I know that feature went away during the parts shortage and still is not back - very strange.
Hey, weight savings! 😂

That's about the only reason I am tolerating the lack of a power steering column. I also skipped the power folding mirrors.
It just seems like more gubbins that can randomly fail.

Is anyone getting production pictures of their GTS 4.0 these days?

Production of my car finished November 10th and it is currently on a ship headed to Galveston.

The only reason I care about the pictures is I want to know what tires are on my car. I desperately want Michelins (and not the godawful Pirellis).

There is a sticky in the 718 Forum about extracting photos…give it a read.

Since these cars are getting built as Osnabruck be interesting to hear if you still get TYD photos

Whether or not production photos are provided for cars built in Osnabruck is what I'm trying to determine. Was hoping someone here would chime in as to whether they have received production photos of an Osnabruck produced car in 2023.

I've been trying the photo extraction trick for almost three weeks now!

Tried Firefox, Edge, and Chrome. Confirmed none of those show the "orders?include-full-content=false" option. All I have is "order-summaries". Expanding that gives me commission number, current milestone, vin, etc. The only images there are the generic generated external and internal camera shots.

I'm thinking Osnabruck does not currently support production pics.

Mine was produced Nov 7 and there are no pictures. I don't believe its currently supported at Osnabruck. I did go into the web data and its just not there. I paid $12.99 to VinAnalytics to get a detailed VIN report and it included DOT tire codes. You can then decode this to find the manufacturer/plant where the tires were produced.

For what its worth - my BGTS 4.0 has Michelins, and most I have seen delivered recently do as well so I think your chances are pretty high..

Exactly... my assumption as well

I did the same thing as @Stdenis25 for my car (finished 9/18) and it looks like I also got Michelins. Will confirm when I pick it up at PECLA on Dec. 21

Mine finished production Nov 24th. I'm hoping I get the new logo at least! Porsche said "end of the year" so I feel like that date is end of the year in general. Isn't the hood crest the last thing they put on?
