992 Carrera T Club
Note: some of below status codes are specific to my port in the SF Bay Area (ie, Benicia), so I assume other ports will have their own.
I do not know what CP means beyond a car does doesn't need CT (Custom Tailoring)
CT = Custom Tailoring which is a good indication that you have some special Exclusive Manufacturing items that need to be installed in the special Exclusive Manufacturing Building outside of the manufacturing building. The only think that we know as part of the 991.2 buildout was that door sill and the colored chromo had to be installed in this building. Don't know if that is applicable to 992.1 generation, but it's interesting no doubt.
Take a look at the two videos taken by Shmee that show how the 911 are built in the manufacturing building, and then transferred to the Exclusive Manufacturing building to be outfitted with some of those options if you spec'ed it that way.
Manufacturing Video =
Exclusive Manufacture Video =
Pretty cool to see the insides back then, but these were 6 years ago with 991.2 built 911's.
I do appreciate Shmee giving us look into Exclusive Manufacture building and what happens there. I only assume that I have 19 Exclusive Manufacture items in my spec sheets, so my V280 for CT (Custom Tailoring) status indicates that my "T" will be sitting in the Exclusive Manufacturing being worked on... But you're right, to us and the dealership it's all a black hole beyond the V280 status. I'm looking forward to V290 (CT Done and Vehicle Existing) and V300 (Everything Done).
I think the wonderful guys on YouTube, most of them, do a great job too with new information pertaining to model changes.

He advised me to just use the desktop site. Not too helpful but yesterday the TYD function started working again for me.

Last Saturday (1/27) I got my pics (including the elevator one) and TYD was still showing as Stage 4 (In Production) with the next stage (production completed) set for 1/25. I figured no bid deal and that TYD will adjust itself down shortly as the car is obviously done. Well now TYD is showing a 2/25 completion date...meaning another 3 weeks from now until production complete, even though the car has been physically built. Anyone seen something like that before?
My T did exactly the same. One thing is certain I will never know the real reason as to why it was technically delayed for 19 days as Zuffenhausen production only runs Monday through Friday.

Final road trip log: home. 2.5 weeks and 2,500 miles. The car just clocked 8k miles. This might be my last adventure in this car, and it won't soon be forgotten.

The T has a lot of details that are Agathe Grey. Not just the mirrors. The gloss black option was never really meant for the T. The gloss black is in the interior though. So even Porsche sometimes doesn’t really know what they want. Because matching the outside with the inside seems to be something you would mostly want. But they have extremely limited the interior options (both colorwise as the inlays). They make a specific agathe grey exterior. But they don’t limit that. Porsche logic probably…
I called PCNA to ask why TYD info shows up for me on the web but not in the app. They said wait until after my freeze date to have the app show the info. That doesn’t make sense given the web shows my build and delivery dates. So I think it’s hard for them to give a direct answer because my guess is most folks that work there don’t have visibility into this

None of the national Porsche HQ’s worldwide are much more knowledgeable about our car’s manufacturing progress than we the customers are.
Call me cynical, but having bought numerous Porsches the general attitude is …‘consider yourself lucky that we Porsche are selling you dear average customer one of our precious cars’ 😄
