Thanks for your great sharing! It helped to confirm the exact vessel that she is on now.

Unbelievable. Looks like I missed another boat. 6 weeks sitting at port now.

Congrats to those that made Confucius!

Yes, my car went V260 on 4/29. Originally, TYD showed an end of production of May 8 and that changed at the last minute to June 5. My SA sent me a screen shot of what he can see in PSVMS which shows an originally planned date for V300 of May 5 and now expected of June 9. It also shows being at V280 (Vehicle entry to CT assembly, i.e. Exclusive Mfr/CXX stuff) for a week instead of the originally planned 1 day. I have a couple of EM things on my build (colored headlight washers, dashboard in leather/race-tex) but no extensive CXX items.

I have no idea what the hang up is, but it does make me feel a bit better that whatever is causing the delay, it isn't specific to my car. (Sorry, jeanrabelais!)

Same. Unless there’s some wild update delay. TYD still says leaving Emden 5/17, but nothing seems scheduled for that day.

Yikes that’s a worrisome delay indeed. Sadly out of your control, but it’ll be all worth it in the end.

I have a April production car as well (V260 4/14) with CXX interior. My completion dates moved down a week from 5/19 to 5/26. I’m really hoping there’s no similar lengthy delay as yours, as ED is scheduled for July.

Forgive my stupidity, but on what does one right click to get this information?

God bless you,

Right-click anywhere on the page once you’re signed into your TYD account, and select “inspect” (mac) or view source if you’re on a pc

hope this helps

My Spyder was produced in March and should be delivered in the coming days.



Is it standard to get four pictures from the factory? I'm still missing the side-rear view and a buddy is missing the view of the almost-finished car (as above).

Well Gents, no clue what is going on.

Appears my GT4 has missed its second ship. Original delivery was 5/5. Car missed the 3/15 freighter. Now we are passed 5/12 date and I do not have any updates...

Growing frustrated that the car is sitting in Germanys port since 3/21....

Sorry to hear this mate. What’s your destination port? According to other section, there is next one for East coating on 6/7. But that is Davisville one.

Port is San Francisco. Then a delivery truck out to my dealership in Idaho.

Sounds like it missed the ship for a 2nd time....
