Can you imagine the agony to watch your ship go halfway into the Atlantic, then just flip a U and go back to Emden.

Well, looks like you can add me to the list. So far my WP 3RS has been ahead of schedule. Expected to hit port in San Diego 12/24 (Ho Ho Ho!) but now it will sit there for a while....

I know the feeling... my car was also way ahead of schedule... and now just collecting dust somewhere.


Could this be happening because the US government is pissed with the VW group?

Mine was on the Heritage Leader and hit Jax on the 15th. According to the dealer that has my RS and another customer's GT3, both have been cleared with no delay. I'll believe it when I see it.

seems like the news is getting better.

my car was on Heogh Bankok and was in Davisville on 12/10

my SA says the system shows delivery to dealer on 10/11 because I did ED

hopefully it is on its way.

no, I mean 10/11! that's when it was originally due at the dealer before I decided to do ED on 10/31...so the system somehow didn't update, but my car was in Davisville on 12/10, so it is in the USA and may be on the way

Cars that are held have a specific note indicating the quality assurance port hold. If your car doesn't have that you are fine.

hopefully an explanation is forthcoming as to what this quality assurance represents. Leaving customers in the dark and on internal hold is poor business.

Loess have you seen 3RS production restart or just GT3? The last GT3RS completed I can see was on 12/7.

i agree this seems to have only affected November builds as October and December builds seem to have the same expected delivery dates.

They’ve jumped into the 400’s, try 5467. GT3’s and 2RS’s are mostly 2019’s now.

ahh! thanks, what a large jump. Still can’t find my Chalk WP but I’m sure it’ll finish this week. I currently show 1,127 NA 3RS through 12/17.

Loess, are the serial numbers you refer to numbers for US only , US and Canada or world? I have 5224 which appears to have been produced December 4 but car seems to still be in CT production unless system is not properly updated as of yet? Any insights?
