Think it’s been posted here and 992 Emden thread.
Once TYD indicates it’s on a ship, you can do the hack.
I’ll look around for the link

Finding the ship the car is on (once it has shipped):
It is possible to identify what boat you're on with a bit of web browser knowledge. Assuming you're in chrome on a PC, do this:
- Go to the TYD website.
- Press the F12 key
- Click on the Network tab
- In the box to filter the requests type "api.porsche" (with no quotes)
- Refresh the page
- You should see a number of requests in the list but you want the one that has the name "USMGXXXXX" where XXXXX is your commission number and the type is hr (NOT the one that says preflight). Select that one.
- After selecting that one, click on the response tab. You will see a whole bunch of textual (JSON) details about your car.
- In those details you will see something like this:” ident":"|MO_9283875"
- In a new browser tab, enter the url "https://www.vesselfinder.com/vessels/details/9283875". But replace the numbers (only the numbers) with the numbers in your data.

Mine has been in production and the date moved, likely due to the summer break referenced above. New scheduled date for completion was 5 days ago and no update.
I’m patient so it’s fine. It’ll get here when it gets here, but I can’t downplay my excitement for that moment. Totally psyched!

You can also just get the VW shipping schedule from PWL and can easily anticipate which ship your car might be scheduled for.
Wolfsburg was the only ship coming into Emden and leaving for Houston, and sure enough my TYD updated when Wolfsburg came and left Germany.
Should be at the Houston port by late this week!

Had a lengthy discussion about this with my dealer when my build was about to freeze. They assured me (and confirmed with internal contacts at Porsche) that US cars do not have headlight washers regardless of the headlight type.
I've watched several other 4RS come in and have yet to see a washer on any of them. Suppose we'll both see when our cars get here.

When I said mine are black on a white car, I was referring to the photos I printed with my build sheet, so I don’t know on the actual car.
We shall see!
