I just ordered a car with a 4/2 freeze date. Checked this am and it now says freeze date was March 22nd. And production has moved up the same amount of days....
I think TYD is fun with all its inaccuracies. The alternative is a verbal delivery date and then wait.
it gives a window into the operations.

It's just a Cayenne. Lock date of 4/2 delivery of 6/15. This morning I checked and it now says Freeze date of 3/21 and manufacturing starting 4/8 instead of 4/18(ish).
My GT3 also progressed faster. It felt kind of bad as others were having cars held at the port for MANY months and mine was at Emden for a few days.
I actually didn't want my GT3 early due to the weather in the Northeast and on the Cayenne don't really care that much when I get it - it was sort of an impulse buy b/c the local LandRover dealer pissed me off....I think Porsche delivers on an algorithm inversely related to how much you need or want the car.
In reality though I tend to hate stuff like ambient lighting, HuD, and innodrive so maybe that helps.
