All of the dealers in my area use pretty much the same crappy web platform that doesn’t show most (any?) of the car details beyond the price and a list of things that may/may not actually be on the car. There used to be sites where you could get a free build sheet by VIN but the ones I’m aware of are gone. Any ideas?

My car does not show up. Is it not worldwide?

Build Sheet is currently unavailable.beta
What stage is your car in? My Taycan shows that same error, but it’s still at port in the US waiting to be delivered to the dealer.

I have 2 other Porsches that do show up correctly though.

I assumed it just takes time to show.

Edit: it does say US and Canada vehicles only on the page. Sorry.

I tried a couple of vins from the dealer website, I get the same “beta” message. Maybe it only works for delivered cars?

I used it when I was looking at cars on the lot. 90% worked. My delivered car has never worked. Not sure why…

Yeah, I don’t get it. There are a few dealers that let you access the sticker or build sheet, but most just give a list of generic features and a price.
