the vehicle already was at my local port 05-19, should be on the CN rail from Halifax to Vancouver. So in that case im thinking the data should be pretty accurate since the boat portion is complete

My car arrived at Emden this morning and is headed for Davisville, RI. How do I determine what ship its going to be on? It looks like Siem Cicero is there now but based on the VW export schedule posted above it doesn't look like that's one of their stops
I think everyone just guesses based on the schedule and hopes to make a ship.
My car arrived on 6/5 and missed the SFL Composer. I am waiting for the week 22 schedule to be released to see whats the next ship coming to Davisville.
Right now my TYD shows 6/23 for leaving the port but that seems to be a placeholder date that many folks on this thread were assigned this week.

Yeah, I think you are in good shape then! Good luck!

My car got off the Sunshine Ace in Halifax this morning and TYD showed it departing in 2 days. This afternoon my dealership contacted me saying there’s an 11+day delay getting it out of the port. Then it gets trucked to Toronto to find a train to western Canada, followed by another truck to the dealership. I’ve yet to see TYD dates get accelerated so don’t be surprised if your delivery continues to get delayed.
How accurate was TYD on the delivery to your dealership date, compared to when your SA actually called and advised the car arrived? My TYD is showing delivery to dealership 06-06 to 06-12 no calls just yet.
In a word, inconsistent. However, my SA estimates from day one were on point. Also, consider my car is ROW so I had most functionality of TYD but not all of it. Here's my chronology:
Late Oct. - T is announced
First week of Nov. - deposit on the T
Christmas - received allocation
First week Mar. - freeze date
First week Mar. - given delivery date range of last week of May to first week of June
First week Mar. - production started (days after freeze date)
Second week Apr. - production ended
Third week Apr. - received photos and model car
End of Apr. - arrival at Emden
Second week May - arrival at port
First week of Jun. - arrival at dealer
It was painful tracking TYD because it's hard to understand why production seems to take so long and then why the car seems to be stuck at port of departure and then why the car seems to be stuck at port of arrival. However, had I just gone on what my SA told me at the point of freeze date, it would have been perfectly on time. My advice? Leave the app alone and just rely on monthly updates form your SA.
It’s obviously not a big deal @incoming992s. But someone had the idea of putting up the production photos in their garage and I thought that would be cool to do in my garage as well. Google won’t show my exact car in the factory. These are highly customizable cars and we pay a lot for the entire experience. It would’ve been nice to get the photos and I realize it doesn’t mean as much to every person. But again, not a big deal.
Once your car is the garage, you won't care one iota about hanging pictures of it. We're paying for a killer car, that's it. I'd actually prefer TYD didn't exist, it just adds anxiety to the wait.

You’re 100% correct….but I still can’t stop hitting refresh!

Cicero just got there yesterday. It’s probably not leaving until it loads up the 8500 +/- cars. Scheduled to leave on the 9th. Have patience because you might miss a few boats.
