I've attached their current schedule (downloaded on 4/26), but it's for boats that haven't left Emden yet, and so I've also attached an earlier schedule that I downloaded about 2 weeks ago (which will show the Dover Highway and the Adriatic Highway).

It looks like these get updated weekly too (since the earlier one is labeled schedule 14, and the latter is labeled schedule 17).
Thanks for this! Looks like my car lands in Houston on 5/14.

With LOJACK, you must notify Law Enforcement and LOJACK if the car is stolen. LOJACK changes the locator beacon frequency and Law Enforcement vehicles have locators in vehicles to recover your car.
You can set a 'Speed Fence' and GEO Fence' but you would have to Set these each time you leave the car, Cancel when you drive the car and I'm still not sure who gets notified?
Let me know if your understanding is different. -Richard
BTW FWIW, I have an outstanding Security Question in to Cobra Telematics that they have not responded to. Porsche Customer Service refuses to deal with the Security Question, differing to Cobra. Rest assured I will get my concern answered!
You get a message within PCC app when 'Speed Fence' or 'Geo Fence' is breached. You define the boundaries one time and can leave them as-is. For example you can mark the area that includes home and work together as your Geo Fence and anytime the car leaves that area you'll get a message in the PCC app. You can change the settings / boundary conditions anytime you want but don't have to cancel every time you drive the car away.

Anyone seen the "Black/Bordeaux Red" interior in real life? I specced this, but I'm very unsure about how it turns out. Some people seem to claim the red is actually kind of pink-ish. I don't want pink interior...

Hi,
I was in two minds to order black/bordeaux red myself but having seen a physical car at my dealers I changed my mind very quickly.

Not that it was pink (it was actually a nice shade of deep red). Just too much red for my linking. If they did 100% of the doors and dash in all black and just the seats in red I may have been swayed but as it sat it was all too much IMO.

I ended up with black/black. Boring but classy and a much safer option as I could see myself getting very tired of huge swathes of red leather very quickly.

Also read somewhere that red doesn't wear that well though I can't tell you how accurate or reliable that is.

My car was released for shipping one week after PDI and landed in Ottawa by enclosed carrier about 2 1/2 weeks later.

Thanks, I'm quite alright with this! I've had a full red leather interior before so I'm not bothered by the amount of it, was just concerned that it would be a lot brighter than what it looks like in the configurator.

The San Diego port has been experiencing delays in off loading cars. Many of the car ships are parked in the Bay waiting for authority to dock. It has caused delays often up to a week. Just the other day I saw two boats anchored in the bay waiting.

The port has been overwhelmed with all the cars coming in from Europe and Asia.

I have been traveling for quite a bit and haven't been online much, but posted a bunch of pictures of the Red Black interior on this thread:

https://rennlist.com/forums/991/9264...l#post13152382

The color isn't bright, it is a nice deep color. I was worried for a while with some of the pictures I had seen, but really like it in person.

Anybody with tracking updates on DOVER HIGHWAY?
My Carrera is on the Dover Highway! That ship is FULL STEAM ahead to Port Houston, May 2nd! My delivery date is May 13th! My salesman told me today it is possible to be at the dealership as soon as May 6th or 7th! He has not been wrong yet. I'm in mid Illinois.

Has anyone seen the graphite blau interior? At one stage I thought of being daring and going w/ Lava + GB leather - then, like Senna01 - I changed to all-black as the safe/classic option.

I'd still be curious to know how blue the grey is.

She arrived in port about 10 days ago and arrived at the dealer on Tuesday. Haven't taken her home yet, waiting on clear bra and brake caliper re-paint to red. For now just some quick snaps of a dirty car....
For those curious about the red color, this is pretty close to real life in this light. So glad about the black carpet!! Seems they flip flop about whether its red or black on certain models. Can't believe its actually here. I was without a car since December, when my last 911 went back off lease (I know, first-world problem to have).
