Hey c_Gio. I reached out to my SA and found out that my car got on a boat today. Unfortunately he did not know which ship but is trying to find out. Since ours were built at the same time, do you know if your car went out today? If it did, can you ask your SA if he knows what ship your car is on? It looks like I might get mine before December! 
Are you west coast?

Yep, San Diego in fact. I looked at the same schedule and am equally confused. When I looked on the website for the port it looks like there are a few car carriers in dock at Emden as of yesterday. One of them is Goodwood, which does not come to SD. The other is Clovis Champion which is not on that schedule at all and may not even ship Porsche's. I reached out to my SA to get an updated copy of my production schedule.

I got the copy of the production schedule. I think my SA may have been confused. The expected date was yesterday but considering the schedule I'm thinking that the actual date is going to be next Friday and be on the Goliath leader.

I got confirmation today that the boat I'm on left on the 16th and then gets in on Nov. 20th. This means that it's on the Glovis Champion. That one is not on that previously posted schedule but it looks like some of the guys with incoming Club Coupes are on that boat as well.

Thanks guys. Very happy. For any working stiffs like me who want a 991 but also have bills to pay, here is the deal I signed: $121k sticker, 60 month lease/10k a year, $2700 drive off, approx $1650/month lease excl. tax but including 5 years windshield & 6 years rim/tire protection. Lower lease rate w/ US Bank btw. Also lower residual which = higher payment but less negative equity if I flip before 5 years.....

what was the residual and money factor? price paid? price at lease end?
What was the reason going for the lease vs the std 60 mo financing? Reading back through the thread you plan on keeping the car so purchasing out of lease end?
Just curious about your POV since you mentioned it. thanks & cheers
Nice build - congrats.
