That Carmine red does look amazing. Had a small wobble and considered changing to guards red, but glad I held out

Is there a way of keeping the drivers seat in the same position when I switch the car off? I just want to get in and drive without having to press the memory 1 button on the door and have the seat take 30 seconds to go back to where it was.

That's why I went for the free 4-way seats!

Sorry I know that's not helpful

Set the seat position to the key.

Build slot was confirmed today for November (CGTS). I ordered mid Jan and was third in the queue about a month ago.

I thought I had already done that.

All the comfort entry does is move the seat back a bit. It doesn't alter any of the seat settings.

Ignition on.
Press the 'set' button the door.
Press the drivers key button within 10 seconds.

The settings of that key against the seat will be remembered each time its used. If that doesn't seem to work, use the same process but use the set button, then memory button 1 or 2. To retrieve if needed just press and hold 1 or 2. Or with ignition off and drivers door open, briefly press 1 or 2 and the settings will be applied.

Also, get the 'good to know' Porsche app. HTH.

Right...

So today I get an email from Porsche.



The first thing I do is try and contact the sales executive I've been dealing with at the OPC. Long story short, couldn't get hold of him and left wondering what does this mean?

I haven't finalised my build so a bit confused by what this means? I thought once you got a build slot you finalised your build at the OPC?

Total newbie so any guidance greatly appreciated!

Cheers T1b.

It just means that Porsche has received the vehicle order demand from the OPC. You don't have an allocation yet but Porsche have put you in the queue for one, a pending allocation if you like.

You'll probably get your Porsche Experience Centre invite next. Hopefully an allocation is not too far off but it looks like quite a few have come through in the last couple of weeks so I suspect you'll need to wait a few months.

Still, more configurator tinkering time!

Can people name the dealer they have placed orders with. Trying to work out lead times/allocations form individual dealers.

I’m looking to order in July, but don’t want the car until 2024 (for a variety of reasons - primarily saving the pennies).

Thanks in advance

Great news!

Build slots seem to be coming through in fairly large numbers at the moment. I notice that the slots stretch quite a bit into the future though, I only had about three weeks to lock my spec when my allocation came through with a build start within eight weeks.

I think caymans are coming through. Boxster still seem quite scarce. My slot is for October build for a boxster and will only be the second they have had through this year

I would go to your local dealer. Put a deposit down and say you want a car for 2024. Then your name is on the list. If the slot comes sooner you can always let someone else in front of you. What you don’t want is wait to get an order in the suddenly you can’t get one. I think the new boxster comes out in 2024
