Here is the tracking sheet from the dealer. Apparently it has been sitting in a parking lot in Rhode Island since the end of July!

Thanks for shedding some “light” on this haha

Yes I checked the option codes and we are talking about the same option. In USA it’s recently changed to “Exclusive Design Taillights” and it’s available in black or blue.

Appearance-wise, it’s so similar to the standard option that it leads me to believe the premium is solely for the programmable LED.

But the description says the function is identical to standard taillights, so that means it’s a $1k upgrade for some flashing lights when I lock and unlock the car? How programmable are these lights exactly…

My freeze date is also fast approaching and I’m leaning towards not optioning this given your findings, how about you? Thanks!

Just noted that Exclusive Design Taillights (US configurator) is CODE 8VQ and the accents look blue; the LED Taillights incl. Tinted Light Strip (CAN configurator) is CODE 8VZ. In the US configurator, CODE 8VQ is Light Strip with "PORSCHE" Logo in Black.

woah...they're still changing the configurator...? am I crazy or was the LED-Matrix Design Headlights in Black incl. Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS+) not an option for any model other than the turbo before?
i'm lookin at a 4S, and iirc, it was only regular, Matrix, Matrix black or Matrix blue... Now i see the PDLS applied to the colors
this is also messed up as they both say "black" but the top one is blue...

You’re not crazy. I had to change my build again for the SA. At least I have a functional argument for my blue lights now.

Both options now say Black but one shows a blue illustration so i assume the description is wrong.

The order I placed ~6 weeks ago just shows "LED-Matrix Design Headlights in Black", but it is code 8IV, which is the same code the build page shows now for the "LED-Matrix Design Headlights in Black incl. Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS+)". So I think they just changed the description, not the functionality.

Our Turbo was scheduled to be delivered today but shipping from the port (where it has been sitting since July) got pushed to mid next week. There are still 2 do not deliver to customers blocks from PCNA in the system for Turbos.

The dealership (Boston area) has received 2 4's in the last 2 days and applied software updates. 1 is their demonstrator and the other has been cleared by Porsche to be delivered to the buyer.

I got a chance to take out the 4 demonstrator for a test drive and it handles beautifully - like a Porsche! - but lacked the neck jarring pop of power from a good push on the pedal I seek but they insured me that will be no problem with the Turbo.

It will be our first Porsche, i.e., special to us and since the back end other than its blue “Exclusive Lighting“ does not identify it as such, we are going with that option.

 

[byebye]

That is exactly why I didn’t choose it: too Porsche!
But I wish I‘d dared…

 

[Fun TC Driving]

I understand. Nice we all have lots of choices.

I just stopped by my dealer to finalize our 4S order before it locks this month. Here's what we ended up with

https://configurator.porsche.com/porsche-code/PSYSZY36

Some changes from the original plan.

The 'interior trim' in wood really didn't do it for us, so we switched to aluminum. This also caused us to change the door sills from black to regular aluminum. Interestingly, the 'illumination' option for the sills is currently 'Stopped' - for all types, so we skipped it.

We selected the default side blades, and black gloss window trim. The side blade texture does not show well in the configurator, but we like it.

Our sales associate convinced us that the acoustic glass has durability and cell-phone related problems, so we removed that (he didn't mention the delivery delays possible). The demo car we drove was plenty quiet without it.

We tried the massage 14 way seats in a demo car, and decided to go with that option vs the 18 way sport seats.

Upgraded to the GT wheel in leather too, hey, it's a Porsche!

Our car is due to lock in mid-end October, get built November 15-20, and ship out for delivery in mid January.

We're on our third Ambassador in 12 months, and this one is certainly more on the ball than the previous 2 about getting this locked in and providing advice on what to get and what to skip, and detailing exactly what's going to happen and when. Our current build saves $1000 over the original one we created too

Thanks for your review!

What does this mean? I still see illuminated door sills in the configurator and this is the first I’ve heard of them being a constrained option.

Indeed, this was a surprise to us all! 'Stopped' in their system is that the parts are not available. The configurator doesn't show the real time availability of these items, so it's not until you actually go to the Porsche internal ordering system do you get the notification.
