That was August during the TPMS issues. I would not expect that to happen to any of you guys since I don’t think that is an issue anymore.

Any updates on how to get TYD enabled if you haven’t received the invite?

I had the same problem with my Taycan. Bit of a nightmare. And I still can't access any pictures like others have been able to view.

And the biggest downside is today my car was updated to show that, 'yay it left Emden 9 days early!'.....but.....'nay, my delivery date has been pushed back 28 days!' My car is now scheduled to sit in the port facility for 34 days and be delivered on Dec 31, which probably means sometime in January. Sweet.

My Taycan schedule just went from being scheduled to spend a couple of days at the port to now spending 34 days at the port. My guess is that there are still supply chain issues.

My BGTS is due to arrive at port in Benicia on 11/6, yet TYD has delivery at dealer on 12/3. I'm guessing/hoping it arrives sooner as the dealer is a 2-3 hr drive from the port. My original delivery date was 11/3 then 11/19.

Finally out...one year and 20 days after initial order.

Got it! Drove the car through the Santium Pass and the weather was perfect. Man, that auto-blip is heaven, cylinder deactivation...not so much. Apparently, this was the dealership's only GTS 4.0 allocation and they had several offers for it while it was there for three days. The car does have some minor chip damage, very small. Also, they had two GT3s there today...one Shark Blue, one GT Silver, I think. Already taken. My 981S is now part of their inventory, with a clear engine cover and bronze plenum covers, if you know someone who is interested.

Yeah, this seems to be happening a lot with TYD. Mine is a day out from arriving to port in Baltimore on the Mediterranean Highway, but TYD still shows it as stage 1/4 (Your order is created) with no pictures, doh.

AND like many others here, it went from arriving at the dealership on November 5th (stupid, since that's the same day it arrives at port) to arriving on December 3rd. Not sure if that date will actually hold of course or if it'll be earlier / later.

I was just checking my status of TYD site and my car showed as being 260 miles from Dealer or 260 miles from port. Just now checked again and now showing its back in Germany and its 37xx miles from destination and the date changed from Nov 5th for ship going into port to Dec 3rd to reach my port. I found that strange that now my car is back in Germany. Anyone else notice this?

Yup, just saw the same thing right before you posted this. I assume it's just a glitch, since Marinetraffic.com actually was showing the boat's location for many miles until it was out further into the Atlantic.

With you also having the issue it points more to a glitch but I couldn't help but to think "OH Great they missed my car and did not get on the boat" :-)
Doubtful that many cars were missed. I have pinged my SA to get the lowdown.

I'm very happy with my GB/Chalk and I encourage anyone on the fence to go this route. There are some great options for preventing dye transfer with jeans, and it's certainly more of a muted gray vs stark white that I was expecting.
Do you mind sharing those options? One of the colour options for my ordered GTS 4.0 is Shark Blue exterior with the Chalk interior. I'm worried about the dye transfer.

... I thought photos were required for exit?
Congratulations! Drive it like you stole it.

Not only is it working again, it's now saying it's an estimated 7 days til it gets to the dealership (it was 29 days this morning).

Again, could be a glitch, but I choose to believe this one vs. that one hahaha.
