It was originally supposed to be on the boat that left Emden before that, but something got delayed and thus is coming on the PL now.

Looks like you and I will be collecting around the same time I suppose. What are you specs?

Also I got word today that the ETA for PL to arrive at SD is 11/28, with arrival to the dealership being first week of Dec.

We should definitely link up after delivery. Come to think of it, I wonder if we both will be picking up on the same day?

I'm sometimes out of town for a few days so I may not be here on the day that it's ready for pickup. But you never know. PM me when you go to get your car and I'll do the same.

Was excited to see this update this morning.

I've never tracked the delivery of a car like this before. What is the process now that the boat is docked? Does each car need to get customs clearance as it's unloaded off the boat? Any idea how many cars total the Polaris Leader can hold?

A week from now is Turkey day....man it's cutting it close. Was hoping to see it before Thurs!

My GT3 is on that boat too. Spoke to the dealer(McKenna) today and they thought they could have it Monday. That seems pretty quick to me. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

If any of us receive updated info from our dealers on delivery status from here on out, let's communicate that - would be helpful. Some people say the dealers are in the dark until the cars show up (my dealer did at least) but I sent him the following and I will let you know if he confirms any of it:

"I’ve been told there are a few codes that should show in the next few days on your system:
• U000 entry port San Diego
• NA10 PDI in
• NA19 PDI finished
• V810 release for transport - Monroney printed (now it’s waiting for the truck)
Is that what you understand?"

I'm guessing the speed on the GT3's delivery to the dealership depends on how far in each of our cars are inside the PL. The further back, the longer it will take to get to and process. Does anyone know how much time it takes to unload the entire boat? 1~2 days? 3?

Then once PDI is processed, does the dealer arrange transport carrier right away or does this step also have its delays?
