My car arrived at the dealer today, so it took about a week from arrive in port to arriving at the dealer.
First thing I'll be checking is whether it has all the needed buttons, and in the correct locations!

The Glovis Companion arrived in SD on 12/20 and discharged a bunch of Porsches. Some were delivered quickly. The rest were embargoed as a result of PCNA's decision to freeze deliveries until after the 1st of the year.
Some of those cars were released for transport on 1/2. On 1/7 the Artesia Leader arrived and dropped off another load of cars. There were a lot of GT3's on both boats - which require special trucks for delivery.
And then the Arizona auctions happened, further tying up delivery trucks.
I think the logjam has now been broken. I've been eyeing two different cars at my dealer in SoCal. One (a 991GTS) arrived on 12/20 and wasn't delivered until 1/8. The other arrived 1/7 (a GT3), was released for transport on 1/9, and was delivered 1/13. Between 12/20 and 1/7, there were at least half a dozen other ships disgorging large numbers of cars onto the dock in SD. I expect any remaining Porsches from these two ships will be delivered in the immediate future. The further from San Diego, of course, the longer the delay in shipping.
I feel everyone's pain!
