did you get this through an email or the hack? The hack is still not showing me any pictures and my production completed about a week ago. Car is currently halfway to Emden.

Yes, this whole TDY thing is kind of weird. My car was completed and sent to Emden a week ago. it was supposed to load Friday and be delivered the first week of November or there-a-bouts. On the expected loading day, it had a hiccup and said my delivery date is now 75 days and the car will not be laded for 47 more days. Go figure. I have a VIN but no photos yet. Hoping that it is a glitch in the TDY but who knows? I kind of always looked at the TDY as a rough guide to where the car was but not so sure what to believe now, as the TDY has changed dates a few times during its run on my car.

TYD is anything but…. Take it with a grain of salt. Mine sat at Emden for a month. I was told that even if your car gets transported to Emben, there may still be missing parts that are required for your car and that it does not need to remain at the factory.

One side effect when the car sits at the port for so long, is that the salty air corrodes the iron rotors. I am still trying to grind out all the rusting spots on my rotors after taking delivery 4 weeks ago.

Gonna live vicariously through your pics. I have a GB coming in the same batch. Eventually, I guess.

Ill do my best to keep the info and pics coming. There others that did the same for me.

Its bad enough I’ll need 6 weeks of rehab for my TYD addiction, now it’s getting real. Deep breaths, deep breaths…

Eventually VW (oops Porsche AG now) will get a hold of this compulsive TYD behavior and will start charging after 3 month trial. Considering how long it takes, there's a lot to be made there.

TYD plus (TM) - pay me please

TYD said in-transit for a couple days before before the phase updated and I stumbled on the pictures.

Default Hang in there, it is worth the wait! Ordered 2/1/22.


Sewickley near Pittsburg is EXCELLENT to deal with.

Thanks to the sun for helping me with my photography.

You also need a 4 car garage.

The drive from Pittsburg to Columbus was like this for 5 hours.
