I was worried precisely about this problem. I posted this a couple of days ago:

And I literally just read this moments ago:

Sheeesh!

Regarding "Track Your Dream" activation, with apologies if this topic is tangential or repetitious:

I am a first-time Porsche customer, and recently have escalated my attempts to get into "Track Your Dream".

I ordered my TT in early November 2020, and got an allocation slot a few weeks later. After seeing the news this year that "Track Your Dream" is now active for Taycan (it was only for 911 before), I inquired at my dealership. They said they thought I should have gotten an email invite for it, but didn't seem to know anything about getting it set up for me.

Yesterday, I finally (lightbulb?!) called Porsche NA (800-PORSCHE) and chose tech support. While the human rep was looking me up (per name, phone, and email), they first said they thought it was active only for 911s, but then when they accessed my account (and some other info?), they said yes, it's also active for Taycan owners, and they initiated a process for me to get the invite email "within three business days". So, now I'm waiting to receive the invite email, and will update this within a couple of days.

I called the 800 and I got the TYD email the same day. Been tracking since 1/18 and on the boat now. The map stopped working but the miles to destination and dates seem to be working.

Nice to know; I'll keep an eye for a quick response.

US models have wireless charging in center console. Slide the phone on its side into pocket on wall of console between the seats.
I like the Design side skirts with splash of color. Very obvious with light colored car. Have it on my build, but not as pronounced on Cherry Metallic
On my e-tron 55 the wireless changing comes standard and must admit didn't think to check when ordering taycan.

I'm sorry to hear that. Any word on the length of the delay?

Also, I'm curious as to whether you had been following the production progress of your car prior to receiving the call from your dealer, or whomever. Do you have access to the My Porsche tracking information on your vehicle? If so, did any of the progress milestones change or fail to update?

I experienced the same. My car was ordered in October. They finally got the link to me three days before landing at the Benicia, CA port this month. Even then they thought my car was still waiting for a ship at Emden. I often found myself in the position of advising them what I knew.

Hi Mike,
I do not have the tracking link to my order. I ordered the car through a friend that is importing Porsche cars here in Switzerland. All I know is that it was planned for last week and the car is technically fully assembled. But certain electrical parts seem to be missing due to this chip shortage. They also said that even 911s are being delayed at the moment.

All they could say is that it should not take more than 2 weeks. I'll post again in this thread if I get any news.

Mine is currently on the slowest boat in the world headed to Halifax. I think they got lost as the location hasn’t been updated since February 26th!

Status on 03/06: car departed Emden, onboard the good ship Goodwood, present location (live view): https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/shipid:756386/zoom:8

About to pass through the Strait of Dover as I post this (but I definitely don’t check it more than once every passing minute ;>).

Planned arrival Houston 03/26, then in Albuquerque 04/02.

First Porsche, first EV, first custom-ordered vehicle.

Starting to really feel it.
