Don’t expect real time information; it’s not Amazon.
Well the dates may only update on Fridays, but since yesterday, my TYD status has gone from "Scheduled for Production" to "Ready for Transport" (3 days ahead of schedule, woot - although I imagine that won't impact the actual ship date or the rest of the schedule).

One thing that I wanted to point out was the inconsistency in the dates on the V Code screen shots from the dealer vs the dates/stages on MyPorscheEssentials App vs dates/stages on TYD

Here is the last VCode screen shot I received from my SA on 9/23. Vehicle lock on 10/22 and into production on 11/5



My Porsche Essentials shows the second stage as the vehicle is scheduled for production as of 9/16 and the order was created on 9/9





Once you enter TYD, the order shows created on 9/22 and it is currently in that stage 1. Change freeze point is 10/6 as of today. It was 10/7 yesterday. Still different from the VCode screenshot from the SA of 10/22. It is showing scheduled for production on TYD as 10/22 which is different than the current stage of My Porsche Essentials showing scheduled for production as of 9/16.











So dates are all over the place and don't seem to be synched up together at all. I appreciate Porsche giving us more information vs being completely in the dark but there is still some guessing going on here and part of it may be caused by the current conditions of the production challenges.

Anyone else seeing similar discrepancies?

Yeah…the TYD app is messed up. It shows my expected date, to get on the shipping vessel, as 10/1/2022 but on the same screen it shows that the vessel had left the port of Emden six days ago. Also, it shows the expected dates to enter the port of San Diego, ship the car to Los Angeles and for car to be at my dealership all on 10/29/2022 - really? The TYD app creates more uncertainty than necessary. I called Porsche of North America. Their time data is no better. 😵‍💫

At least you're registered and have access to the TYD site... According to the latest e-mail forwarded from my dealer, my car is V260, but I have no VIN nor access into TYD, nor has Porsche contacted me to provide any type of update. The fun gets passed around in different ways, or so it would appear....

Rumor has it that you have to spend over $200,000 to have access to the exclusive Porsche club. 😉 I guess I just got lucky, so far. I don’t think I received my VIN until production was complete. Then I called Porsche of North America and they were able to send me the TYD (the Dream may seem more like a nightmare) invitation the next day. Once we both get our cars we will forget about the silly shenanigans. Best of luck!

Is there a “Track Your Replacement Engine” app?

Aaaaaaand now TYD is showing my car as en-route to the port in Emden and is now showing that it'll be here a week earlier than originally planned. (November 19th)

Anybody know how to download the VW ship schedule for next month?

Search for the “next stop Emden” thread, there might be links in there to the VW shipping schedule - exciting!

Did you try calling Porsche directly to open a ticket? Make sure you're registered with My Porsche first.

congratulations to those who are getting their cars!
For me, the app is all over the place. Yesterday, it said my order was completed in September. Today it says October. In reality, the order was in July. I've gone from 6 days to fixed, to 3, and back to 6. My estimated delivery date has gone from Thanksgiving to New Year's Eve, and I have a hard time believing that's a firm estimate. Frustrating First World Problem!

I don't know about the 200K club issue for getting the app. What I can say is that when I called Porsche, they did ask if I had any other Porsches. At the time, I just thought the young lady was making conversation and I thought nothing of it. But on reflection, it was an out of the blue question asked prior to her setting me up with the app.
