I know how you feel. I have been waiting since I placed my order with my dealer in January. Right now my TYD is broken. It goes to the website but when it brings up the page I get a "Oops an error bring up google maps occurred. See Java Console for error."

But it doesn't really matter. My 911 was in Emden on 7-10 waiting for a vessel. The Swift Ace vehicle carrier docked in Emden on the 12th and left on the 14th bound for the US. So I am hoping that I am on that ship but haven't been able to confirm yet. I was hoping to find out something today as I was supposed to be on a vessel today according to TYD before it broke. However there have been no vehicle carriers in Emden since the 10th bound for the US other than the Swift Ace. So I am about 85% sure I am on that boat along with several others on this site.

Your SA should be able to confirm. My TYD/MyPorsche hasn’t worked since February when I placed the order, so my SA has been keeping me informed.

Yeah, he can't confirm on his end yet. But he is a new guy. My original sales agent retired and this is a kid who really doesn't know much that is handling me now. Until I told him he didn't even know that you could find out which vessel the vehicle was loaded on. I am pretty sure I am on the Swift Ace as I can use vessel finder and see all the vehicle carriers that dock at Emden. So far Swift Ace is the only US bound vessel that docked there and my Porsche has been waiting at the dock for a week.

My MY20 was originally scheduled to complete production on 7/17 based off it's original event key; but finished a week early (7/10). So I believe that is the last of the MY20's
Smiles- do you know if your car made it onto the Swift Ace?

I am looking forward to seeing how many 2020’s MTs were produced. Thirty years from now they may be a collectors item, lol.

FWIW, like you I also have lightweight glass and the larger fuel tank, so that's apparently not a cause of any delays due to suppliers.

True. I am a little concerned about where I’ll be buying fuel. At least I’ll have a frunk to carry a gas can. Yep, ten gallons of highly explosive fuel right up front. (I always order the fire extinguisher with my builds.)

Wow, I thought maybe my Mac was not functioning with the TYD, but I guess it is the App...Porsche may be working on it as our GM said they were still working out the bugs...

Not sure. I have a reminder to text my SA once it hits the departure date on my event key (8/4). When did the Swift Ace depart?

My 2021 build locked on 7/10 and has a completion date of 7/24 so we will see? I would assume they wouldn’t lock so early if production will be pushed back that far

I'm joining the wait. I placed my deposit on a C2S Cabriolet (just missed a Targa allocation by a few hours) for a December build with February LAPEC delivery. Requested this timing as my BMW lease ends in February as well. I have the V200 sheet but no definite dates yet. 7 months to go, but 4 months of fiddling with the configurator.

My build locked 06/05 but it didn't finish production until 07/04 and that was early compared to the estimate of 07/10.

The Swift Ace left Emden July 15th.
