oh they wont tell you anything about it unless you ask if your vehicle has a stop sales order on it. I lucked out and it was only a 3 day wait for me. Poor @BruceG had to wait something like 2 weeks. His car was in port a couple of weeks before mine got to port but I got my car first

MiamiNYer

Yup… still waiting. Hope you are still loving yours daily Orca15!

2023 Platinum Edition Gulf Blue Panamera. Black leather interior, 2+1 back seat, assistance and sports chrono packages. Can’t wait!

SS22

Oooh I’d love to see photos of the Gulf Blue when you get yours!

That color is awesome! You won't be blending in anywhere soon!

Yes, I love that car. Went out riding yesterday with my Bernese Mountain dog (100+ pounds) in the back and the ever present smile on my face whenever we hit the road. Can't wait to hear about yours!

MiamiNYer

Let’s hope so! My family calls it a gender reveal car! Happy you are loving yours! Just had dinner with someone who picked his up last week and couldn’t stop raving about it

MiamiNYer

Will be DELIGHTED to post! Can’t wait!

I placed a demand order for the same color in a 2023 GTS in September (2022). How long did you have to wait from initial Demand order , allocation to getting ?

MiamiNYer

My initial order was placed early July ‘21. October allocation got pushed out to December. Missed a couple of boats at Emden, wish I’d missed one more (Felicity Ace sank in March ‘22). By the time I was offered a replacement car, ‘22 PTS window had closed so pushed out to Fall ‘22 for a MY 23. Car has been in the shop since 21st September. Hopefully build will be finished this week. After that, who knows?!

It depends on your dealership and how many allocations they get based on past sales etc and what other dealerships/customers have as demand orders

Placing the order doesn't start the clock, because the build date could be a few weeks or a few months away. The actual allocation comes with a production (Porsche "V260" event) date, so you should try to find that out. from there, I can tell you what happened to me (and SS22 about the same), but MiamiNYer took a little longer before their car sank

My build date was last week of Nov 2021. The dealer configuration freeze was about a month prior, the Porsche freeze (no changes) was a week prior. It was at the port of Emden around a week after production started. I think PTS adds a week or more?

From there, the game begins, mine took 16 days to leave the port, and several weeks to get to Baltimore, and a week more to get released. Others jumped on the boat, took a couple of weeks in transit, but some then sat in port for month(s).

All in all, ordered August 2021, freeze Oct 15, 2021, start build Nov 25, 2021 deliver Jan 29, 2022. One data point but I think I'm around the average.

How many they get seemed to be elusive. They did say there was two other GTS in front of my demand order. They hoped Porsche would see their demand orders an allocate them. The only information they gave was possible delivery April/May 2023. Which I am ok with a date of then. I checked yesterday to see if there was any movement on the two in front of mine and SA stated allocations pushed to first week of November. IMHO it is ashamed Porsche doesn't have an idea of how many cars they will produce then break those numbers out by region and dealer. I am afraid what we are seeing now in the auto industry is going to be the wave of the future.

I would just like as basic timeline to go by and Porsche doesn't seem to provide that.

Thanks that is what I was looking for just some time lines. What you posted goes along with their estimated date. The dealer is not one of the largest but they do sell a bunch.

Love the color... ordered mine with the beige interior.

Welcome-

Not sure how things are now but when I was shopping I heard everything from $15K over MSRP and "when we get an allocation" to "$1K deposit to put your name in the hat." Wanting none of that I just kept shopping until I found a dealer with an actual allocation at something under MSRP. But I called/visited/emailed way over a dozen dealers. Luckily the one I ended up with was only 3 hours away so not too bad...not sure of your situation but the "put you name in a hat" thing was where I drew the line. To me, the distance to the dealer was far down the list...I searched from NH to FL.

You can always do a nationwide search and do a performance center delivery in LA or Atlanta if either site is closer to you than the dealership you find.
