I'm on the phone with Porsche right now, since I never received a reply when I contact them via email last week (from my Porsche account). Dealer says they cannot do anything. Porsche just told me they cannot locate that car, which is really weird. Their system throws the same error I'm getting. I'm on hold right now, so will update the gang when I'm done. Wish me luck. Ha ha.
EDIT: Porsche finally located my car, and assigned it to me, so all is well in that regard. However, ETA shows as 12/22/24, which I hope is dead wrong, but we'll see. There's ZERO detail on my computer.

Theres a chance your delivery is probably going to be closer to October or November.

The funny thing is my account now shows a map with ship route from Emden, directly to Freeport. Yeah, right! It probably makes stops like a FedEx delivery van. Ha ha. Sorry to hear about your bad luck, but at this point, I have almost zero confidence my car will arrive by its original ETA of late September. Unfortunately, your prediction is probably the most likely one. I thought Porsche was a little more selective on which ships were best to ship their cars in, but guess not. If there's another ship behind, which should take significantly less time to get to the ultimate destination, why not wait for that one instead? I assumed Porsche had a smart logistics team, and not just put cars on the first ship available, but that might not be the case, from the stories I've been reading here lately. Oh well.

Awesome. Congrats. Where do you live? And which dealer? And yes, I bet they will travel together, since they seem to be on the same batch that starts production 7/16. And even the El Paso cars arrive at Freeport, so wherever in TX you are, it should arrive there as well. Hey, we can go break them in together in the Hill Country. Ha ha.

I think they HAVE to be built before the shutdown, since after the shutdown, Porsche reportedly starts building 2025s. But somebody please correct me if that's wrong. Having said that, we could still get our freaking cars towards the end of the year, so it'll all depend on the shipping situation. Hope we all can catch a break on that front, but we'll see. Also no update on my car at all, so we're on the same 'boat'. According to the 'Porsche Sales and Vehicle Management System' salesman sent me like a week ago, my car is supposed to enter the body shop today, with code V260. But I won't have a chance to check until I come back from a 2-day motorcycle camp at Barber, where thunderstorms are forecasted all freaking weekend, so hope that's enough of a bad luck for this year. Ha ha.

Actually first car I’ve ever ordered. Cayman S. Just hit milestone 2 (freeze date). Should I expect any communication of any type during this process?

Rest really depends on your SA. Mine usually sends me a note once a month or so.
Congrats!

other than maybe an email from Porsche it depends on your SA if they are big on communication. My SA basically didnt talk to me for months as i was waiting for the car to built. He did respond when i emailed him but for the most part he just assumed i'd track it myself which is what i prefer.
