Are the TYD Freeze Date and the Vehicle Fixed date on your V status report supposed to be the same thing?
Mine jumped as well. It did the same thing a week ago then returned to the original date a few days later My current TYD lock date is right on top of production start so I doubt it is valid. Last time I asked my SA and the sales system reported the original date. I think we are seeing the flaky nature of TYD.

Mine did too. From 2/22 to 3/04. I'm going to have my lady change my password so I can't get in and look at that stupid site anymore.

Hopefully no ones cars were on this ship from Emeden. Sounds like everyone got off ok though.

I just spoke to our local dealer. They have a 911 aboard this ship. Bad news. Hope the crew are all safe!

Oh my, that is not good. Hopefully they have indeed accounted for the whole crew.

Bimmer lovers who've switched to P-cars will be having flashbacks to the Tri Color incident in 2002.

My freeze date also moved out from 2/18 to 3/2 with no other changes. Schedule and start production are both on 3/4. I wouldn't trust any of it, to be honest.

It seems they are not the same thing. TYD indicates that my "Change Freeze Point" has been reached as of 10 February.
However, my SA printed out my latest info for me, and it shows a "Vehicle Fixed" date of 25 February.

My SA let me take a peak behind the scenes and showed me the magic behind TYD.
I grabbed this photo of it in operation.

Yikes. My two cars are (hopefully) still sitting in Emden, though they could have been on this ship.

EDIT: My wife's Macan S IS on this boat...

Porsche updated TYD with Felicity Ace msg. Sorry for those who are affected. (And just to clarify, it is a generic msg to everyone and not only to those affected by the incident).

My dealer had at least 4 cars on board. Sounds like the crew has been rescued, thankfully.

I really like the lighter interiors, especially here in Texas (I am in the DFW area) - it's too bad that these aren't available on the GT4 / Spyder (at least I don't think they are).
