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.

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