Its normal. Once the ship gets out of range, sites like that or vesselfinder etc. stop showing and just keep track of how many days since last report. You can pay to use satellite tracking but do not see the point as you are just watching it in the middle of the ocean. Once it gets close enough to the Panama Canal the sites will start reporting in real time again.

Gotcha. Thanks for the heads up.

Deposit May 2021 and no allocation yet. I'm number 2? Maybe? Night Blue C2S equipped as GT car with FAL for local issues. It will likely be Gentian Blue or some other yet to be announced color as NB will no longer be offered Nov-Dec 2021. Figure I might have a car for my BD next year.

They are delivered with electric tilt steering, just without the chip to power it. The chip will be installed at a later date.

There's not a tremendous difference and if you're not completely enamored by the specific interior details, you can spec the car the way you want. Just a thought. That being said, a Targa 4s allocation won't be any easier to come by than a Targa GTS, most likely.
I think there are good arguments both for an against the GTS variant. For me, I would add much of what is included in the GTS to my 4S build and the price differential was minimal (less that $5K). While it may be harder to get a GTS allocation, I think I have a good position for the GTS (time will tell). And I know myself: I will not look at my bank balances and lament not having the $5k, but I will look at the car and have buyer's remorse that I spent nearly $180K on a car and didn't get exactly what I wanted.
I had a similar decision ordering my boat a couple of years ago. There were 4 levels of engine options and I had spec'd it out and negotiated a sales price based on the 2nd largest - a 380hp big block. Everyone - including the salesperson and the national sales manager - told me the 380 is more than enough and I will love it. I ended up ponying up the extra $10K for the 430hp engine and have never for a second had even the smallest regret that I did it. At the end of the day, it really is about knowing oneself and your own craziness.

How do you configure it in that case?

Yea, my TYD say port of Houston 11/26 too.
About 2 weeks ago my delivery date was extended by almost 4 weeks…… But I’m keeping my fingers crossed and hope felicity ace hits Houston 11/4 as per VW export schedule (see post #6678)

Cheers!

thank you!

TYD shows Port Processing complete, but now delivery date has been delayed to 11/05.

Total bummer. Not sure if this means there is a TPMS issue.
