Hehe I didn't even need a morning coffee after waking up to these production shots.
Too bad they don't show photos from Werk 1 after CXX stuff gets finished. I wonder if I'll get any more pics at this point (CP8 is scheduled for May 19!).
Yeah getting production pics are certainly a highlight of the long wait.
My car is now at port in the US - (JAX) - going through PDI and been there a week now. The wait continues and going on a year now since initial deposit...
I have to say, I'm not sure if I believe this considering my "manufacturing process is complete" is still listed at 5/8 but I can still hope! Assuming this is true, can someone tell me how to find out what ship it might be going on or is it too early to tell?
Also, I now have three photos showing.

My car moved all over the place in the last week. Tuesday AM dealer vcode printout said ships 5/12, dealer arrival 6/9. Later that day, TYD showed it was on a boat that today the path shows clearing northernmost part of British Isles, headed West/Southwest across the Atlantic. Cool, right? Except a schedule posted on here 7-10 days ago showing all boats out of Emden this month (and 1 or 2 in early May) shows either my car left 5/20 on Siem Cicero - which would mean it's a day away from being at Davisville, RI port, OR it's on the Violet Ace, which was scheduled to leave 4/25, BUT IS STILL IN PORT according to vesselfinder.
So, you may get lucky and find it's departed already! If a ship's tracker is working, this is reality, trumps TYD.
I'm going to wait until the Violet Ace shows it's departed from Emden then call my SA to see if he shows what boat it's on.
Good luck!

Looks like my car bounced through the Halifax port way ahead of their revised schedule. Back on track for early May! Supposed to be at the dealer before May 10.
Update:
My car is confirmed on the way. Ship is the SFL Conductor, which I'd not seen on the VW list of ships leaving Emden in April. It left April 26, due in Davisville, RI 5/8, then Houston 5/18 (give or take weather, another stop near Baltimore. This ship does show on vesseltracker.com
Time to sell my 2019 GTS with 10,500 miles if anybody is looking!

My car is on the SFL Conductor as well, supposed to be at the Baltimore Port on 5/10. Given It was completed on 4/17, I feel pretty fortunate that it made it on a ship that quickly.
