My car is just getting to JAX now and my dealer is 4 miles away (not that it makes transport any faster). And as indicated previously, my buddy's RS that arrived on the Goodwood late last week arrived at the same dealer yesterday (at about the same time this thing started). So let's hope for the best.
Received this picture from my SA Duffy Elliott at Porsche Atlanta Perimeter today. Car arrived around lunch and should be ready for me to pick up tomorrow. I asked about the hold and nothing has been said to him about it being an issue.
Wanted to see if my 2018 GT3 was delayed at port
I called the 800 and no mention of a delay. Arrived to port today.
Delivery to dealer last week Dec ~ mid-Jan
If it is a batch i would expect some people will get their cars in the coming days. So we need someone to confirm delivery in the next few days. If that happens then we might be able to conclude it is batch related.
Also, if nobody confirms a delivery then we would wonder if a recall is coming. Is this a problem with current production or a discovery of an issue impacting all cars? So getting anyone to confirm delivery of a car might help put the pieces together.
From what i have heard so far it is quality control issue. Nothing more was said... I dug, got what they got... quality control issue...
Would be useful if Porsche would just tell everyone what the problem is and which cars are affected instead of treating it at top secret information. It will come out eventually anyway, much better for them and their customers if they're just up front about what's going on.
Looks like my RS is effected on by this (a total of 364 GT3 & GT3RS cars in total) and the delivery date is pushed out to 4/5/19 instead of late Dec/early Jan. See the information that my SA sent me today.....

I agree. Unfortunately not the way it seems to work. Why did it take over 7 weeks to build my car. I'll never know. A little upfront transparency goes a long way with customers
I'm curious about my car I just picked up for Euro delivery. Just because Porsche released it to me in Europe, i wonder if that means I'm in the clear or if this issue will show up once the car lands at a US port in a few months???
I assume i can call the 800 number with my vin or commission #.
