Latest update: My car is currently shown as being at the dealer in Dallas October 11. My SA is out of town, that date was sent to me by one of his associates. Did not get a screen shot.

Looks like A LOT of us have the same darn freeze date of 6/17 (myself included). Just logged in, and it says ' 03 / 11 The manufacturing process of your Porsche is starting soon'. It was supposed to start July 01, but the update salesman sent me said in body shop on 7/17. So neither was true. Oh well. That tracking is absolute crap. The PSVMS had a lot more dates, but if it's unreliable (like it looks it is), I'm not going to bother with that crap anymore. I assume my car should be rolling at the same pace as yours, so will just keep reading what you guys report. I know the earliest it'd show is late Sep, so no sense in bothering with this anytime soon.

Article about earnings being cut. Reason I found it noteworthy is it spoke about shortages and possible delays.

Hey, it took a lot of 'googling' for me to catch up, so I feel your pain. Ha ha. If you don't find one, just post it, and we'd help you out.

Well i did do a quick google and i'm **pretty sure** PSVMS does not mean anything related to (1) a woman's "cycle" (2) pressure valves, ...

i think the acronym is actually PVMS because if you google that with Porsche in front of it, theres a relation. However theres still no explanation to what it stands for however it seems like thats the term for Porsche's ordering system. The only breakdown which makes sense to me is Porsche Vehicle Management System. But i could be wrong.

Yep, that's the one. Unfortunately, we cannot see that ourselves. But it really doesn't matter to me. The windows (sometimes 4 freaking months) are absolutely ludicrous, so no help at all. The only useful info is dates of stages already finished.

yeah im not sure what changed but we never had ETA windows. And in the past the ETA dates that were shown were generally pretty accurate plus or minus a few days.

The PSVMS date ranges showed up in April, TYD little later.

There is still valid info there, bias on time to the front end of those ranges

We have similar dates; my build went into the body shop on 7/16, with 8/26 as completion date.
What is your completion date?
