"You are not alone in your frustration I have been getting calls all day but won’t have a definite answer on anything until the end of the day. I am praying that they pass CARB and start shipping them to dealers. We are just as annoyed as you. We have 21 sold sports cars sitting at the port right now and getting very close to our year end statements. I will let you know aas soon as I hear anything either good or bad. I was told I would have a definite answer before the end of day today."
From my NJ SA this AM:
"I wanted to follow up on my prior email. Porsche released this morning to us that CARB will be on Monday."
Your SA is your lifeline. Ask him for the Porsche Management System screenshot. It’s pretty standard, suspect most on here get them.
Ask for periodic updates, I stopped bugging my SA as he tracks all his customers daily. Big dates are build completion and Emden departure. SA will give you the ship name and show you how to track.
FYI, just learned my 2021 Boxster GTS 4.0 was released from Davisville port today and awaiting a carrier to deliver to dealer. I assume others should hear the same? Hope you guys get good news soon.
Oh by the way, my SA said there was a gas guzzler tax on the Spyder. Is that really true? He said it typically applies to GT cars.
I don't believe so. If so, it would be on the Monroney sticker. If it did have a gas guzzler tax, that would suck because I assume Porsche put the Auto Stop/Start (A.S.S.) and cylinder deactivation to AVOID a gas guzzler tax and meet emission requirements.
What are people getting for fuel economy? Not that we’re buying these for saving gas, just curious. I would think it’s better than the sticker says simply because the gears are so looooong.

My take on fuel economy is this, the more I drive the more fuel I burn and that supports the economic recovery, so get out there and drive as soon as you can!

I hope so Aventure. My GT4 is in Davisville also. Waiting to hear from my SA.

Haven't heard anything for Maryland cars. Hoping someone else in a CARB state can back this up or back up the previous post about Monday being the release day.

I'm right around 20. But, I only have around 400 miles on the car, which has mostly been backroad break in drives making sure I'm going through the gears etc.
Received call this morning from SA. No news yesterday, Friday, from Benicia. Still in hold pattern.The Pinkoboe, thank you for the picture. Hopefully the wait won't be long for you!!
This may be irrelevant to this thread but I was at the dealership today. My 2021 Spyder went into product 12/2. It shows projected Emden arrival 1/1/2021. It shows projected to leave Emden to Baltimore by 1/15 . Fingers crossed 🤞

I just read my sticker closely, including all the little morality tid bits put there by the EPA no mention of a gas guzzler tax. I have a 2021 GTS 4.0 so I can't see why a Boxster would be any different.
