Congrats mate!

I know how painful it is. Been waiting since the first day for orders, and have about 2-3 weeks left. Mine finishes production tomorrow.

What other options? What other babies you had?

Nice build!

But are you sure about the Powersteering plus? It takes away some feeling below 50mph/80kmh.
The Turbo S I drove didn't have it and I surely didn't miss it. (For me personally, it's a waste of money).
I did other testdrives in C4S and C2S, with and without PSP and it feels very artificial IMO.
To each their own of course

Suzy,
This is a launch car (code 762), and was configured, ordered, and built before I even decided to buy it. But, it is configured the exact way I would have ordered it, including the PSP, with the exception of a couple extra options I would not have ordered if I had configured the car myself (air vent slats painted, model name on storage compartment door, model designation on doors in black). None of these were a deal breaker for me, and I got an unexpected discount on the car, which was more than the cost of the options anyways.

The painted slats are very attractive, and the side air vents and center air vents, including control panel trim, are covered in interior color leather with this option. The Turbo S logo on the storage compartment door is attractive, something I might have added later, and the vinyl model designation on the doors can be removed in 5 minutes with a hair dryer if I don't like them. I would have spec'd every other option it has, but would not have spec'd the three options I listed, but don't find any of them objectionable at all. The model designation on the doors is a waste, IMO, at $300, but not a big deal. And I get to take delivery in a month or less!!!!!

Parl assist/rear camera

Delivery scheduled for Feb (hopefully not in a snow storm!!)

I think I will have them add clear bra film for chip protection----any comments pro/con on this??

For me the paint protection is a must!
First thing I do after receiving the car…front bumper, sills, hood, mirrors and headlights.
I use Pant protection from XPEL www.xpel.com

Awesome specs!

Just got my VIN today, and found out the car is at the port awaiting shipment.

So, 2-3 weeks.
