya know that the brown wheel can look great with brown interior.

@trongngo97 @JRose625 Same for me. My Panamera GTS is also a March build with delivery in April. I don't mind if it gets delayed by a couple of months IF I could do European Delivery. Here is my build:

@richardbf I envy your garage. My 2-car garage is only 20ft wide. Builders nowadays make tiny garages. Not sure how I can fit my Panamera & my wife's AMG with powerwalls and whole house water filtration system. Also, that won't leave room for our bikes.
