I hope this doesn't happen since I'm scheduled for deliver on 10/18.

Dual passport solves it for me, but if I couldn't do ED I'm not sure if it would be worth buying a new porsche. ED is THAT much a part of the experience for me.

I thought the issue was nonessential travel from US. Are you sure dual passports solves the issue?

It's now after 6pm in Europe and no new restrictions announced (hoping this is a good sign).

Just had confirmation from Porsche that ED is not canceled. And some news reports about pending Euro travel restrictions still imply that vaccinated travelers will continue to be allowed.

Rules are for non-citizens, you can't stop someone from going back into their own country. Anyway, European Delivery is essential travel.

Yep,

The almighty Dollar and Euro are considered as essential for tourism.

Have you heard much positive info for ATL delivery? Wonder if they may do a group delivery to accommodate people.
Did PEC-ATL for the GT2 delivery and it was amazing.

LOL was not comparing ATL to Europe. OP asked if anyone had a good experience with PEC-ATL...and I did, so I shared.

Not everyone has a week or weeks to enjoy taking delivery of a car. ED is surely the ultimate way to do so if timing permits

Just chatting with you man, bantering. Take it easy. Atlanta actually has amazing curvy roads just past dahlonega all the way into TN/NC.

I took yours as banter, not sure why my response was interpreted otherwise. One of the downsides of text as dialogue.

I'm doing PEC-ATL for my Touring, heading directly to TN/NC for Tail of the Dragon, then back towards Texas. Should be a fun way to put the break-in miles on the car. Although I'd rather do so in the alps
