Is it common to miss TYD dates and not get new dates for a while? As noted above my GT4 was to start 4/3. I've seen a date or two before this take a couple days to show red/completed, and fortunately with those (lock date and about to start date) no other dates pushed out and they maintained the date when they turned red.
Now I'm 8 days past 4/3 with no indication that it happened OR the date slipped.
Any value in asking the SA to send me the tracker with vcodes?

Thanks

^^ Mine took 13 days to go from stage 4 to stage 5.
It was the same - no idea why the delay. SA won't have any information. I think it's normal...

Yeah, it happens. Check using devtools in Chrome or Edge. Sometimes you will find an answer there that TYD doesn't have. Although, it may not lead anywhere and you could still be just waiting for the Porsche update.

Mine sat at Emden 12 days before catching a ferry. I've seen some with much longer waits though.
Have you figured out potential boats that may be your ride?

SFL Conductor is on the way to Emden, supposed to be arriving 4/12. Then hopefully leaving Emden 4/15. Then Davisville 4/24 and Baltimore 4/26. TYD hasn't updated since 3/31 and shows local port 4/16.... So that's my best case guess!

I sat in Emden for 35 days waiting for a boat to San Diego. Two ships heading my way came and went while I waited. Never found out why.

My GT4 arrived at Emden today. Looks like I just missed the Sunshine Ace to Jacksonville. Going to sit there for 3 weeks until Siem Confucius gets back to Emden on May 2nd or 3rd😩

Mine apparently left port on the 8th! The confusing part is no boat left from Emden headed to Halifax in that window. Pretty sure I'm on the SFL Composer that's still sitting at the dock. Still exciting though.

Default I think the port delays are not infrequent, frustrating when that close!

I've seen a few posts in the last 20 months where they're built, at departure port, and no info for a month then suddenly on a ship. Don't think I've seen this with production dates with no timeline update. I guess I expect it's slipped, just curious how much.

I'm in the same boat. Just got an update that it was ready to be released for transport but still not photos.

Build date started 4/3 and finished today 4/11.

Does TYD work for Canadian cars now?

Your “Paint completion” production image is much better than mine. Look at your gloss and fenders! Beautiful.

Mine looks a bit junky. 😂
