1. Read the Taycan owner's manual that is a sticky in general discussions forum. Portions to start with: basic driving operations, starting, shifting, braking, stopping, etc.
2. Follow up by reviewing content in the app "Porsche Good To Know", the video instructions and functions in detail.
In the military the first rule of equipment operation/troubleshooting/problem solving was the acronym: RTFM!
I am first-time EV owner, too. That is what I'm trying.
Or use KISS and ask the right question - not rocket science ... but yeah, read the manual :)

TYD updated today to show I'll be on Siem Aristotle, but it shows "On Vessel" date to be 12/17. According to the shipping schedule it shows Siem Aristotle in Emden 12/1-12/3. Which would mean its arrival in Baltimore would be 12/17. Am I reading this right? If so, holy crap, I might get this car before the end of the year!
TYD is very wrong for me to, but what you will notice with the dates is that they are always fridays. So when TYD was right for me something might happened on a Tuesday, but TYD would show that Friday as the completion until after the fact when it would update.

My dad was a marine for 20 years and I’ve heard RTFM more than once in my life! He’s going to get a kick out of this when I tell him. Thanks for the laugh and you’re absolutely right. I’ll get on reading the manual.

SFL Conductor

Possibly waiting on the oncoming bulk carrier and maybe even the Car Carrier Grand Orion behind it to pass through the bridge? - stalling out on oceanside at 9 knots.

Could be, the Bay Bridge tunnel, has two tunnel sections that ships pass over. The bridge is low to the water. Norfolk is the Navy's port for The Atlantic fleet. several aircraft carriers.

I wouldn't put much stock in TYD dates at this point. My CT4 is on a boat hours from Baltimore right now and it shows a Baltimore ETA of 12/24
True, but how accurate has it been for all of you regarding which ship you are on? If the ship assignment is accurate that would be amazing. The tracking for Siem Aristotle shows it in the North Sea docking at Emden tomorrow. Which means, if my car is going to load on that ship… ???

I’ve not read of anyone having the wrong ship listed once it reaches “On Vessel” status

Vessel assignments on TYD generally solid.

TYD just updated again! I just went from 45 days to 29 days for delivery! Looks like it will load on Siem Aristotle on 12/3 and arrive in Baltimore on 12/17, that puts it at my dealer on 12/31. Looks like I have to call my SA about getting the paperwork done once it's on a truck. Fingers crossed on that federal EV credit. :rock:

Has SFL conductor arrived at Baltimore now?

Also how long do you anticipate it will take our cars to arrive at the dealership after it docks (my dealership is in metro Detroit MI)?

Almost docked, tugs are leading it now. Should be fully docked in the next hour.
