What a great color. Amethyst Metallic?

My car is on Siem Aristotole, supposed to be heading to Freeport. I just checked to see if it had left JAX, which its currently pulling out of Saint John's River. I just noticed the destination is now Tuxpan, MX, not Freeport... I know the port of Freeport has been out of power due to Hurricane Beryl, but figured it would be back up and running by the time Aristotle arrived in a week or so. Anyone else heading to Freeport know anything?

Did TYD update when the car left the port, before it arrived at the dealer?

adding a data point for my tts cab build going to baltimore-
mfg complete on 6/17
arrived to port 6/21
projected departure from port 6/25-7/15

port of Emden was on strike Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. I bet this is why Siem Cicero has been sitting since 7/8.

Canadians: how much time does it usually take to get on a train / truck after arriving in Halifax? Mine arrived yesterday and the update in the app was that it would be en route to the dealer sometime between July 12 and 18; today it's between July 17 and 23.

Mine took 2 days despite the Canada day long weekend. (Put on a truck on Sunday). Another week after that to get to the dealer

Mine is missing that as well. Not sure why. Just got the two. Out of Paint and final assembly. Curious.
