My C2S is on the vehicle transport, California Highway, and scheduled to arrive in Houston on October 6. I expect to take delivery around October 15.

Schedules and tracking should be online, but since they aren't, your SA is your only source. Fortunately for me, mine is very responsive -- has been so since I ordered in May -- finally it's been built, on the ship, and should arrive in my final port -- San Diego in a couple+ weeks. You guys on the East Coast get yours much quicker. The previous schedule allowed 3 weeks at each port, actually took less than a week to hitch a ride at Emden. I should drive it away by end of October -- long journey, but well worth it, and its getting close. Was lucky to get an allocation back in May for a Turbo.

I went with Agate over Black/Bordeaux. My favorite interior won out over my favorite exterior.
Miami blue is like Paris Hilton. Fun to look at and draws lots of attention, but I wouldn't want to live with it every day.

I have a few notes from seeing my car over european delivery.
I have an alcantara headliner, visors, belt outlets, and seat inserts, but oddly, the A and B pillars were not uphostered in alcantara. It makes the belt outlets look a bit odd. I also had to break up the sport package to get the
I chose NOT to do the full leather interior and consequently, the aluminum trim option does not wrap around onto the door. It's only on the dash and center console.

I'll check it out next week when I'm down in Fl. My order isn't locked in until 10/17. Thanks for the input.

Heard back from my sales rep. Was surprised to learn that my car reached V210 on September 28th. They were still able, yesterday, to sneak some (big) late-breaking changes into my order. Thank heavens, because they didn't even tell me that I was approaching the feature lock. But all should now be well.
Now the second-guessing begins.
The GM of the dealership indicated (or claimed) that I have his only C4S build allocation for some time, and that there's now a long queue of buyers behind me. Perhaps because of the Car & Driver article, and people chasing the fastest possible 0-to-60 in a Carrera? Who knows.
I've asked for a screenshot of the planned/expected schedule dates, but haven't gotten one yet.

It's here at last !!
Possibly the longest delivery time for a core Carrera model (anyone waited longer), I finally received my C4S (apparently only the 2nd C4S delivered in Thailand). Order was placed mid-December 2015, delivered just over 10 months later on 29th Sept. Very happy with the colour choices especially the 2-tone full leather luxor/black option which was horrendously expensive with Thai import tax at approx 14,000 USD equivalent! Here's some pics from collection day. Some more internal ones to follow.
