I am vin# 6093 so it is now in production started on 5/2 and ends on 5/10. How is it that some of you all are getting more detailed info on your cars. I think I remember being a way that we can go behind the closed doors to speak and get more info on our cars. Anyone have a link to that post?

Interesting. Last montage vid has almost 400 views on utube now. Like 100 views per day. Maybe potential T buyers looking for real life examples? Ha, didn’t realize I was providing community service and Porsha should pay me for helping them sell more Ts.

RList T crew….ready for the next one? Seeing cleaner uploads. Don’t need to upload a lot…just few clean ones. I’m waiting for @AdamIsAdam to post a few epic pics with clean backdrop….when ready. Don’t let @tourenwagen outdo u! I could make posters out of his few shots!

What are you looking for? You can use the TYD hack to get some more info, but the pictures automatically post to TYD once they get pushed by the factory. Here’s the TYD hack. Note that since TYD was updated all the info is under the USM<your commission number> file

Just hit stage 5 two days early! Only received three out of four pictures though. I’m missing the paint picture. Lost the tire lottery too.

I hope so too… the SE tells me that shipping records are captured by some poor soul after the fact!

bump...

To those with PPF experience on the 992, had these questions:
  • can rear bumper edges be wrapped easily? was told popping the lights is no longer easy;
  • door sill/ jamb coverage possible on the plotter with one piece from rear quarter?
  • anyone ever double layer on a lighter color paint, are the optics that bad?
  • are skirts being loosened to hide the lower edge?

Im on a boat! Just received the update that my car has left the port. How do I find out which boat I am on so I can track?

After 9 weeks of delay at the storage facility in France, I'm now on the Supreme Ace! Scheduled to arrive in Denver end of this month. Can't wait to join those of you who have already taken delivery, and start getting some T-Time under my belt!

6050, Emden on 5/10, water on 5/11, Houston on 6/3, and CO Springs on 6/8

I know these are optimistic at best and rough estimates but I did have manufacturing complete early and I received all 4 pics on a really timely basis. Not sure if anyone has posted this but I found it interesting to look at the time stamps in the photo metadata. After it finished paint, it went through the entire production line in one day - Tuesday. Time stamps on my pics are:

Paint - 5/2, 5:50 am
Body - 5/2, 12:02 pm
Assembly - 5/2, 4:07 pm
Complete - 5/2, 5:15 pm

If it isn't obvious, I'm a data, process, tech, etc guy. I'm totally excited to get my car. But at the same time I am enjoying this experience while looking at the tech Porsche is using to deliver this experience, understand what you all think of the TYD process, and wanting to talk to their CIO about their future plans lol.
I'll add to your data set. 6053. We went through the line on the same day but I was a couple hours behind you. 9:07 am paint shop, 2:23 pm bodywork, 6:28 pm assembly, 7:38 pm elevator. A bit faster, but the difference was mainly between the first two pictures.

My TYD is showing one day earlier to Emden (5/9) and on the water (5/10) for some reason, but I take those with a healthy grain of salt.

Also, for those of us who are into photography, it's fun seeing what camera/lenses/settings they are using. Canon 1D X Mk IIs with mostly the 24-105 f/4 glass (Is and IIs) but using the 16-35 f/4 to get a nice wide angle on the bodywork shot. Nice gear, a bit old but it's not like they stuck something cheap up there. They're using different metering and exposure compensation settings to try and fight the awful lighting conditions, at least they're trying...

I haven’t reached this step yet, but I’m pretty sure you can get the ship name using the TYD hack. If not, your SA can get you the ship name.

I know what you mean. I had a GT4, my only Cayman. It was a great car, but if you are a 911 guy there truly is “no substitute”. So the 911 called me back in very little time.

by double layer , you mean two layers of PPF protection ? I've never seen that, that would almost make your car "bulletproof" from rock chips, etc.
