When I called, I told the CSR that my SA was on vacation, and I didn't feel as if he applied my email "Porsche ID" to my order. She took my info, passed it along and viola, I was in the waiting room hitting refresh on TYD every chance I had!

ps... dont take no for an answer when calling PCNA.. it takes them two seconds.
So is TYD only for US customers or do others get to share in the excitement? I didn't think (for example) Canadian customers had access to this?

My TYD just updated to Port Processing. I too have a delivery date of 1/20, but my SA will be on vacation. Trying to make arrangements to handle the paperwork ahead of time and still pick up the car IF it lands by the 20th. From another post, it took 7 days to get from the Benicia port to the dealer and I have the same dealer he did, in Walunt Creek, about 15 miles away.

So did my TYD... Just updated to Port Processing about an hour ago.. From previous post.. I am seeing it takes as quick as 4 days from date ship enters port up to 6/7 days as long as the vehicle is not held @ port for update/correction etc..

What is recent experience with Benicia Port from someone who recently has gone thru this?

My car was delivered to Benicia Port and my car was there for about a week or so. However my car was trucked down to LA PEC so any delays could have been due to that.

My car has been at the port for almost 2 months now. Not sure why it's stuck. There has been so many ships but for some reason my car doesn't make it on the ship. Starting to get frustrated now.

wow. And I thought I had it bad at 35 days in Emden. You are in the homestretch. Sure would be nice if we could find out the cause of some of these super long delays

I agree. It would be nice if we knew what the delay is for. Someone mentioned in another thread that it could be the Bose amp.

No, at least when I spoke to him last. It was early December.

Mega-fast port processing out of Baltimore. My CGTS is actually IN Chicago! WOW!

I never was able to get any production pics out of TYD--even with the walk-through guide...but NOW, I have 2 phone pictures from my SA!

RY goodness, silver wheels, black calipers.
