Ha! I keep messing with the Porsche Builder too, and also keep looking at other builds at dealers. Not like I can do anything about my choices so I don't know why I torture myself. When I thought I'd be waiting until August, I contemplated finding a used Carmine Red. That color has really...

If you contact your SA, they might know. That's how I found out mine was expected to be on Lake Taupo. If it doesn't make that one, there is a different carrier a couple of weeks from now it will definitely be on.

Lake Taupo just arrived at Emden. Crossing my fingers hoping there is enough room for my build. Anyone else waiting for that vessel?

?‍? thanks for reminding me I forgot to spec the dashcam pre-wire too, haha. I wonder what percentage of Porsche owners have dashcams. Honestly never had a car worth the hassle before...

? I just gotta explain that to my wife. In theory what you say makes sense. I'm sure once I'm driving it, anything I'm regretting will go out the window!

Months of waiting for a car to arrive can give a guy a lot of time to think. The one thing I'm kicking myself over is not ordering leather interior and going standard! I loathe over it almost every day!!! With all this time to think, what are others regretting not ordering? Or maybe it's the...

I'm definitely keeping my fingers crossed! As far as the SA can tell, nothing shows my car ever needing a new heater. Porsche told him the car is fully expected to be on the ship soon. I would hope Porsche is telling him the right info. If it gets held up again, I'm gonna go bonkers!!!!

It was held somewhere in France based on what Porsche told the SA ?‍♂️ Why they could get it to France but not the port originally is unknown. Maybe there were too many cars backed up at the port.

Well I'll be a monkey's uncle... Finally the car has arrived at the German port. My SA says he expects it to get on a ship by the end of the month, no later than the beginning of May. Fingers crossed, could this mean a delivery by the end of May?!?!? So glad I didn't cancel!!!!! The...

I ordered mine with all season tires. I live in North Carolina in the US, which is the south. It typically doesn't get too cold here. In fact, we didn't get any snow all winter. Usually we get 1 or 2 days of snow each winter, occasionally we get a nasty winter storm with ice. I figure I'll...

Thanks for the detailed response. Yes you are correct, wheels and tires ? I thought about the Porsche ones, but I did not like the only two 20 inch ones in the configurator and I really want to stick to that size and not go 21 inch. For now, I'm heavily leaning towards the Vossen HF-3s...

Haha no that does help! I have a Volcano Grey coming, and I think the darker the wheels the better so it doesn't clash with the grey of the car. So sounds like I need to avoid tinted and go straight gloss black, I think?!?!? ?

Sweet tires! Can someone explain to me the difference they've seen with high gloss black, double tinted and triple tinted? I've tried to see the subtle different in online pictures to no avail...

I've been browsing wheels to replace the standard 19 inch ones that come with my Taycan while I wait ever so patiently for it to arrive. For those of you who have put after market tires on, should I get the new wheels and enjoy them as soon as the car arrives? Or should I wait and get used to...

Yes very lucky! Mine was built around the same time and I'm almost half a year away.

I have both that will be in the car regularly, so thanks for the tip!

In the US you can get 14 way with race tex Interior and ventilated seats. The car I was looking at had that. I think I'm just a leather guy and not race tex. Nothing against it, but after watching a video the dealer made for me, it didn't seem to be worth what I'd be paying to go from...

I have unequivocally decided to just chill the hell out and wait for MY beauty to arrive ? I appreciate everyone's feedback here. Although the dealer's car is fantastic, it's not my personality like the one I'm waiting on!

Ahh hell, the dealer just sent me video of the vehicle they have and ??? its beautiful. Why did I do that to myself!!!

You are correct in that this is my first Porsche! In fact, this will be the first car I actually buy for myself. I've always bought cars for other people. The excitement quickly went to frustration. However maybe I should take a sabbatical from this forum until my car gets "unstuck" ? I...
