Your car likely took a ride to the storage lot in France with my car and ~120 other cars that were built in the first half of February (mine completed production February 2nd). My date was pushed all the way to August 18th and my car doesn't have the aero kit so I suspect your car is done, aero kit and all, and is just caught in shipping hell.
You are correct. I have a good SA who actually dug it up and found out that the car is in V300 (build complete). So did not get stuck in Aerokit hell - but i guess it is stuck in shipping hell. They got a letter from porsche saying 6 of their cars in france, and they are trying to figure out how to ship them to the US asap.

Wow, that info about the letter is interesting; I wonder if other dealers are getting the same letter. My car made it over to Emden after about 6 weeks in France and a day later the date to leave Emden was bumped to late July with arrival to the west coast in late August.

That letter came today according ot him, so ask your SA
Joining the lot here! I've got a C2S Coupe on V200 with a confirmed commission number assigned to me. Nothing fancy other than the Aerokit, which I'm reading might be difficult to get. Are Aerokits on stop sale?
At what stage in the process will I get the nice build pictures I see around here? my.porsche.com says that "the manufacturing process" for my Porsche starts April 23.
Well, at least someone got an Aero car built. Mine was supposed to start on 3/21 but my TYD still shows it in V250 state 3.
Where do you see the codes (V250, V300, etc.)? I can see my build schedule in my.porsche.com, but I no longer see the words "Track Your Dream" in there. Is there a specific website address I need to use?
Managed to find my photos uploaded a few days ago on the website, although I can't find any of the dates that people are posting above, i think its maybe a different portal here in the UK and we can't see the estimate dates. Anyways here's my photos.. things are getting very real!

For me I never confirmed, just a guess based on my TYD and what I was able to find on the vessel tracker, plus my dealer also called to let me know they expect the car soon.

This German General strike will surely cost more then a short delay for a system already backed up.
Is there a way to hack into the port camera system and watch cars getting loaded, that would be fun to see?
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:
1. Go to the TYD website.
2, Press the F12 key
3. Click on the Network tab
4. In the box to filter the requests type "api.porsche" (with no quotes)
5. Refresh the page
6. 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 xhr (NOT the one that says preflight). Select that one.
7. After selecting that one, click on the response tab. You will see a whole bunch of textual (JSON) details about your car.
8 In those details you will see something like this "ident":"IMO_9283875"
9. 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.
That is the ship you're on. Note that anyone can do this and see more data than what the UI shows. You won't get boat data until your car is on a boat obviously.

Unless you have an unresponsive SA, none of this is really necessary (though have to admit, fun and very cool way to dig in). As soon as you are on a ship and your TYD completes step 8, your SA will have the ship info in their system and can send you a vessel finder tracking link.
