Sunshine Ace has been waiting for a spot at the VW docks in Emden. It should be docked in 1-2 days and is the next boat scheduled to Houston. There is a good chance several of us will get on this one and our delivery dates might shift forward.

My Spyder hit step 4 this morning. Two days late, no other delays in my schedule yet. LOL.
Excited to see photos... where are they located in TYD? The photo gallery where the build renders are?

You and I have the same port arrival date (5/4) and shipping date, except I’m east coast. I’m betting 6/22 is just a placeholder.Porsche doesn’t seem to have advance notice on which cars get loaded on which ship.

Almost. They're right below that (and the technical data), and you'll know they've been added when you see a blue banner near the top of TYD under the map telling you that insights from production have been added. It's still relatively early in the week so I'd assume you'll have them by Friday. I think my paint shop photo showed up two or three days after TYD said building started.

Awesome! Thanks for the heads up! Much appreciated.

Today it updated again to now say the completion date is June 1st while my SA says his system shows June 2nd as the expected completion date.
I can't even begin to guess what's actually going on. I mean... the car looks pretty complete in the pic from the 18th. All I can do is keep waiting with my fingers crossed.

UPDATE! I’m on the Aristotle! The 6/22 date was not correct. Check your TYD!

Fair. I think what I meant was the car was done being built, not that it's been released for transport. I could definitely see a part or validation testing pushing dates out, and TYD didn't say I was complete for another day or so after I got my final picture. As for yours, that does suck, hopefully it's nothing major.

TYD was just updated for me that my vehicle has left the German port. Mine is going to Jacksonville and I believe that’s the next stop after Davisville.

Looks like it stops in Maryland in between. Thr boat is a day or two late leaving Emden depending on whether you use US or German dates (they're 6 hours ahead of the East Coast.)
