Porsche is screwing up quiet badly.
Can your dealer give you a reasonable explanation for this delay? Or PCNA? My recollection is that our 2021 Macan Turbo sat for a very long time in Houston before finally making it to Indiana. But nothing like three months. Such a long wait is hard to understand.

God bless you,

My Houston bound departure date updated from 5/11 to 6/16, which suggests the last boat on that schedule instead of any of the 3 Houston bound ships before it. Bleh.

Same here, although my car is bound for Baltimore. "Arrive at your dealer" date changed from 6/1 to 7/7. Oh well... One more month of interest on those funds in my bank account. #whattayagonnado?

Mine updated from 6/28 to 7/30 delivery. Also it's PECLA so probably add +2 weeks.

I'd rather have one more month of interest in my life then my back account. 😂

It looks like the Sunshine Ace is the next boat to Houston from Emden. Chance our cars can be loaded in 7-10 days. TYD shows my car leaving Emden on 6/16, so I'll have to miss 3 boats to leave that late. (which could always happen)

Has anyone had luck retrieving missed production pictures from TYD? Any hacks with the new UI? I never got my quarter panel shot.

Feeling very lucky after reading all the posts of delays. My GT4 build locked on 3/7, production complete on 4/5, made the LAKE TAUPO on 4/26, arrived in Jacksonville on 5/11. At my dealer now (also in Jacksonville). PPF later this week and pick it up on Friday. Can’t wait.

My wife's and my 718 is still in production (started 5/12, now scheduled to end 5/23) and the indicated departure date for Houston from "the German port" is now 5/31, delayed by a day or two as of today. None of our data points seems to make sense with all the others.

God bless you,

You must be living right! It's actually good to read a success story, for a change.

Last night TYD said our 718 CT was scheduled to end production on 5/23, having begun production on 5/12. This morning TYD said it ended production today and photo proof was included. It is to leave today for "the German port" and arrive there on 5/22. I'm not complaining but this is very confusing. I'd speculate that having two fewer cylinders in the motor cuts days off of the production time but I hope Porsche knew it had a 4 cylinder motor last night. Speaking of speculation, I'm guessing that even the TYD completed dates may be approximations, at least in some cases?

God bless you,
TT

I had my TYD not showing any information months ago. I suggest you call Porsche HQ in Atlanta, they will submit a ticket and have it resolved in a week or so.

I called and spoke with someone - thanks for the suggestion.
They said the reason the picture is missing is because there was an employee that got captured in the picture. That makes sense. Bummer...

I had two pictures missing and one of them was the final assembly one, which I was really looking forward to seeing. I wonder if an employee was captured in it as well.
