Just got the call -- my car has been released for transport and should be at the dealer by end of this week....I've got a light at the end of my short tunnel!
My Tpms parts are at the dealer waiting for the car. I should be able to take delivery this week.
Thank you for posting your Vnumbers. I just got my Vin last week and word that I'm V300 and heading towards Port of Emden this week. As I suspected, Porsche still has 5-6 weeks from completion to arrival at my dealership...most I'm seeing are similar to yours, only 4 weeks or so provided the TPMS isn't holding anything up.
I'm out! After four weeks in production (V260), my SA called this morning to let me know my car is on its way to Emden. It's going to Jacksonville, but their system doesn't currently show which ship will carry it. I should have it in time for my birthday the first week of November... if it is not held up for TPMS or something else at port.
Woohoo.
It will be nice to know that our cars will be traveling companions! I haven't been called/notified that my car has left for Emden yet, but I know it will be heading there soon. Here's to hoping we're on the same transport and ship, my car will be heading to Houston vs Jax.
So my '22 BGTS will be arriving port in the next couple days, but due to the TPM Module, they aren't allowed to schedule the PECLA delivery, and as of now the earliest date is 4th of November. That will no doubt continue to push out until my car gets the chips installed at port.
Alternatively, my SA can have the car removed from PECLA delivery and sent directly to the LA based dealer, and in that case I can have the car in early October.
What do you guys think? Is the PECLA delivery worth a 1+ month delay? PECLA sounds like it would've been a lot of fun, but i dunno if a 2 hour instruction lesson is worth a 5 week delay

I was set up for PEC ATL after having ED cancelled. I decided to cancel and take delivery at the dealer. Based on the past 6 months, the only the certain is the uncertainty of everything.
If you have never been on track and won’t be on track, I’m sure it’s a fantastic time. You could also just schedule an experience day with them separate from taking delivery there.
Mine just arrived at port today. If you find out what ship it is, please post it as my SA has no visibility of it yet. I think that our cars could be travel companions if yours is headed to the East Coast of the US. I’ll track the ship’s movement through MarineTracker.
I was informed it should be going on ship SFL CONDUCTOR.

I took delivery at PECLA and it was a blast. My party was a group of 7 and Charles was very accommodating. Never been on track and I don't plan to track my personal car so it was nice to get THEIR Spyder on the track and drive it and put the wear and tear on THEIR car. Whether it's worth a 5 week delay is something only you can answer but if I had to do it again, I would because it's not just simply picking up the car. It is an experience and it was nice. Charles took a bunch of pictures and you get lunch too. Of course, the different track course are included too but you also get some other little treats of taking delivery at PECLA. I created a thread on it. Here is the link if you're interested: https://rennlist.com/forums/718-gts-...l#post17515820

No way!! Take it as soon as you can get it. THis coing from someone who has had a car in port for over a month and stull has no idea when it is coming out.

Haha thanks! It does look like a blast, but i've done many track sessions and instructions in the past, so it wouldn't be totally new to me.
The other thing to consider is, taking delivery of a convertible in mid-November in northern california means it likely won't get much top-down use before Spring! At least early October will get me an additional month of top down backroad thrills.

I just got the same call! My 2022 CGTS has been sitting at the Port of Baltimore since it's arrival in the US on 8/12/21. But the dealer just called and said that the car has been "Released for transport". When I asked about TPMS sensors, he said he assumes the car is ready for sale when it reaches that stage. So fingers crossed! I may have to start driving the 30 minutes to the dealer each night just to see if it's been dropped off yet.

Oh wow, the TPM module held your car up at port for a month and a half? Shoot...i was told it would be just a couple days
My 2022 CGTS has been moved from the Port of Houston to Porsche of North Houston where it will await the TPMS module. Expected delivery by 10/1. Very exciting to finally see and hear it run today.
