pgap718 (12-28-2023)
My 718 was shipped to my house in an open car hauler. Big mistake, if you are the car positioned above the cab facing the roadway. One of the headlights on my 718 was cracked presumably by a flying rock from a vehicle in front of the hauler.
Hopefully my new 911 will either be covered completely or in a inclosed hauler.

My 718 was transported from a Florida Porsche dealership to Michigan. It arrived on my street at midnight. I had to turn on my flashlight to inspect the car. I saw the crack in the headlight immediately. My car at the time was backed into the first level of the hauler behind the cab. I knew this wasn’t the original location because the front of the car was covered with dead bugs. The only place on the hauler where bugs could get squashed is the front top of the hauler.
Thinking back on this situation I should have denied delivery. But I was so excited to get my first Porsche. Neither the car hauler company or the dealership would take responsibility for the damage . The 718 was a CPO.
So be careful if you are receiving delivery at a location other than a dealership.

Anyone else seeing a delay from port arrival to transit to dealer?
The Siem Cicero arrived in Houston on 12/19 or 12/20 and car was due to arrive at my Houston dealer on 12/23.
I imagine the schedule did not contemplate the holidays and a potentially large number of cars to process for delivery.
Not sure if others are seeing the same and can confirm whether there's a delay due to backlog, updates, or damage.
The car in question is a C2 GTS.

I should be picking mine up Saturday afternoon. I’m pretty excited.

If a U.S. dealer would be willing to ship a new Porsche via an open carrier I would not do business with them. It is as simple as that, at least for myself.

In any event, that’s good news they finally docked. Wonder how long they will be in port? My SA tells me it’s a 2 day boat ride down to Jacksonville. Then who knows how long to Naples. Car prep? Etc. I’m hoping a week from tomorrow?

Dont know if you saw it on the T site but they are still promising delivery in 2 days. 😤

@rr_gts I am with you... I am also not in rush to get it as winter is here... I am just curious what is your TYD showing? like mine middle of the ocean? I am assuming at some point it will have to update and say still in Emden and never left? SFL Composer is still sitting in Emden so either they will fix the issue it has and left it sail or they are trying to transfer the cars on the ship to another one at the moment...
In all, I’ve been through the order process 3 times, so no big, it’s all tongue & cheek fun with a little excitement.

I expect a little better from Germans, but agree international waters do pose their own problems. But in this day of tracking with computers, one should expect accurate updates? Thank goodness for TUD keeping our expectations real.

you are correct.. I think TUD mentioned this also.. once the car gets the status of left the German port, it knows the distance to the end port, it has a pre-determined number of miles every day or hour that the ship travels... it just divides the two and says xxxxx miles left xxxx days left..

My car also arrived in Houston on that same Siem Cicero shipment. It left Houston early 12/26 and got into Denver late yesterday evening (12/27), so cars are getting through there. My SA said the truck had 12 cars on it total, but I don’t know what the mix of models/trims are. Mine is a C2S, but I’m not sure if there are options that might slow yours down.
I should be picking mine up Saturday afternoon. I’m pretty excited.

My Carrera T was also on the Siem Cecero that arrived supposedly on 12-20 and is going to Memphis. Mine has not left the Houston Port as of now. Throughout my build, all the estimated dates were early or on time until getting to the USA, then it is wait wait, wait.
