Official Waiting Room for 718 Spyder / GT4 / GTS Delivery...
#5536
Hello, guys!!!
I'm a big fan of Porsche, especially of 911 series. For me, the Cayman/Иoxster family seemed like a simplified version of the 911, but recently I changed my mind. Now it is difficult to order a new Porsche in Russia due to sanctions, but I was lucky to find a 25th anniversary Boxster on the dealer's stock.
This car is in my favorite GT-Silver color, as are my 992 Turbo and 991 Speedster Heritage edition. Perfect match! My wife wanted a convertible for a long time, and a Speedster has a manual transmission, so this Boxster will drive
I'm really looking forward to the delivery and the start of the ride.

We had perfect Spyder weather for about a week, and now as delivery draws near (maybe this week) this happens.
I guess in the Pacific Northwest you either drive your cars in the rain or you don’t drive them at all 🤣

So here's a weird one. Hestia Leader arrived in San Diego yesterday and TYD has said for two weeks that my car was on it. Stayed in port in SD for about 10 hours. TYD never updated to show arriving in port or anything other than "On Vessel." It has now left San Diego and is currently in Long Beach and my car still shows as "On Vessel." WTF? Could it stop in SD again on the way back to Europe? Is TYD just that far behind?

Hestia Leader is unloading Mercedes Benz vehicles in Long Beach today, then up to Port Hueneme tomorrow to offload BMWs and MINIs.
My guess is that not too many Porsches were on our ship, at least not a full load.
Hestia Leader will head to Japan after Port Hueneme.

My TYD shows the same thing - on Hestia Leader, but NOT yet in port. I trust that our cars are on the ground in San Diego and that TYD will catch up in the next day or so.

I hope mine wasn't parked too close to any of the MB's or BMW's. Last thing I need is for my Spyder to contract some of that mojo.

My "Discover Current Phase" is bugged and stuck at step 1. I was super bummed that I didn't get any pics. 😭 Luckily, I'm also a web developer and I've located the images in one of the payloads. If you didn't get your cars "baby pics", you may still be able to! 😲

SA just called and said car has been released for transport to dealer. TYD now shows "Port Processing." Not sure I can wait until I get back from vacay if the car is sitting at the dealer with my name on it. Dammit.
