TYD was a little off for my transport. I was on the Wolfsburg but I got the TYD update that I left port while marine traffic still had the Wolfsburg docked. The position on TYD did not match the marine traffic map but I was definitely on that ship. Hoping mine arrives at the dealer today. Started production April 18th. delay in production but has been on a normal schedule once it completed production.
I had a roughly 3-month production delay, and according to my SA who got the information from the regional rep, it was because of some CF parts in the weissach package. My car is weissach, fal, mag wheels, striped hood, and sofas.

Just got news my car left port, which I assume means its on the Supreme Ace. Now, it just needs to dodge hurricanes...
The info in the TYD metadata is inconsistent, though. The lat/lon is middle of the channel, but the boat ID says Supreme Ace, which still shows moored. I guess the SFL Conductor left recently, also. Pick a boat...any boat...
Ignore the lat/long data. I think TYD just takes the projected time of the ship's journey, divides it up into daily segments, and plots your car along that path accordingly. Case in point: My car is on a boat rounding the tip of South America, but TYD shows it heading towards the Caribbean.
Once you use the TYD hack to determine what boat you're on, just track that boat manually and ignore TYD altogether.
Production started 3/7 and was schedule to be done early April. Didn't get any updates until mid-april saying that end of production has been delayed to 7/12. Got an update 6/28 saying production complete and another update 7/2 saying heading to port. Hope this helps.
My Spyder RS got delivered with a GT4RS front lip, dealer checked and supposedly a factory error that will be replaced under warranty. Looks really good with it, if it wasn't for the "GT4RS" lettering on it, I probably wouldn't have noticed it. I assume the mounting points are interchangeable?
what’s even more surprising is that the dealer installed this with the 4RS lettering during PDI, knowing it’s a Spyder.

same production start date and car suppose to be completed today. Not holding my breath
Interested to hear what options may be causing the delay? Does yours have WP, standard wheels, buckets, front axle lift, pts etc?
yes WP, standard wheels, buckets front axle lift no PTS started production middle april still waiting to finish scheduled for 7/19
I dont know why they bother starting production if they dont have the parts to finish

Agreed. Just-in-time production system….or just-late? 😔
Speaking of the top I wish there was a better solution regarding the wire that maintains tension on the top. It crushes the rubber seal on the rear hatch when on since the wire gets wedged between the roll hoops and rear clamshell? Or PPF the whole thing and make sure the edges are wrapped instead of cut.
Maybe wrap a small sliver of PPF on that edge of the clamshell?

It's ppf'd over there. Just saying I wish Porsche had a better solution for the tension wire. Maybe like a hard piece of rubber for that area or something.
The Germans on pff.de are saying Porsche got EU cyber security regulation exemption yesterday for 4RS and SRS to continue production until 06/30/2026. No idea what that means for NA but maybe the rumored end of production for all 718 October this year is fake news.

RS models continuing for EU has been discussed, yes some sort of small production waiver/exemption.
Government exemption certificate date not related to 718 sunset in Oct 2025. That was proprietary information leaked -- people were fired because of it.
