I am also in Vancouver area and waiting for my gt4 around similar time frame. It has been sitting in Halifax for a few days now and will be loaded to a next available closed truck.

I was also on prob same boat as you (Siem Aristotle) and based on how my Golf R was just loaded with others from BC, I am guessing we might be moving at the same time. I don't believe there is anyway to track it, other than assume the internal summary will state In Transit (which my VW one does now). I haven't seen my Porsche summary lately but whenever you guys start moving from Halifax I assume my GTS4.0 will as well.

PS My Golf R only sat for a few days in Halifax last week before being in transit now, and that moved up delivery by an entire month. I am interested to see what happens to my Porsche.

That’s a giant leap, imo. Before the car was built, due to all the delays and global drama, my inner paranoia was always whispering in my ear I might not ever get the car. It would always stay just out of reach, until the model got canceled. Now that it’s actually built, the weight of doubt is totally gone. Dealing with a known quantity like shipping is trivial, in comparison. At least for me. Now I can actually revel in the excitement!

SA and TYD both say I will exit production tomorrow (4/8) Close to switching to stage 2, shipment tracking. Off to search for ship schedules. :-)

I'm still sitting in Emden waiting for a ride since March 21st. TYD says my target date for getting on a vessel is April 15th but I haven't seen any information on what boat that might be. All of the schedules I've seen end with the Glovis Champion that's presently sitting in Bremerhaven having left Emden a couple days ago.

Any chance this vessel leaves Bremerhaven and hits Emden again for an encore performance?

Vessel headed to the West Coast of US, but my car will offload in San Diego.

EDIT: Looks like Glovis Champion is headed north to Hamburg and then back south. Maybe Emden again is a shot.

Gral San Martin sitting in Emden now; arrived last night. Who gets on and who waits for the next boat (if anyone)? How long do they normally stay in port to unload/reload?

My SA told me that my CGTS will be sent by train... it's possible that GT4s gets special treatment in way of enclosed truck shipment.

I feel like the Glovis Supreme was at Emden around four days if that is any indicator.

Poking around online...found this 2020 AM Vantage with 12k on the clock for about what my car's MSRP will be. I could probably drive my car from the dealer over to this place, drive away in this JAW DROPPING Vantage, and $20k+ in my pocket. I won't, but...hot dayum that car is pure sex. My name is Bond...James Bond.
