Default Average time Boat to dealer?
What are you guys seeing for average times from boat to dealer around the US lately? I know they are all over the place. They have been for me in the past. In July I took delivery of a car the day after the boat landed. This week my car has been siting in San Diego since last week with no news.... Anybody in Socal take delivery this week off of the mighty SS Altair Leader?

Not sure about SoCal, but should be 1-2 weeks.

My car was on the Altair Leader.

My dealer called me yesterday to say that it would get there either on Thursday or Friday at the latest.

So, we'll see...

My RS arrived on the same ship in San Diego last week and the car arrived at the dealership yesterday at 3pm.

the answer is always, TOO LONG...lol

Mine has been sitting at the port of Jacksonville for about a week, hopefully it shows up before the weekend. Otherwise I may need to make a little drive and bust my car out of jail

The biggest thing impacting the time is the condition your car is in when it arrives at the port. If it is subject to a recall does not pass the quality checks or needs paint work it could take several weeks before it’s on a truck.

It's pretty fast unless CARB gets involved in San Diego, then who knows....

Was told about a week from Davisville to NJ.
My 3RS is on the Goodwood and it’s just off Boston today. Should be in port tomorrow 😃

If your dealer is in NorCal, you wait forever for that boat to go almost half way around the world.

edit: just realized how dumb I am, sorry Mine took 3 days from boat to dealer
