I hadn’t received that notification yet but went ahead and signed up. Looks like it’s just the prequalification step for the official deposit program - no mention of fees that I saw. It links to new content on their E-Performance microsite, including this statement:

Theyre starting to introduce language to point that production isn’t the same as prototype. They have to get some production model photos available soon - probably August, if it’s a 2019 model year car.

Also, in case you didn’t see it, Nico Rosberg got to drive one and we see it briefly on video here:

Looks good thanks for posting that video. The trunk opening is more normal sedan than hatchback. I would have liked the glass to open with the trunk lid ala Panamera and Model S. The charging plug also looks interesting maybe that was a 800v charger? Car also looks just as big as a panamera so interior space should be great with that size and being an EV.

Yep, as of June 8th👍

Not sure where I was the last month but don't like the name so emblem delete will be one of my options. If it's 80% as the concept photos I'll stick to my 7 month old deposit and complete my order on the S maybe turbo version depending on options and battery life. Thanks again!

If you read the agreement regarding the deposit solicitation, it is nothing like Tesla or any guarantee or anything other than getting your into: “Give us your info and we will pass it onto the dealer — and also mail/email/call you — but the dealer sets deposit amounts, allocations, sale price, and who gets the cars and when.”

On the plus side, if your dealer submits an order demand when the books open, porsche might mail you some swag (or not, they do it for some cars but not others).
