the dealer has to associate your order with your PorscheID - but yeah - if there is an order "in the system" and they associate it with your PorscheID - you will have sanitized "view" of the production process…

 

How does one check the order status, for example the famous "V200" that I see mentioned here. Is that via trackyourdream, or does only the dealer have access to that status?

 

Ask your dealer to print out a screen shot of this screen. This is a couple of 911s ago for me but I think they still use the same system. V200 means you have a commission number and it is in the system. V70 is just an order demand and means nothing. Once your SA has an allocation and he assigns it to you, this screen is printable almost immediately.

 

The easiest thing to do is contact your dealer for a screenshot or print-out as Subshooter highlighted above.

But you can also hack the TYD web-page by doing a right click on the page, clicking on "Inspect" at the bottom of the menu that was brought up when you right-clicked, and then you will see a bunch of computer files show up on your screen.

There are a number of Header categories up at the top. Click on "Network" and your screen will be populated with various files to preview and the first column is entitled "Status".

But on the left side of the screen, you will also run across several places where your VIN number appears.

In fact, there is a block of 5 lines that all show your VIN number. You can click on each one of these VIN numbers but nothing shows up in the preview screen on the right.
Scrolling down a little further you will come across some more lines of VIN numbers. By clicking on one of the single VIN number lines, you will see the following (attached below) show up in your preview screen.

This not only shows the current "status" but also the latest "milestone" that was completed on your car's journey. Each line is highlighted at the end with a "false" or "true" statement.
"True" means that the milestone has indeed been completed.

As can be seen below, my car is at the Port of Emden.
Line #11, Position 20, Status V300

 

By clicking on another line of of your VIN number, the preview screen on the right-hand side will show a series of 7 coordinates with the same "true" and "false" designations.

You can copy these coordinates and stick them in the search function of Google Maps and locate where your vehicle is.
This is what Google Maps shows for my latest coordinates (second attachment below)

 

That is cool. Hopefully they roll out TYD for Cayennes and other lines.

 

I can tell you TYD is active for Taycans also.

 

Just received all the pertinent details for my RS. Locks on 1/19/2023. Build complete on 2/10/2023 and Dealer Inventory on 3/17/2023. Guess its time to list my 991 RS for sale!

I was granted a Tribute to RS allocation and while probably stupid to question it, was really in-love with white w/ red wheels & decals etc. Anyone else get a tribute allocation and questioning whether to take it? Or should we just forget i ever asked such a silly question....

 

Congrats. Curious if you have particular pull or are 918 (assume not). I'd take it but not unless you really like the look. Some of it is stupid like the watch but I really like the color way. Trade you my non heritage slot for yours... lol

 

I also was offered the tribute allocation but was able to choose to spec it to my liking. I felt the same with the ice grey and pyro or indigo accents that really set the car off!

 

I'd not be trusting that freeze date. I'll bet they lock it before then.

 

All set also with allocation and Comm #. TYD active as well. No way I believe these "freeze points" as they are usually way earlier. Spec pics below assuming I can't secure the "Tribute" version.

current status - V200
build freeze date - 02/24/2023
start production - 03/10/2023
production complete - 03/17/2023
arrival to dealer - 04/14/2023

 

Anyone happen to know at which milestone the car gets its VIN?? I think my dream is at V200 but looking at the inspection content for the TYD there doesn't appear to be a VIN number shown and so far as I can see none of the other elements include the handy milestone list...perhaps I missed it.

 

you should be able to find it once you hit "Scheduled for Production" or V250.

 

Got the call today but at 120k over. Sigh I had to turn it down. Not going to lie, I’m so disheartened. Can’t bank on relationships anymore.
