You should be seeing photos in the next few days, my car production started 4/12 and was complete on 4/16, photos showed up on the 13th, and 15th of April.
So interestingly on 4/13, I received an email from Porsche stating the following: "Your 718 Cayman GT4 is now ready to embark on a journey from Germany to your dealership, and then to your driveway. By land and by sea, roughly 5,000 miles in total. Don't worry, non of them will hit the odometer."
But then "The manufacturing process is complete" on TYD, got moved from 4/12 to 5/9 and all my other dates changed as well. Really odd.
Has anyone experienced this? In the beginning of the ordering process the SA said not to believe anything on TYD.

My car has the same dates posted as yours. Our cars our siblings or something . BTW so cool to see ones car being built. Really is special. We're very lucky.
I guess a lot of this is dealer driven. Myporsche email notifications are on, but I've only gotten one track your dream email the day the car went into production.
Some dates went late, asked the SA in an email, no response, but ... went into production 9 dates later (was April 3, actual April 12).
I am buying the car at list price, maybe they don't spend extra money in these cases! Guess I can live with that!
I only got "paint, assembly, and on the lift" pics, but ... still very exciting, satisfying.
Mine is a GT4, but also GR and Silver wheels!

Yes, I love the Guards Red with the Silver Wheels. I had a 981 Guards Red with Silver wheel Spyder. The car I'm trading in is a 2021 Guards Red Spyder with Black Wheels. I will be buying my 5th new spyder and luckily like you, I've been able to buy at list price.
Looking at the code behind TYD (Steps: Right-click > Inspect > Network > Preview > USC123456 (where "123456" is the commission number)) I can see the V300 status as in the picture above, anyone knows if it will get to V331 (Entry port Emden) on that screen?
Mine still says V300 in the same exact spot but shows "currentLocation":{"type":"position","ident":"PortEmden".
And out on the "main" TYD page, it shows Step 7 has been completed as of 4/12..."Your Porsche has arrived at the German port."
I see the same for mine, but I think this only drives where the car icon is on the map we see on TYD, not the real location of the car. But hey, I would love to be wrong so that the car can get here sooner.
Almost out of here! Car reached the dealership yesterday and picking her up on Friday. 2 1/2 days of wild anticipation. It is killing me! But I will be honest, it's far better than the waiting game of the car entering the Port of San Diego and not hearing anything for 3 weeks.
All in all, departure from Emden to the Port of San Diego then to the dealer and 2 days of PDI is almost going to take about 2 months. This is on top of a 2 month production delay. Allocation for the build was in December, but I got the allocation in September. 8 months of my life spent obsessing over this car. I'd like to think it ends there, but I think it's just the beginning.
Gentian with Chalk interior sounds awesome, and unique
I went with GT Silver, red seat belts to match the brakes but silver stitching (and not red), so if in the future I will want to refresh things up a lil bit, I will be able to paint the calipers and replace the seat belts and get something refreshing
I’m surprised you didn’t do Spyder Classic with that GT Silver exterior! It’s sublime.

So I emailed my SA and he said the timeline I have is correct and I should disregard the email. Oh well, at least this way I can keep the money in the bank longer and get some interest but I'd rather have the car. lol

SIEM CICERO has left the dock. And my car got on the boat, saw the TYD update 40m before the boat left. So has gone from late April to mid June to mid May on the TYD delivery estimate
