Same here … After completing production on 3/28, my Turbo S Cab arrived at Emden on 3/31 and was originally scheduled to go out on April 5, but yesterday TYD updated to now show a shipping date of May 12 . I know I’m not alone but I’d love to know why the massive 5 week delay just showed up yesterday!

Gross.

The port must be slammed with Spring deliveries...

Default Me too

My Turbo S just finished assembly and is going to QA/QC testing. I'm really curious to know how long it will take to make it to the USA. Sounds like the hurdle for everyone is shipping.

And date could change again too. As I've said in this thread, mine sat for 5 weeks before it left Emden for Port of San Diego. The sailing date would change a couple times. Then one day TYD showed the boat already on the water a couple days ahead of TYD schedule. Find vessel name on TYD and track it like a kid watching the Santa tracker Mine cruised through Panama Canal after stopping in Colombia (?!). Was also pleasantly surprised the car was at the dealer in L.A. a mere 24 hours after arriving port of San Diego. The wait is excruciating but you'll forget it the moment you see your car in person. Then you can stress about if you should tell your dealer NOT to detail the car because you're sending it straight to PPF. Then which PPF product do you use?! What % tint on the windows. New wheels? Which ones? Stock wheels? OK great, but should you put ceramic on them? Check Rennlist ADM threads. Stress about if you overpaid or brag that you bought at MSRP. First world probs. Don't look back. Congratulations on your purchase! DRIVE and ENJOY your new car!

I love it. Thanks for the info. My dealer has an XPEL guy and they'll do all that plus Ceramic before I even pick it up. I learned my lesson on a different vehicle that you need to ceramic your wheels too. Especially if they're painted. Now it's got fine swirl marks everywhere.

Yes, thanks to COVID we're all in the same boat (so to speak) with MSRP Ugh. But to be fair, I have a 911 now so I'm not going without. What's more is that I looked at getting a Z06 but the dealers want $100k markup! Since I have a relationship already with my Porsche dealer I didn't have to pay over and above MSRP thankfully. Super excited! And definitely 1st world problems. I feel fortunate to be able to do this in this economy.

Yeah, it’s a bummer. But given that a ton of us seem to have gotten the same standard date change I am cautiously optimistic that this is more “placeholder” date than an actual date. I hope to see an update here in the next week or so when the ships at Emden load up that bring our dates forward again.

My car is heading to Chicago with a current Dealer delivery of June 3, so I assume that mine will be dropped off on the East coast to be transported from there. If your car is eventually headed to the Bay Area we may be planned for the same ship with you needing to pop through the Panama Canal to get to you. Fingers crossed that Porsche is just managing our expectations and will give us better news in the next week or two

You should get an email from Porsche for "Track your Dream" which then gets you registered for this info.

Mine finished production yesterday. Curious to hear whether the shipping times have been in line with original expectations or whether a significant delay should be expected. Thanks

I just got an email from track your dream saying today is my freeze date!!!! I have not heard from my SA yet. Is this real or did someone make a mistake? I can’t freaking sleep!
