This might help you understand?
Porsche has temporarily closed order books for its entire range as it updates and retests each model to the new Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP) standards, which come into force in September.
A spokesman told Autocar that Porsche has increased its existing stock of cars to reduce the order bottleneck this causes, but buyers wanting to spec a completely custom model will have to wait until the WLTP-approved models reach market.
“Due to the time this test procedure takes, some models might not be ready for 1 September,” the spokesman said. “But we have grown the stocks of each car in the same way we would if a new model year were to be introduced so as to minimise the impact.”
As you still cant factory order dealers were told to increase stock before shut down.
Wouldnt get a factory ordered 718 until next year

Wow - losing £16,000 for 4000 miles (roughly £1,200 per tank of fuel!)
Did you hate the 718 so much that you had to get rid of it?
Nope, I thoroughly enjoyed the 718CS. Thought it was a brilliant and fun car.Did you hate the 718 so much that you had to get rid of it?
Reason for early trade-in was I hadn't realised prior to purchase how much I actually needed four seats. My other half doesn't drive, so when we have friends or family coming to visit, we can't go out anywhere without taxis or public transport. Became too much of an inconvenience.
Besides, it's PCP, so I didn't lose anything like the 16k drop in value.

If a driveway ornament, have you considered taking it on some road trips to make use of it... and where you’ll truly appreciate the dynamics?
I don’t do huge miles, but I went up to Scotland and did the old military pass. It was so good I’m now planning doing parts of the nc500. Negates the massive depression hit you’ll potentially take too 😀
