When you log into my porsche...should see a window for your vehicle on order. With a box to put in your commission number.

 

Carrier has arrived. I’m out of town, so SA provided the pictures. Built as ordered per SA. Awaiting confirmation of 4 zone and electric steering wheel adjust.

 

So so so sweet! Any chance he'll let you trade for the red one?? JK - your blue is fantastic.

 

after seeing a carmine red with black side vent and door handles at my country club I seriously considered going that route. Beautiful color, and pics do not do it justice.
I finally caught a break and got the tires I hoped for.

 

Morgan - your Panamera is sapphire blue metallic?
regular Panamera or executive?

 

You can't go wrong with carmine! mmorgan...gorgeous car! Looks like I'm still on schedule for a 4/20 dealer delivery.

 

yes, Sapphire Blue Metallic. Regular Panamera Turbo S (not hybrid)

according to SA, 4 zone climate control and electric steering wheel adjust made it into build.

hopefully they make it into your build as well, I know you are concerned about those options in your executive SBM build.

 

I remember this spec! Congrats, she’s really a looker.

I am curious, however, to know why she has had her trim badge deleted.

 

1. Car is going in for full PPF, would have to be removed anyway.
2. Car is an homage to SBM, “Porsche” in taillights is already in black, adding Panamera Turbo S below is distracting IMHO, regardless of lettering color.
3. Stealthy as a giant blue Porsche can be, haha. Maybe get some good will from police, haters who may think it’s a Tesla S.
4. It’s a “if you know, you know” sleeper. Split wing is a tell that it’s something special, but you would have to be an enthusiast to know.

 

Signed up for TYD today (thanks to this thread contributors). It appears my freeze date has moved up two weeks earlier to 3/8/2023. Waiting for sales rep to get back to me to confirm info is correct.

 

Just received a TYD email for my 4S E-hybrid order, manufacture process completion tentatively set for end of March / early April. First time Porsche owner!

 

You are going to love it. And it won't be the last. Wish my first one was new...it was a 74 I bought ten years old for $12K

 

Confirmed Rear seat console/4 zone climate control and electric adjust steering column.

 

I do have confirmation of the rear seat A/c panel in my Panamera 4 hybrid executive -- also in Sapphire blue. Your new Panamera looks really nice in the sunlight. THis color changes with the light. What stereo did you end up with?

I can't determine yet if they installed the electric column motor or if it ended up with a manual adjustment.

Mine is sitting in the Port of Houston waiting for a truck to carry the car to PECLA in a few weeks -- now scheduled for March 24 at 1 pm. Seems like a a long time to get the car from Houston to Los Angeles but this extra delay is the price for having it delivered at PECLA.

 

Regarding PECLA - for me, the extra wait between PECATL and the dealer was significant, like 2 months. It is a combo of shipping, conservative slop so that the car isn't late, and when they have an appointment.

Mine was primarily the latter due to COVID backup, but I bet it is at least part of your wait. They only have so many slots.

True story - when I decided to change from PECATL to dealer delivery, the ATL guy was able to get me on a ship a few days earlier, going to Baltimore vs. JAX. The ship to JAX ended up swimming with the fishes a week or so after I got my car. Go back and look around Jan 2022 on this thread for more details.
