I’ve been curious as well as to how many of the 297 were customer ordered vs dealer ordered.
There's a Watkins Glen one here in California

I've got a Watkins Glen Edition. Ordered it through Sewell. I believe Sewell got 5 of the WG cars, not sure how many of them were customer ordered.
Aaah, will have to check them out as I'm in Houston as well. Watkin Glen was my original choice because I had the same colored CT4-BW and CT5-BW (that I didn't buy) but went with Road Atlanta because even though I'm not a white (or similar color) I like the red interior, which makes this edition even more exclusive than others.
Did your car come with the blue wheel center caps and black lugs & locks?
Yes it did. Here's a pic from VIR two weeks ago, I think this car looks amazing. I replaced the locking lug nuts with the regular ones for the track, so they aren't in the pic.
Why are you planning to cancel?
I think that we're pushed back about as far as we can be in the 2023 production schedule. They're running out of production time.
My TPW was 1/23 and got pushed back several times but the car was finally built in early/mid April. As for the decision to cancel, I suppose my priorities have changed. Ultimately, it is a financial decision so I can put myself in the best position to be able to buy the the car that I really want. I've been daily driving EVs for the past 5 years or so but I've always had a "real" car as the second/weekend car. My most recent was a 991.1 turbo S which I sold last April after 3 1/2 years of ownership. I sold it just in time while the market was hot. I was hoping to get into a GT3 manual within a year but soon realized that was not going to happen so I ordered the CT4 BW. I daily drive an EV and also have an M2 competition which I was going to trade in but with the changing car market, it may be too much of a risk to go through with the purchase, keep the car for a couple of years and get back into a Porsche. I may be over thinking it but I am happy with the M2 for now and it has grown on me.
The dealers in my area all have their Watkins Glen Editions and the Sebring Editions are in-transit.
Are they all sold orders or they ordered them to resell?
The Watkins Glen models (Blue) are all on the lot for sale and probably marked up $5k or so. They will sit there for a while until the 2024s roll in and the dealers gets tired of looking at them. Not sure on the Sebring models. At $90k+ I would expect them to sit on the lots for a while as well. There isn't a big demand or rush for 4BWs in general around my area. In fact, I have only seen one other one of the road in the past year or so in my area. The local Cadillac dealers used to have 1 or 2 4BWs on the lot marked up, now each dealer has between 12-15 of them in stock and they are being discounted $2-$3k. Corvettes, Escalades, Teslas and pickups are all over the place though.Are they all sold orders or they ordered them to resell?
On other note, I've been flip-flopping about keeping my TE order as I just got TRX. So I was just comparing the specs to building a new one online and the total came out to $84,975, which still does not include exclusive Adrenaline Red interior, CF back seats and other less significant goodies like shifter medallion, sill plates and other serialized plate. So for $86 and change that TE is going to cost me, I think it is well worth it, except for the fact that it is going to be MY 23 instead of 24
Any updated on yours? Mine just moved to 3400 status with TPW of 5/29.
Per the "Blackwing Concierge", mine is the same as yours, 3400 with a 05/29 TPW. Unfortunately, Cadillac of South San Francisco has been terrible about keeping me up to date. I thank you for posting your statuses as they always seem to be in accord with mine.
