About six week away from receiving my new C2S which is just about to hit the open ocean after sailing through the Irish Sea for the last day on Shanghai Highway and today I just sold my current DD off to a local dealership. Gone now is the 2009 Mini Cooper S Clubman, manual transmission, British Racing Green and lots of fun to drive ... I'm back to driving a 2004 Acura MDX while I wait out the remainder of the delivery period. Was hard to give up the Mini ... did a reasonable job of keeping emotions in control while doing it but it will probably hit me over the weekend as I find myself at a loss for some immediate driving pleasure.
So, back to tracking a ship to keep my mind occupied ... oh wait, its just about out of AIS range so there will be nothing to track for the better part of the next 6 days
In the end, it will definitely be all worth the over six month wait

Turns out it's super easy. I canceled my LA PEC delivery today. They were looking to schedule deliveries in February for my car that arrives in Benecia on the Shanghai Highway (~12/6). LA PEC delivery would be cool, but it's just not worth a 2 month wait (to me). Option canceled; no cost.

I want to stress to all those who are picky about their paint, DO NOT let the dealer wash your car - ever. Esp if its a black car. I took mine in for service and did not realize they were going to wash it afterwards, and hence did not tell them not to wash it. It came back with swirls / scratches all over my ppf film. The dealership "detailers" have no clue how to properly wash a car. I'm sure mine used the same low quality mitt and same soap and water to wash 10 other cars before he got to mine. I learned this lesson the hard way.

They just removed it from my options list; said that the car would be re-routed to the dealer when it arrives in port in December. Seems easy ... I hope nothing gets messed up!
Atlanta coordinates the PEC LA scheduling. The woman I spoke with was very nice, but said that LA has been super popular and that their current schedule (1 delivery/day, 4 days per week) is backing things up. I just wasn't willing to wait.

Thanks, but I knew the status updated as you have shown but it has still not made it into dealer inventory, and it appears it has been 10 days since it got into port. I guess what I was getting at is that my car should be in port tomorrow but there is no way to tell when it will get to the dealer - it has to get there by 11/17 for me to pick it up before I leave.

After a bit more research, I discovered that Shanghai Highway is scheduled by K-Line to stop at Charleston SC on Nov 18 and eventually reach Yokohama on Dec 20. This all seems to fit with the PWL schedule for VW. So, after its Halifax stop on Nov 14, we now know that the ship will also stop in SC on its current voyage.

RE cancelling PEC Delivery
"Delivery Cancellation: A cancellation fee will be applied to orders once they are within 2 weeks of the delivery date. This will be in addition to the cost of transporting the vehicle to the purchasing dealer."
https://www.porsche.com/usa/motorspo...ournewporsche/
So, Porsche charges a fee when cancellation is w/in 2 weeks + charges you to transport to your local dealer.
IDK what happens if you cancel b4 the car gets on a ship @ Emden, I think no fees or transportation charges, since it s/b just paperwork.
If you cancel when the ship is in the middle of the ocean but, still more that 2 weeks from delivery? Maybe no fee but, you must pay any costs to transport the car from the port to your local dealer?
