What app are you using and is it like the website trackers where you have to pay an insanely high subscription to get any real information?

vesselfinder.com is what app I downloaded. I also have it on my laptop. It’s free and seems to work pretty well.

That's what I've been using too, but it only seems to update randomly every 24-72 hours for a lot of ships. I'm watching the Graceful Leader but it hasn't updated in 3 days (still showing it near the Panama Canal exit).

Yeah, I noticed once the ship gets far enough away from the port, it becomes out out view unless you buy the satellite version lol. Wish I could be more help!

Initial impressions from the first drive: The car is insane. Dealers here in So. Cal. don't give test drives in M-cars, so I had never driven one before. Far exceeds my expectations. Crazy fast. Incredible handling. Wow!!!

Looks great. I had a feeling fire red would suit this car well.

If you can, can you please take a picture of the ambient lighting inside? I’d like to know if the ambient lighting was changed from MY24 or not.

My SA said it was supposed to leave the VPC yesterday en route to Tampa, but it didn’t get assigned a truck… which is consistent with what the Genius line said, as well. So, no… no news.

My app still has me Ready to Transport since 9/10. I called the genius and they are down at the moment. I did notice the Morning Menad left the port today and is scheduled to hit Baltimore on Friday.

Hopefully a lot of our cars are on that ship. Anyone else with a week 36 build (Sept 3) hearing anything?

Forgot to ask you. Is your M2 scheduled for VPC in Baltimore or Brunswick? Just being curious, since we are both taking delivery in the same state. (Hopefully this month lol😝

Same situation as you, week 36 build. I was Ready for Transport on 09/09, nothing updated/changed on website or app.

For the west coast folks, looks like Graceful Leader is scheduled to pull into the port of Lazaro Cardenas tomorrow morning.

I've been in RFT since 9/11 -- hoping all of us in this batch make it onto the ship

Look at that ship. What a beauty. Let's put some cars on it.
