Well if we have to wait on the EPA at that time of the year it should not be 100 degrees on the dock alternating with thunderstorms (I am thinking Houston) Ditto on hoping the emissions deal gets sorted out soon...

I imagine it’s because they have added the PDK to the mix. Those are definitely recalibrated and maybe it was easier to embargo the entire MY than pick out the new vs. the old or everything got a new calibration, to some degree. And I don’t think it’s that they are waiting for certification as much as they applied for certification with an effective date. In my mind I think it’s actually no earlier than 12/04 so it could even slip if there is a hiccup in the process.
I also don’t think they will be held within the port as that’s a restricted area, they may get moved to a bonded facility or even shipped to the dealers with a do not sell embargo. That’s pretty easy to do, they just withhold the MSO’s.
This thread along with the reality of the delay, along with the impending winter weather forthcoming, is just exasperating... I’m going nuts over this.

That makes sense. I had one of the launch Macans in 15 and it came to the dealer early, like you said they couldn’t sell it until the official release day. Anything done by the government takes 2x as long as it should. I’m expecting 12/4, I just want the weather to be nice enough where I can get it from the dealer to my house!

If it goes to my dealer, at least I'll have visitation rights, and they'll probably put it in their showroom....

Based on some further reading they won’t ship to the dealer until the epa certification is complete. I was basing what I said on how domestic vehicles get held. Imports are different.
