Congratulations! Awesome looking car and great writeup. I hope I'm not far behind you and that my GTS will be delivered in August per current estimates.
I'm pleasantly surprised by your comment on polarized sunglasses and HUD. Is the HUD really not washed out at all in your car when using...
Thanks for the succint notes and useful screenshot ... wish I had them when I was first trying to do this as it would have saved me a bit of time!
FYI I did eventually manage to work my way through on my own, calling up the developer tools by using right-click Inspect on the MyPorsche Overview...
Looks like I've been bumped to the San Martin too. TYD this morning shows "On Vessel" 07/29 and "Entering (Houston) Ship Channel" 08/19 ... a slip of about 3-4 weeks ...
My GTS sedan was built 06/24 with a Burmester component missing, transported to and arrived at Emden 06/28, and is currently awaiting transatlantic transport to Houston. My SA informed me today they have received the missing component (he referred to it as "amp" and not "chip for amp") and will...
Current manufacturing processes are optimized to minimize inventory of parts and of completed vehicles. If the missing component is one that can be installed by the dealer in a relatively straightforward way, then sending the "incomplete" car to the dealer would avoid congestion at the factory...
Congrats on your baby photos kaytan, poppap and ladylow87! I'm a little jealous as I only retrieved two photos (about 10 days ago), and hoping the third (the side shot) will show up eventually ...
Fingers crossed ? that your car will be loaded on the Siem Aristotle! I'll have to wait for the one of the next ships bound for Houston; the Violet Ace and Sunshine Ace are due Emden within the next week or so. Hopefully the missing Burmester amp will arrive and be installed in time for my car...
If you mean Apple computers, I was able to retrieve two photos of my GTS on the production line using Chrome on my MacBook Pro following Fletch's instructions. The same two photos are now also available under "Discover Current Phase" on the main my.porsche.com page.
Mark: sorry to hear that! Are you going by the information on your TYD, or did you get an update from your dealer? My TYD worked again this morning, and shows no update after arrival in Emden on 06/28, with estimated completion for "On Vessel" still showing 07/01. I guess we'll continue with...
Mark: FleetMon does indeed show SFL Conductor as just having left Emden! My car arrived Emden on 06/28 and I hope mine made it on the Conductor with yours (the vessel is due to call at Houston after Baltimore). I'm having trouble getting into TYD this morning though ... ?
By any chance did you spec the Burmester sound system? My GTS was built on 06/24. My SA told me that the car was built without the Burmester amp and that it would need to be fitted either while it's at port (I didn't ask him if origin or destination port) or at the dealership. FYI My car was...
Rhett: congrats on your car getting underway! See post #190 immediately before yours ... I found the shipping schedule on the PWL website. The only schedule currently on that site (attached) is out of date, with the last vessel to San Diego being the Glovis Summit, which departed Emden 05/29 and...
Soumendra, I found it on the PWL website after I found a reference to PWL being the agent to VW logistics to the US on either taycanforums.com or rennlist.com. There's a drop-down selection on their shipping portal https://www.pwl.de/en/services/360-shipping for the Red Sea/Arabian Gulf which...
No notification Chris, I've been checking every day (and usually several times a day ?) and following the instructions in the
https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/?-how-to-find-your-taycan-production-photo-from-assembly-line.10340/
thread to view the underlying JSON code on the...
Yes! A single image of my Dolomite Silver GTS sedan showed up when I checked this morning. Hoping to get more in due course, as well as an update that it's been loaded on the SFL Conductor ... ?
