@audi4t @Huddo Is the Discover Current Phase page working for you both? That's where the pictures show up and it's down for 2 weeks at this point.

Ah, I'll be going to Houston. Not sure if that'll be the same ship. Currently schedule doesn't have me on ship til 11/12. Hoping we can comfortably beat that but I've no idea of the shipping schedule.

No apparent problem for me via my Android cell phone. Still on stage 2 but it sounds like it will take a few days from now to move to stage 3 and I might get pics. I'll be sure to share if I find some.

nice, i've been debating which route to take when i drive mine home to No. VA from ATL. Going to the scenic route is enticing, but being in a brand new car I'm not familiar with has me a little concerned about being in the middle of nowhere if something happens.

You mind sharing the route you took.. if it's easy to show on a map?

ACHILLEAS...... If I were you, I'd take I85 North out of Atlanta, pick up I77 North in Charlotte to I81 in Virginia...... that will give you plenty of time to get used to the car. Once in Va, you can jump off of I77 anywhere and drive for awhile on Skyline Drive or just the back roads..... it should be really nice this time of year. I am from that area originally and have driven that route in several Porsche's and Corvette's. Congrats.... I should get my Targa 4S next week!

yeah, that's one route i was considering. One down side is i think Skyline is 25mph speed limit the whole way. i've never driven on blue ridge pkwy, is that also 25? some of the random google street views seem like it's a bit wider of a road, so was hoping there are good stretches you can open it up.

Oh wow! I thought it was down for everyone. For people that it was down for, is discover current phase back for you? I still have to go to TYD through the email link.

Sent my initial configuration to my dealer today - Gentian Blue 4 GTS manual. They have a short wait list and expect some additional allocation within a month. Hoping to get this order locked in - then the longer wait begins.

I drive Atlanta to Ct frequently

so below is the the route I take - picturesque and more interesting

i live in North Georgia

I suggest 85 to 985 to 23

This will take you to I40 then east to Asheville worth an overnight stop and see the Biltmore

Then take I26 north to Johnson City pick up I81 and head NE you can join the Blue Ridge Parkway at several points and you don’t have to drive the whole length - typically 30 mile sections repeat !!!

There are really no sections on the Parkway to open up - congested, 35 mph speed limit and park police abound.

also be careful in Tennessee - State Troopers everywhere and Virginia too

I'm a long-time NYS resident and for the life of me don't understand why it is this way. I spend a lot of time (pre-pandemic) in Canada and having a similar climate you'd think their roads would be just as lousy-nothing could be further from the truth AND their highways mostly are toll free. Welcome to NYS Rte 90 and differing road surfaces, holes in the driving lane that cause large THUMPS!, horrific expansion joints and highway to bridge transitions. Plus we "get" to pay tolls for these **** roads for the ever expanding powers that be in the NYS Thruway Department(what a crock of ****). My wife swears they build **** roads so they can keep their useless Thruway Authority in place by continually hiring contractors to fix the roads. I totally agree and sympathize with you on this point 1000%!

No, TYD still down on my computer and iPhone. I too, can access only through my original TYD link given to me back in May when the order was accepted. My Targa 4S is on Felicity Ace headed for Halifax (MarineTraffic showing ETA there of 10/26) then Davisville and then TYD showing onto Houston 11/26...just can't take that long. From Halifax to Davisville shows only 2 days on previous ships with this itenerary and then another 7 days onto Houstion...which would make Houston about Nov 4-5.

I guess this can be construed more than one way?

Has anyone more recently emailed porsche about this? Wonder if there's a update? Maybe alot of their IT staff quit, lol? I know we're having tons of turnover at my work, so who knows. You'd think someone would be on this or a email would have come out by now, really surprised.
