My car is on a ship heading to the west coast near SF and then truck to WA.
Anyone else on their way to west coast?

I'm on one of NYK newest ships, Wild Rose Leader. It was built early this year and it's currently waiting in line to go through the Panama Canal. Scheduled for passage Friday, July 28th and is due to arrive into Benicia August 8th. Once cleared, headed to Oregon. Hope to have it mid August.🤞🏼

My GTS 4.0 is also currently on the Wild Rose Leader to be offloaded at San Diego -> Pasadena, then I'll drive it home in Silicon Valley

Looks like our cars are on the same ship. Ship tracker still shows WRL as getting close to entering the Panama Canal yet TYD shows it being just off the coast of southern Mexico 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hey buddy...I'm in Oregon too.
Glad to hear you're getting your car soon.
I just spec'ed mine out at the swanky new Porsche Design Center by my place downtown.
I have a January delivery and I'm reluctantly trading in my 981S next week.
Hoping we cross paths so I can see your car and say hi.

Yes, my Cayman GTS 4.0 is on that ship!



I watched it go through the Panama Canal this morning on the Vessel Finder map, that was fun.

Heading to a dealer in LA and eventually here to me in Chicago. Getting close!

Sounds great! We actually rented out the Porsche Studio for work yesterday! We were the first group to rent it out! Amazing space.

Hi n4v4nod, we are both on the same ship. TYD is showing the boat along the coast of Mexico and not making its way through the Panama Canal. Is TYD a red herring or is the truth somewhere in between?

TYD ship position isn't accurate. It simplifies the route and just positions it as if it moves the whole journey. Until today it was anchored almost a week. It has since just made the passage into the pacific.

Anyone know what ship left on 7/25? I tried using the instruction above to look in TYD but I can't find an api.porsche file that has the order information.
