Doubtful much of an impact. Couple hundred cars get dropped at the major ports every few weeks and show up at local dealers in 2-3 days. Post port transport further regionally segregated to minimize bottlenecks.
Only a handful of 992/982 4.0l moving to all but the largest dealers.
Regardless, if date holds, all timelines move up 2 weeks.
But back to your question, easy to delay all SUV, sedans for a couple of days to get the sports cars in the dealerships.

2021 SUVs are the only Porsches actually in dealers right now...

Great news for everyone waiting. I was getting concerned my date would move up closer to the on sale date from my original end of the year date and it did. I should hit Houston on 12/3 now and Porsche is now showing a delivery of 12/11.

I just called my SA today. He also confirmed that the original hold date of 12/4 has been moved up to 11/20.
Strangely, however, my car seems to be on the Glovis Symphony...which seems to still be near the waters of Europe. I think it might arrive in Benicia Port close to 12/4 anyway, which means that 12/4 may end up being my actual pickup date. I don't know if anyone else's car is on the Glovis Symphony, but I guess it's good that it wasn't sitting at Port for weeks on end.

This ship has taken a seemingly odd course from Emden, to the port of London, back to Bremerhaven, then the Netherlands to where it is now.
I will be completely annoyed at the world if this thing is now stopping in Spain as well.

Where do you see it is headed to Spain? I have been using marinetraffic.com to track my car on the Symphony, and it shows it just left the Netherlands and is headed for Brixton (likely to drop off its English Channel pilot). My guess was that it would be crossing the Atlantic as its next move.

My car is sitting at the port (bought at a midwest dealer) and I'll be taking delivery at PEC LA on Jan 8th. Does the car go to the dealer for prep and then will go out to PEC LA or does it go straight to PEC LA from the port?

Mine is sitting at the port as well, trying to find a dealer to do courtesy delivery so I can pick up before December instead of waiting another two months for PECLA delivery

I got another email from PECLA yesterday, this time offering dates! This would concur with the news of the approvals finally being granted. I grabbed the first date offered, the afternoon of January 22.
