I am looking forward to tomorrow, 12/4, with regard to the "embargo".

A lot of guys with an incoming MY21 992 car have been at the port since early September. Someone on the 992 even received an update pushing delivery from 12/4 to 12/18. I personally wouldn’t be comfortable taking delivery after months sitting outside, especially on the east coast.
I know the cars can “handle” it, but it’s really the principle of it. I honestly wouldn’t blame someone for considering pulling the plug. There has been literally no communication from PCNA as to why they’re being held up this long.
I know the first batch of MY20 cars were held captive for a month or so, but I’ve never seen it get to the point of 3+ months of waiting on CARB approval.
On a positive note. It looks like there is word on a couple maintenance packages for everyone’s inconvenience. PSMP +1 for cars sitting in port up to 60 days and PSMP +2 for cars sitting longer than 60 days.

For cars that are sitting at port, when the time comes to be loaded on a transport, Is there any priority given to cars that are special ordered for customers instead of ones going dealership lots for sale? Would customer orders go out first? Considering that 992’s have been sitting at port since September, I’d think they’d want to get those out ASAP and leave lot cars for last on any transport. Are the logistics that smart?

My SA mentioned this to me as well. Porsche is currently talking about providing customers with 992 sitting at port for a while now free Porsche Service Maintenance Plans (PSMP) as a gesture of goodwill for the amount of time people have been waiting. The +1 and +2 reference the number of years covered. Year 1 is free so if you get PSMP +1, that means year 1 and 2 are covered in the plan. No mention if 718 are going to be part of this.

Apparently my car has been sitting in Davisville since October. If it has been sitting outside in the elements for 2 months with seagulls ****ting all over it i would have to consider telling PCNA to keep it. I was so looking forward to my spyder. This is a real bummer.

I own a house in RI on the ocean not far from the port where my car has been for a month. You should see what happens to cars left outside on the northeast seaboard when the winter rolls in. Ugly.
Google earth Davisville port in RI. There are literally thousands of cars sitting on the oceans edge. Insane.

But it is my summer house. Lovely place, but when old man winter rolls in... oh man!
I have a buddy with a place on Lopez Island, which is likely near you. It is an amazing place, not unlike my RI spot. Enjoy!
