unfortunately no such luck. I just checked TYD and it looks like I got hit with another delay. Delivery now shows 12/23 and it won’t be on a vessel until 11/11.
at this point I’d actually rather them delay it further so it won’t get here till interest rates start going down.

are you in north California as well? It looks like everyone who has their car delivered to Benicia port is in the same boat. I got hit with exact same delays as you except my car has been sitting at Emden since 10/07. I’m actually quite annoyed at this delay as I was really planning on driving it around for the two weeks that I took off for the end of the year. It would have been great to just spend some time and just enjoy the car but now I probably won’t get it till end of January since I’m doing PECLA.

I think the worst thing for me is seeing the countdown for it to be on the boat either be passed or see like 2 days remaining and then all of a sudden seeing that same milestone date pushed out 2 weeks. Its happened to me twice now and there's a part of me that kinda believes that this will never happen. I know it eventually will but man, this tracking has definitely give me more anxiety than I've ever experienced when buying a car.

I don't but I remember someone linking a shipping schedule which showed two ships docking in Benicia. one was docking 12/20ish (which falls in line with our new estimated delivery day) and the other one wasn't docking till January.

I got delayed again.
Production Started 9/19 completion just moved again this morning to 11/4 with arrival at dealer showing 12/9.
Seems that this is the last delay I can take in order to see the car this year given the currently published shipping schedule has the last boat leaving Emden on 11/8 and arriving Houston 11/23. Nothing after that on the shipping schedule last I checked, so I'm resigned to wait until January or later at this point.
Honestly I'm looking at a significant Personal Property Tax bill if I own the car 1/1/23 so I'm probably better off if it doesn't show until after that. I don't think having it for a few weeks in December is worth the tax hit.
