That would have been cool. Your friend could have had bragging rights of "driving" your car before you. lol

Day 12 of Port Processing...I really wish it could arrive at the dealership before Christmas considering it's already been paid for, fully insured and registered😂

TYD indicated my car arrived at the dealer on 12/10. It actually arrived on 12/3. Received a photo from my SA as they were pulling it into the service bay.

What scares me is that according to the Marine Traffic website, the next stop is Hueblahblah Port, north of LA. I do hope that it is a hiccup and the ship will stop at San Diego.

But I was Ecstatic the day I got my email from Porsche letting me know that my car was built. I quickly checked the TYD app and under the discover your current phase button I had a photo of my car as it exited the production line.


this made me happy. But I kept hearing about people who got more than one photo which made me curious. Some recently mentioned the My Porsche app. Well I have looked at my Porsche on the computer but I thought is there a separate app. Sure enough I found the app and down loaded it. So here I am only a few days away from taking delivery and I finally found the elusive photos. Here are the other two photos from the production line.



so if you are waiting and I think we all are. Be sure to get the My Porsche App downloaded and not just the TYD App. My Porsche is where the magic happens. I hope that is helpful for some of you. I know it made my day. Cheers.
Thanks! Very helpful. Got a few new-to-me pics after downloading the app.

I am glad I could help someone. GT Silver was my second choice. Maybe should have been my first choice. Shark Blue is making me nervous. Just look at how different it looks in all three of my pictures. It seems the lighting really changes the color.

Default My ship has come in

The RCC Prestige has finally made it to the dock. It spent 5 days anchored outside the port. I guess now we will find out how serious Porsche is about getting these cars delivered before the first of the year.

Wahoo! Please keep us posted as to the time it takes to get into a truck. How far are you from the port?

Getting closer!

Update for me: The Felicity Ace is still due into Davisville, RI on 12.24. I'm in NY so my dealer expects the truck to arrive on the same day it leaves RI. He said he needs about 1-2 days for delivery prep. I'm having them install OAP while it's there too.

A lot if cars being delivered in the coming days and weeks ahead!

Hope you could take delivery before Christmas, mine is still sitting at the port of Jacksonville and I'm already losing 3 nights of sleep because of that lol...

No way before x-mas. It arrives at the port on the 24th. It should be on a truck to NY in a few days after that, so about the 28th or 29th. Then a day or two for prep. Delivery by 12/30 maybe.

Sleep? Who can sleep? When the car comes we can sleep in them.

Is it normal for the vessel to not report in for 6 days? The last known position is like in the middle of the Atlantic and it should've reached Halifax a couple days ago now.

If you're on a free account, yes. It's out of range from the ports so it cannot get any updates, satellite however it should receive a more up-to-date position, but you gotta pay for that.
