Thanks! That's what I figured, but wasn't sure since TYD is just a big blackbox - information goes in and information comes out and no one knows why it's doing what it's doing. I would love to see the algorithm.

Since I’m after you in the production queue, if you miss conductor, that means I’m also missing the conductor. We are going to make it. I’m not giving up hope yet, we still have 12 hours left.

I want to know this so I can bail on the order before taking delivery.

I didn't option the aerokit and that's one of my big regrets with the build. Looks soooooo good!
I regretted not getting aerokit too. I ordered a factory kit and it’s being painted now. My dealer will install it if my car ever arrives. I don’t think calling Porsche will do any good so I’m staying quiet for now. I hope you make the conductor, if not then Confucius. If neither, I’ll have an aerokit for sale.

My GTS has been at Emden for a month and REALLY hoping it makes the SFL Conductor. TYD for me still shows a 6/23 departure and 7/15 delivery to the dealership. My car finished production on 5/23 and reached Emden on 5/25.

It does seem kind of random on who makes it on ships since it doesn't always seem to be "first in, first out"

Hoping all make it on the Conductor!

Same for me TYD still has Emden port departure as 6/23 and 7/13 dealership arrival. I did notice that TYD updates in order as the dates pass. As much as I hate to say it out loud, it is possible that our dates have nothing to do with making the Conductor and they just haven't pushed out yet because 6/23 is still a future date.

Today is going to be very difficult day to stay focused.....

That’s so awesome! I wanted to do something similar (maybe bigger and put it on the wall in the garage). But I never got my 4th pic which is the best one

Take a nice high resolution photo upon delivery and use that as your 4th pic!

Not a bad idea but the factory setting makes it more special. Oh well. What kind of guitar you got there?

Nothing special, I had a bunch of friends who are musicians back in the day recommend me a good beginner guitar to learn. I played the cello for a long time since I was a kid, but never had any passion for it. Always wanted to play the guitar though. Unfortunately, due to very crazy work schedule involving lots of travel, I never got good at it.
