It left Benicia. I left an AirTag in my car after ED and it’s showing that my car is now in a parking lot near a PCNA building at the port. I’m sure it has plenty of other p cars around it for company. It’s been sitting there since late Monday afternoon.

Nice. Do you have any update on TYD? Mine still shows phase 8 left German port only.

Unfortunately not; the day you take ED, TYD ends. I’m surprised that it hasn’t updated, but a buddy with a GT4 RS on the same ship is reporting that his TYD hasn’t updated either. In any case, I’m guessing your car is going through processing in Benicia.

TYD just updated. Hopefully, I can get the car this week before I need to go on a trip.

My car was on this boat also. Got an email this morning that there was a new milestone. TYD silent on the subject. I just looked again and now TYD shows my car also i\at the port. In this case there isn't much more detail lurking for this milestone:

Code:
Object { type: "position", ident: "PortBenicia", latestReportedEvent: "entryLocalPort",...
Broke my right ankle three weeks ago so I'm not in a hurry for the car on one level but I confess to being excited that it's nearly here!

I left an AirTag in my GT3 Touring after euro delivery also. It’s in the same area in Benicia also.

robert's been updating me with this air tag thing for a few weeks. it's been fun.

fwiw our store tends to get 2 trucks at a time so when the cars update to TRANSPREL (released for transport) that's usually an indicator the car will leave once the trucking co has their load. we had 5-6 cars TRANSPREL the other day, 2-3 more yesterday and were told despite docking on the 9th or 10th that the port did not expect to actually start sending cars out until 13th 14th at earliest. We have over a dozen at port now so they won't send us 1-2 cars or even a whole truck (5-7) because of the distance. It's 2 truck minimum

fun fact- the boat docks in San Diego first, and the same trucks pick up and drop off cars to socal stores then drive to benecia and meet the next batch there. so- if this was a particularly heavy boat, they would potentially be stuck shuffling cars to the LA stores for additional time, hence the slower release vs the usual 2 days.

Crazy about the trucks being the same for San Diego and Benicia. I wouldn’t have guessed.

My car got to my dealer, Porsche Monterey, first thing this morning - so roughly a week from arriving in Benicia to Monterey. I was expecting another week, but have a sense of relief that it’s there and in good shape. Low odds against that happening, but non-zero odds.

My car that was on the Sigma made it to the dealership in WA yesterday -- so I guess there are cars from that ship being released.

My 3rs delivered from Glovis Sigma is still holding at the port in quality check process. It’s been 15 days since the process started. TYD shown “Arrival at Dealership” 5/18/2023..
