My Porsche just docked in Houston Port (3AM Oct 29). My guess it will be in MN before the end of the week. I head out of town on Sunday. It should be wrapped (xpel) and have new wheels ready to go when I return on the 10th. Excited Maybe I get to see it before I leave...

I am waiting for a TTS, entry port Emden was 10/17, but my SA is not very communicative. How do you all determine what vessel your car is on?

Is it via your SA?

Yes, my SA just told me which ship it is on and the tracking schedule will shop the departure date. Even if he or she only gives you the departure date it is easy to determine which ship it was on when it left port.

Curious that I've not been able to download a newer weekly schedule than the Week 42 schedule that was published on October 18th. I'm interested in seeing what follows Shanghai Highway in case my car doesn't find a spot on that ship.

Same here. I keep looking for an updated schedule, but it keeps downloading the Week 42 schedule whenever I click on the link. The Viking Queen is in Emden now; maybe once it heads out they will update the schedule.

An interesting (but maybe a bit obsessive-compulsive) activity to kill some time -- check out the Google Maps satellite pictures of Emden. It's just incredible how many cars they have in all of the parking lots surrounding that factory/port. It must be a pretty complex logistics exercise making it all work.

Scary to think that your car could get stuck and forgotten out in the corner of one of those many lots.

so if your car is tentatively scheduled to be delivered say in mid/late January, then when is it actually being built in the factory in Zuffenhausen? just rough estimate. sorry first time buyer here and not familiar with how Porsche works across the entire timeline.

My estimated delivery date was 12/28 and my car just finished production today. No word on any updated delivery date.
