I don't think I've seen any photos the same as this? All others seem to be from a different stage and angle so maybe something new?
This is a common view. Some receive all 4 production shots. Others just one.
I received this one, "Paint Shop" and the next one, "Body Work", but not the other 2.
I actually received 5 shots in my TTS last year. This years TTS only 3. For GT3RS, nothing so far.
Of course, I assumed that much (V260).
I'm only trying to gauge how many days into production or completion guys are seeing one or more photos.
My 2023 TTS photos showed up 1-2 days apart during production followed by an image while in Emden. 2024 TTS pictures (all 3) showed up in transit to Emden. GT3RS has been in production for 2 weeks in V260 and no pictures yet.
Based on numerous conversations with PCNA and PAG, my understanding is that these cameras are DSLRs with SD cards. There is a person that periodically empties them to a share folder and then there is a batch job that reads from the shared folder and uploads them for iphone app and website to see. Obviously this process is fairly manual and can have failures due to person being sick, sd card issue, shared folder issue, batch job fails, etc and not always things are backed up. This is the reason for why sometimes pictures dont show up, sometimes 1 shows up vs 5, etc.

Very interesting....thanks.
Last year i received 3 pics within 5-days of start of production for my 4RS.

Nope. Three total. Always been a little skeptical about the first pic above because it looks more metallic Viola to me, but I guess it's just the lighting.
Here are the other two, which are clearly Ultraviolet:
