I like your planned date to the dealership of June 19th. I am going to wait until Friday to ask about my car in the hopes that it too will be completed and have an actual date for V300!
Note that my planned/expected dates after production might be misleading on the build sheet considering that I was supposed to do ED in late May originally

Understood, but I am looking at how it might move after it is completed now that it is coming here, likely move up to Emden quite fast, the port is open now, I would guess that Porsche would like to deliver any cars they can...

Yeah I've been bugging my dealership quite regularly, so I'm sure they're keen on getting my GT4 here sooner rather than later! I'll hold off of asking for an update until the end of the week, hopefully with something more positive to report. Will also be bringing my Macan in for maintenance next week, so I'll probably bug them in person then as well! At this point, I'm just counting down the weeks (10) until the car is slated to arrive; hopefully it continues to move up and improve, so I'm hoping 10 weeks is the worst case scenario now.

In the meantime, I've been trying to decide who I want to get PPF installed with: either at the dealer using STEK or at a local detailing shop using XPEL Ultimate + Fusion Plus coating. Both are roughly the same price for the full wrap, there are pros and cons to each and I'm still waffling between the two.

My update....

V260 Actual Date May 6, 2020. All other expected dates are updated too. My K000 Entry port Halifax is Jun 19, 2020.

Assuming this is correct, how long does it take for it to to get from Halifax into Toronto dealership?

Usually 7 days

I'm guessing you've ordered a Spyder based on your nickname?

It's strange, I have a V260 actual date of May 8 (2 days after you) but my entry port Halifax is in July instead of June...

BTW, do we know what happens between V270 and V300? In my original pre-COVID schedule these steps were on the same date but now it takes 2 weeks to go from V270 to V300

Yes it is Spyder. My V270 and V300 expected dates are both May 15, 2020. What does V260 enter body shop really mean? Can they assemble everything within 9 days?

my dealer contacted me today. The first delivery date was scheduled for April 20. But after the lockdown the new date he communicated me two weeks ago was mid-May. And today I am at the end of June ...

Do you ask for compensation for repeated delays?

No, I don't think so. Come on, look whats going on in the world. Things aren't going to be operating normal right now.
My car is delayed like the rest of us on here. I don't blame Porsche for the delay.

I'm on my 4th, first was Jan 29 but never thought about it as no one guaranteed me right on time delivery. That said after 4 I definitely share your frustration just don't think it equates to $$. June is a great month for driving a P though!

The screen shot shows entering Halifax July 24. Manager didn't include the next page that shows dealer delivery date. 2-3 weeks ago it showed dealer delivery July 24. Original was June 5 at the dealer.

I will follow up after May 29 as that is the expected date for V250, the next gate on the status list. Will get the full view until dealer delivery at that time.
