Completion date estimated at 8/30. Figure another month to get to the dealership in Phila?

Maybe 6 weeks: A week to get on a ship, 3 at sea, plus up to 2 more weeks to clear customs and get on a truck and arrive at the dealership. Anything less is a bonus!

Tianjin Highway took 10 days to get from Emden to Davisville. It then anchored outside port for another 3 days for a total of 13 days

That sounds about right, however my cars get unloaded in Houston, so it takes a bit to round the keys and get into the gulf, adding another week.

True. But I would imagine the port for Philly would still be Davisville

Interesting update. The salesman is saying that because it's a 2014 it will take longer because the EPA or whoever blesses the new model year has to do tests on them first (stick the tailpipe?) So he says he's thinking 7/26 which would mean it will take 18 days from Davisville to Long Island. He said if it was 2013 it would be a lot quicker. Not sure of the validity, since I believe others have already taken delivery of 2014 from Davisville?

I'm hoping he's wrong...

Actually when I think about it, my 996 GT3 was also delayed in port because of an EPA thing. My car was with the first shipments of GT3's in the US. I had Euro delivery in June, 2003 (2nd US GT3 delivered from the factory) and it was shipped after a week of use in Europe. It arrived just behind the first shipment of GT'3 that had been held at port for 2 weeks. A week later, they were able to ship all the cars to the dealers after the EPA thing was sorted out.

You guys were right. She got to the dealer this morning, 1 week after arriving in Davisville.

Appreciate the Website info.
My 2014 C2S was completed on July 9th, and was on its way to Port of Emden. According to the website, the vessel "Grand Vega" is there, and then due in San Diego on August 12th. I'm hoping that my C2S made it aboard that ship. I'd then have it about Aug. 19th or so. If not, according to the website, the next ship, "Phoenix Leader" is not due for two more weeks, on Aug. 26th., which would push me around Sept. 2nd or 3rd (Labor Day).
I've got my fingers (and toes) crossed.

I would say you've got a better than 90% chance of making the first boat. It seems like Porsche is pushing the delivery process through with haste based on my experience
