If you car is on the SFL Conductor it has completed off loading in Baltimore and is heading for Houston.

I was mis-informed by the dealership, then. Bummer. I liked the feature, except when washing the car.

Default TYD keeps moving my delivery date farther away even though my car is getting closer

My car actually started and completed production a couple days early. Then it got to the port at Emden and was loaded on a ship the same day which put it 8 days ahead of schedule. Now it is half way across the Atlantic and suddenly TYD has added another week to my anticipated delivery date. It makes me wonder if they are anticipating a delay somewhere. I know we have a truck driver shortage but it doesn’t seem likely that it will take until 1-21 to get the car from Houston to St Louis. Is anyone else seeing the same thing?

TYD was developed by a bunch of dyslexic elves in Bavaria living on a magic mushroom farm.

I think they are padding a week at each connection. Keep us posted as to actual dates as they are updated. I also think the dates are estimates and not updated regularly. My On Vessel date is 12/17 but there are no ships in port that day that are heading to Davisville as far as I can tell.

It'll go back and forth like that, but ultimately, it's only maybe accurate.

My neighbor and I (without knowing it) ordered our cars within a week of each other. They were built around the same time. They were on the same boat. They got to port on November 6th. Both were cleared for transport (supposedly) on November 12th. A few days later he had his. Mine is still sitting at port and according to Porsche, "they're not sure why". My guess is that some component was missing and they're waiting for parts to arrive and be installed at port, but I sure wish Porsche would set up some kind of system to let dealers and customers know when that's happening and what's being waited on. It would at least make the wait a bit more bearable.

As of now I have no idea when my car is leaving port, and neither does my dealer.

No, Fridays. All dates in TYD are Fridays; that's one aspect of them being estimates. My delivery was pushed back another week today, from 18 March to 25 March.

My car still says "Port processing" but it also shows the "Actual date of completion" as 12/2 (yesterday). So I think that means it's processed and awaiting a truck. Good news! FYI, my delivery date was listed as 12/31 until today, so for those of you on the ship, just track the ship and ignore the app dates. Be optimistic

My car is apparently on Asteria Leader. My TYD was pretty much "your car is produced, oh wait, it's at Emden Port, no wait it is on vessel" (currently passing through English Channel) in a day or so, go figure... The depressing part is that the trip to San Diego supposedly takes 49 days, and tentative delivery date is 02/04. My SA thinks more like January delivery.

Anyone else who has a car on Asteria Leader? Time to form a support group, maybe?

I have the same Delivery as you, but I'm still ready for transit stage, but who knows since TYD is unreliable. Said my car was starting production, when the car was already produced.

Where in TYD and/or My Porsche did y'all get this style of photo of your fully-assembled cars? TYD is now showing V300 ("Ready for Transport"), but I still haven't seen this style of photo anywhere on the app or website…I only two photos in the TYD app showing my car in different states of assembly…
