Yikes, I hope this doesn’t delay production of my 4S which was scheduled this month.
Looks great. I had not heard of the constraint on the sill and I have it on my build. I will have to inquire. It is odd that some people are notified and others not. I did my final build today for a freeze date of Oct 13 and delivery Dec 17th. I am not expecting the dates will hold so that way I won't be disappointed. Also a 4S. It's funny looking back this looks nothing like my very first build months ago. I had a 4 and they let me switch with the S cam out. I went to see a Slate Grey Neo 911 that had just arrived and changed from the Ice Grey. Color is tough. Lots of good combinations. Thanks to everyone on this forum that helped inform my decisionI 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
Today, we couldn't order any illuminated sills. That was the only thing on our order we needed to change due to supply constraints.My understanding (from my SA) is that only the carbon fiber illuminated sills are constrained.
Same with my 4S order I finalized this weekend. Illuminated door sills and the thermal and noise insulated glass were unavailable.Today, we couldn't order any illuminated sills. That was the only thing on our order we needed to change due to supply constraints.
The PDLS+ designation went on the description and then came back off a couple weeks ago. I was assured by my SA that the two options were purely cosmetic. I wasn’t totally confident that was correct so I just kept the option ticked (assume I will like the look of it better anyhow).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.
