Wow. You did it REALLY well. I saw several AvGreen cars in Indianapolis in September. Blown away by the amount of metallic in that paint.

IMO, perfect combination with the platinum wheels, brown roof, black aluminum trim, and crests in the headrests.

Enjoy, and I'll recheck the AvGreen thread in the future--and can't wait to see pictures once you have it.

Ok so for those who lost pictures in TYD. Reach out to your SA. I just emailed mine and he said they have some other people who are experiencing the same. He is going to reach out to Porsche and see if he can get our photos for us that way. So see if your SA can do the same!

My dealer tried to help also but could not find any photos either. Everyone on this side of the Atlantic I spoke to was very helpful and trying to track them down, but I guess they are in a digital dungeon at the factory. I find it strange that the car passed 3 possible camera station and never a snapshot. I do wonder if my car being finished on a Sunday had anything to do with it?
My BGTS is now on the boat and should be at the dealer 2 weeks from today, so I have given up hope of seeing any photos which was rather disappointing. It is done in Aventurine Green so I would have rather fancied a shot of it rolling out of the paint hall, I spec'd the color never having seen it in person other than the paint sample at the dealer, which I really liked, trusting that Porsche has got their act together with the color. It seems to be a rare color in my part of the country.

After reading some of the horror stories guys have had to endure with agonizing allocation issues, production pauses and shipping delays, etc. I shouldn’t be too upset at not having production pics. The process thus far has been pretty smooth. So I consider myself lucky!

2022, not 2023?

ok thanks. I got super lucky and my 23 Spyder was shipped out with PDLS+ and was worried I might get delayed at port with an install of a chip or something.

Got a congratulatory email from Porsche around 9/1 that my GT4 has just completed the production process. Logged in a couple days afterwards and received 2 photos showing the front and side body. The following day I received the completed one. Photos are no longer showing up..

I just received the same update, but it's a little odd:



The progress bar moved to "On Vessel" and the ship name Violet Ace was added, but the date hasn't changed and shows estimated.

Violet Ace arrived Emden yesterday and leaves tonight. So instead of being on vessel on 10/28 I should arrive in Baltimore on 10/29. A couple week improvement!!!

Violet Ace has recently left port:

I think the "date of milestone" is lagging behind the actual milestone being hit for both of us.

So I take it Violet Ace will make landfall in Baltimore on 10/29? I was trying to find that information! Hopefully I get my car within a week or two after that.

Looks like TYD is updating in real time. My On Vessel date just updated to 10/14.

The "Entry Port" milestone should show the destination port. Here is the latest shipping schedule for Volkswagen/Porsche. The dates are estimated arrival dates.
