I have found that if you dig around long enough, you can get what appears to be more accurate build status, maybe even the exact location of you car shown by longitude and latitude, and possible delays.

I do think you need to have a VIN for this to work.

1. Following the instructions in the video to see if you have pictures.
2. After that, click Track your Dream on the left.
3. Make sure you also have clicked Network on the right side like shown in the YouTube video.
4. Click through any Porsche disclaimers on the left side.
5. On the right side, click Preview in the middle on the right -- you have choice of Header, Preview and Response.
6. Scroll down on the right side until you find your VIN--for me, there were at least 10 lines with my VIN listed -- two sets of 5. If you click on each line with your VIN on it, one of them will show you a list of 13 stages or "positions" on the right or 7 "positions" of location information.
7. Click each position, starting from 1 to see how far your car has gotten in the process and its exact coordinates.

For example, for my build, position 4 of 13 shows the following:
  1. actualDate: ""
  2. currentStatus: "Production Completed"
  3. expectedDate: "2022-09-02"
  4. expectedDays: 0
  5. icon: "factory"
  6. isActive: false
  7. isMilestone: true
  8. isReached: true
  9. location: "IPR"
  10. locationDescription: ["Zuffenhausen"]
  11. milestone: "Production Completed - CP8.0"
  12. position: 5
  13. status: "V300"
This shows that my build is complete, which is more accurate than my dealer and TYD (assuming its correct).

Another VIN line click shows the location of my car as follows:
  1. coordinates: [48.855012, 9.164785]
  2. icon: "staging"
  3. isActive: true
Plugging these coordinates into Google Maps, I can see that my car is at a staging area out of the factory near the rail yard.

Hope this is helpful in finding how far your car is.
My 992 coordinates are true for at Port Emden..... thanks for the detailed description
