Default TYD images

The only images for my car buried in the HTML code are "generated images" which are configurator renderings. Gee, thanks, Porsche. Are those production line pictures a scam, er, just examples so long as they have one that matches your particular build? I have yet to see another car with exterior combinations of mine, so suspect they didn't have suitable pictures in the library. Curious how this really works.

Noticed that today as well. I think it’s a new webpage. Any other hacks to get production pics?

No pictures for mine either.

my.porsche.com says my car is at stage 1 of 4, order created.

TYD says my car arrived at Emden on Sunday.

TYD hasn’t worked correctly for almost a week — I get a JavaScript report loading the page.

In another thread, someone mentioned that their TYD updated to a new version and that their images suddenly appeared. 🤷‍♂️

This is what the new TYD displayed yesterday with a button to download 4 pictures including the final one.

I have a MyPorsche account in the UK and also the MyPorsche app. We don’t have TYD but I think it’s similar.
The MyPorsche app was stuck on level 3, “The development process” for months but my dealer tells me the car completed production 2 weeks ago.
The car is in a holding area awaiting transit I’m told but it has now totally disappeared from the MyPorsche app. It was there before as a graphic and I had a vin number, now it’s totally disappeared.
My theory is they’ve got transit problems at the port and a backlog to deliver. Maybe the apps were giving us a bit too much information.
There are lots of strikes in Germany, airports closed etc. I’m thinking the port might be struggling too.

Our son just got 4 pics of his Taycan, but none were of the final build - all in progress. It did update to heading to port though, so he's getting more excited.
Better than the "one" I received on this car (same view as above).

Update: The new app shows me actual pictures now. I'll withdraw my conspiracy theory of stock photos for now.

Did you get FAL?
Your front end looks to have a larger than average gap - and my Targa 4S (which I hope to take delivery of next week) looks the same way in the production photo. Just curious.

My TYD doesn't seem any different to the way it has been for months. Do you have to do anything to get the updated version of TYD?

No, but you may need to clear your cache...

Interesting, I've never seen that before.
