Porsche production stopping - March.

What to expect from MY23 is not so much:
- Ramping up MY22 is a disaster (chip, sink, war, halt) MY23 will come on the neck of not so many sold MY22 cars.
- MY24 will be a dot 2 (facelift) model, so Porsche will keep all the "big things" for the .2 model to be able to show up as much as possible with this midlife refresh.

The roof has been available for several weeks in the configurator for the GTS sedan only. Don’t know if it available on more models now.

Not yet, need to wait 4-6 weeks (EU) for other models per my info. Added with the production halt time in general.

My thinking is the assumed 24 MY "dot" might get pushed a year.

Yes, started to thinking similarly, taking the recent circumstances.

So I see you own a McLaren 600LT. Thats good, when the Taycan arrives you'll be able to use the Macca as a daily runaround and keep the Taycan for special occasions

Ah, yes, I see that it's now on the USA configurator for GTS sedan, but not for GTS Sport Turismo. It looks like the GTS sedan comes standard without a panoramic glass roof, and the charge here is USD $1490 for the glass alone, and $4760 with the pano roof plus electrochromic glass -- so that's $3270 extra for the electrochromic glass. That hefty price tag surprises me, because you can get electrochromic glass now in a Toyota Venza (and is apparently supposed to become available across the entire Toyota line-up), as a $1400 option, so it can't be that expensive to install (yes, I know all about Porsche's big mark-ups on options, as a long-time Porsche owner, but this seems more Ferrari-like mark-up than Porsche-like).

My wife’s Mazda 3 has an technology pack including ACC, HUD, Led lights, Bose surround, lane change, lane keep assist easy acces for 1.500 euro. I payed that on my Taycan for the HUD only. But the electro chrome option is really expensive indeed. It made me reconsider the need. And I didn’t want to wait.

So? Did production restart “at the end of the week” as announced? I don’t see any announcements, although production restarting is not as newsworthy as production halting ?
