Darn I know this topic has been dealt with a million times but How come I still don't have my production pictures? Tyd, hack, can't see them anywhere. Is it too early? My production ended on 9/15.

Mine ended 9/11 and I don't have any. It looks like TYD is behind but this is all typical of the way it works. Some people get 3 pictures right away, some get 2, some get 1 and some don't get any. I'm sure they will show, you can't worry about what you can't control. Good luck.

Default Vessel - Lake Fuxian headed to Ecuador before Bay Area

My Benicia (Northern California) bound ship made it through the Panama Canal and is now headed to a stop in Ecuador. Ecuador is south of the canal. Any ideas why the ship would head in the opposite direction for a stop before turning around and going north? If they needed supplies would have thought they would do it at a port along the way.

BTW - vessel name is Lake Fuxian

Add me to the club of people tapping their fingers on the desk for their build to come to life and be delivered. 4GTS scheduled in Northern CA on 11/17. Though I am not holding my breath for it to arrive on time.

I keep checking TYD for updates expecting to see something. But now that I think about it there is little chance that my car got to Emden on the 13th and on a ship on the 14th as TYD says. I'm guessing it may get on the next ship on the 27th or perhaps one in October. The V code system that dealers use to track cars coming in seems to be down so TYD may be also. My car was completed on the 11th (again according to TYD) and I have not received any pictures. So who knows what the schedule is. It would be nice to see a picture. Trying to be patient but I pretraded my Targa in May and I'm having 911 withdrawals.

I pre traded my Targa GTS in May as well!! My car was finished on 9/14 according to TYD and is in route to port and supposed to arrive on 9/20. Dealer arrival is 10/10. I have not received any pictures either. I am hoping my car stays on schedule. I am also missing my 911. I am tired of driving my Jeep!

Sounds like we may have used the same dealer, and the same strategy. I'm in Arizona but I used an East dealer because they were great to work with and had a Turbo S build allocation.

I used a NJ dealer that I used for all of my previous Porsche cars. They take good care of me. I am in NY. My order is for a Targa 4S build. I am having withdrawal!

Yep, same here. I'm sure it's the same dealer. Nice guys. My local dealer could learn a thing or two from them. The 992 Chalk Targa 4s that was in the showroom when you traded your car was mine.

I loved that build!! Really nice car! My son wanted me to get a Turbo S, but I really love the Targa lines. My GTS was a 2018 that I bought preowned, but I wanted a brand new one and was waiting for an allocation for almost 2 years! It hopefully will be worth the wait! Luckily I did not have to pay anything over MSRP.

The 992 Targa is amazing, you're going to love that car. Enjoy.

Yup that’s the ship. Our cars will be litter mates. 🫶

The “Lake Fuxian” just left Ecuador about 2 hours ago and looks like no more stops so straight shot to Benicia by 9/26 then over to Porsche SF hopefully very quickly after that.

its getting real now!
