yea… me too.
Spoke to my SA earlier today, she mentioned that they don’t expect the cars to come before end of April, maybe that has something to do with this.

Composer pulled out of Houston 48 hours ago. Hopefully we will know soon about the condition of our cars.

Composer/Houston news. Here's the latest directly from Porsche (and I'm paraphrasing and conjecturing) . I got this news very late last night and things may have changed again. The dealer arrival dates we all got for 4/22, 4/15 etc are not accurate. Normally the cars are rolled off the boat and go to PDI. The issue really has to do with Porsche paper work PVMS. The cars need to be inspected before going to PDI. But, to get the cars off the boat the PVMS has to have dates that are more accurate (conjecture and paraphrasing) instead of 01/30/2023 like mine. So Porsche put arrival dates into the PVMS that were closer to the original date just to satisfy the paper work issue. I'm thinking all the cars need to be inspected before we hear accurate news. I hope all this makes sense?

Just spoke to my SA, he said a few cars have been coming in from SD to BH Porsche. Mine is still at port waiting on an amp part for the Burmester. Another car with the same issue got released yesterday, so he said shouldn't be long. He did say that the Bose systems are taking longer. Anyone else hear similar?

So my sense now is that TYD is a lot smarter than we all thought. It must be considering human error along the way and be extra conservative in its estimation. Hear me out, I promise I'll stop posting on the thread soon!
For example: I get a call from our dealer yesterday: The car is here! Yeah! We go there, all excited, ooh and ahh over the machine and now must wait for PDI. All about 14 days earlier than TYD.
At 9:50am I get a call from the SA - I'm thinking he's going to tell me that PDI is complete, but instead hear that they have efff'd it up royally, cracked the windshield, and chipped the paint on the hood. At first I thought it was April 1st and a bad joke at that, but alas, it was real, sad and left me speechless. Went to the shop to assess the damage and hear the how and why and what can be done.
Turns out during PDI one guy left the wipers without blade standing up to snap in a blade, another guy opened the bonnet to get something out. Bonnet and wiper collided, chipping the edge off the bonnet and the wiper, still without rubber blade, snapped back onto the windshield cracking the sh*t out of it.
Bottom line, they happen to have a spare windshield and won't need to repaint the entire hood but think they can touch it up so it becomes invisible. We'll see. I now fear for the dash, the CF roof and the rest of the car getting further damaged while this repair is going down.
Of course, this will take some time....and sadly, quite disappointingly, although they apologized profusely, they did not offer me ANY compensation, not even a crappy coffee mug. That's just cheap considering the price of the car, the damage, the disappointment and the delay they caused.(*) I guess the overall character of car salesmen just has not changed, used or new, high end or middle of the road. Sad but true.
(*) And that is where I think TYD had more smarts / ESP by setting my expectation to a 4/15 delivery...they even sent me two, not one, but two emails at noon today informing me that my car is now on a truck on the way to the dealership. How I wish that were still true....

Damn Zero sorry to hear that! It is rare and good news that they have another windshield in inventory because that could've been a very long delay if not.

I wouldn’t worry about the windshield. Chances are it was going to crack sooner or later with the lightweight glass issue. I’d be more concerned with how well your dealership can hide the mark on the bonnet. Maybe request some photos of the damage prior to their fixing it.

Right, maybe the idea of just walking away is a bit too extreme but I'd at least make sure that dealer will understand that I'm never ever setting foot anywhere near their service in the future. If this happens during a PDI, exactly the same or worse can happen during any maintenance visit.
