I am of the opinion there must be a massive load of cars going to Texas, and the middle of the Country, and one has to wonder with the ongoing Trucking Shortages if it is just easier unload some at each port. I wondered if the ship was stopping somewhere else like Savannah, Jacksonville, or Ft. Lauderdale/Miami ports , so thanks for that info. Post pictures so I can be envious of you and that Baltimore port disembarking , ha!

Well, it was one one very long wait for me (early March build), but SHE IS FINALLY HERE! Can’t believe I just took delivery to one of the last ever GT4’s.

Good luck on the rest of your journeys in here! She’ll be by your side before you know it.

My CGTS is on the Crystal Ray (according to Joey @ PCNA, but not indicated on TYD, which still thinks Leipzig ED didn't happen last month).

Manual991 Which port does it say is the final one for your car? My TYD is not updating at all.

@n4v4nod I thought the same for RR7, though car corals are sold out already to park on the flat pavement or grass, so no way I'm going to park my P-car on the dirt hill. Anyway my light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter ...

First off, I agree to not wanting to park in the dirt at RR7, it gets messy!

I see the car being delivered to a dealership in LA and your location shows as Honolulu, so do you have to purchase from the mainland and ship the car home?

Crazy that it has been almost a year! If everything will go according to plan I will take delivery of my '23 Spyder in Leipzig in about 3 weeks... So excited

I have been living in Honolulu part time the past couple years, but mostly reside in Silicon Valley/San Jose so will drive the car back there. But the larger answer is, as you all know, it's whatever dealer you can find an allocation from, then you go from there

This will be my 4th Rennsport and have never had to park on the Corkscrew hill w/o corral parking. The non-corral parking would give Werks a run for its money any time. Planning on taking my CGTS as someone once said "dirt don't slow you down". Btw - congrats on getting your car so quickly. I still have to wait until after Car Week to get my car.

Were you on Wild Rose Leader or Demeter Leader? When did it arrive to port? I was on Demeter and am waiting at San Diego on 8/9. Also will be driving back from LA to the Bay Area.

My car was on Wild Rose Leader, and it arrived at San Diego on 8/5 then sat at the port for the week and was finally transported to the dealer this morning, 8/11. Good luck with your timeline!

Port release is solely reliant on Port capacity and backlog of cars. TYD and Dealer tracking is purely estimates. I've seen times all over the board. Wild Rose Leader unloaded almost 800 cars at Benicia, but there are constant ships arriving. A friend of mine had his Spyder delivered and it took 16 days. Hoping mine is sooner.

It's funny, as soon as your car is offloaded from the ship, ship tracker, who cares. And similar, once it hits the the dealership, TYD, who cares. LOL
