I've been on the Spyder list for an allocation near two years now and finally got an e-mail back in January letting me know that number two had declined for a latter allocation which gave me the second one. My car was to be built in June with a July
31 delivery date. Fast forward to two weeks ago, I was ask to swap allocations with number one to which I promptly agreed. Problem was, the change/freeze date had pasted two days prior. My sales agent said that as long as the system didn't kick
out the changes, I was good to go. So, apprehensively, I have waited until today to request a copy of the order status sheet which confirms the build is to take place on 03/20, arrives Port Emden on 4/17, and enters Port Jacksport USA on 05/08, then
arrives at my dealership 05/15 which is the exact same dates as the number one customer was assigned. Our builds are quite different which is all the more impressive. It's beginning to get real.
What actual date did your order lock? My car has the same build date and entry into Emden, but the last time I asked my SA he said it wasn't locked yet!? Something seems wrong...
I just found out that the “Track Your Dream” website doesn’t work for Canada, so I’m a little bummed I have to keep calling my SA for updates and can’t just click refresh every 10 minutes at work
The good news is that my SA indicated my order went V220 today.
Since this will be my first Porsche, for those of you who’ve done this before, once the allocation goes to V220 roughly how long until production is completed?

Too bad about the Track your Dream website... that would make thing a lot easier!
That is tough to guess at, you need the screen shot of the vehicle management which has the dates, V260 is going into production, V270 is complete, usually about a week later.
Your fixed date sounds about right, wished that I knew why mine doesn't show up as fixed given the V260 date is the same as yours...
When did you check with your SA last? My fixed date was supposed to be sometime during the last week of February, however it finally went V250 on March 4th with a build start date of March 20 like everyone else. Seems like they assigned a March 20th start for the first wave of allocations across the board. My understanding is that it should take a week from start to finish, however my build complete date isn't until April 10th/3 weeks long. Feels like the official V260 and V270 dates will be in flux.

Not sure what V220 status is, as my build sheet goes from V200 to V250 and doesn't have V220 as a step. I think your best indicator will be V250 or when the build locks, as it seems like it will be 2-3 weeks out before the build starts, assuming the planned dates are correct.

Last Friday (Mar 6) I asked, he said no change, he said wait until this Friday...
Here is my schedule as of early last week for both my current orders (Spyder/Macan). I noticed that loading at Emden is general 3 weeks and the same at Benicia for unloading with 2 weeks. Hopefully that is padded. Additionally it sucks being on the West Coast as we have the additional journey through the Panama Canal.

So is this information from a Porsche Source, and what do you provide to the search, commission number?
You have the canal, we have a cross country trip by train... additionally I have a car transporter then another boat trip to the island I live on.
