Is this from your TYD? Mine just arrived at port, but no info on the vessel it'll be floating over on yet.

Vessel data will not be on TYD.

Your SA can tell you or you can do the TYD data hack and inspect the element for ship info

Any link to a guide on how to inspect the element in the webpage for the ship info?

Think it’s been posted here and 992 Emden thread.

Once TYD indicates it’s on a ship, you can do the hack.

I’ll look around for the link

Finding the ship the car is on (once it has shipped):

It is possible to identify what boat you're on with a bit of web browser knowledge. Assuming you're in chrome on a PC, do this:
  1. Go to the TYD website.
  2. Press the F12 key
  3. Click on the Network tab
  4. In the box to filter the requests type "api.porsche" (with no quotes)
  5. Refresh the page
  6. You should see a number of requests in the list but you want the one that has the name "USMGXXXXX" where XXXXX is your commission number and the type is hr (NOT the one that says preflight). Select that one.
  7. After selecting that one, click on the response tab. You will see a whole bunch of textual (JSON) details about your car.
  8. In those details you will see something like this:” ident":"|MO_9283875"
  9. In a new browser tab, enter the url "https://www.vesselfinder.com/vessels/details/9283875". But replace the numbers (only the numbers) with the numbers in your data.

I’m patient so it’s fine. It’ll get here when it gets here, but I can’t downplay my excitement for that moment. Totally psyched!
You're going to flip when you see that car! It's the greatest!!
Any word on when it's going to hit emden?​​​​​​​

You can also just get the VW shipping schedule from PWL and can easily anticipate which ship your car might be scheduled for.

Wolfsburg was the only ship coming into Emden and leaving for Houston, and sure enough my TYD updated when Wolfsburg came and left Germany.

Should be at the Houston port by late this week!

There are many more ships coming to the US than what’s reflected on the VAG PWL portal.

Just FYI…but that an ok place to start

Interesting. Hope that is correct.

When I said mine are black on a white car, I was referring to the photos I printed with my build sheet, so I don’t know on the actual car.

We shall see!

For cars destined for Southern CA dealers, do they enter into the Port of San Diego?

Received notification it left German port this morning. Looks like I'm on "Lake Wanaka" which is heading to Halifax. Interesting considering my port of entry is Baltimore...
