Agreed...but where did I say that? Also what "super" car can you get for $100k?

@PhilH930 @2008cayenne Reading the other “…port delivery hold” thread, another poster confirmed they are on Lake Taupo - see screenshot. To get rid of the backlog in Emden, Porsche must be using various shipping lines outside of their normal ones. Definitely check with your sales reps to look in their system to validate the ship with certainty. Good luck!

Did you receive an email notification from Porsche that your car left Emden around the time Lake Taupo departed and that’s why you think your car got loaded? If your car was loaded, your sales rep certainly will have the ship name in their internal tracking system so check with them. Good luck!

Trying to figure out which boat my car is on at the moment (not great at readng source code), but it IS on a boat and should be here soon! Its either the Amethyst Ace or SFL conductor.... Is says it left Emden on 3/18.

The source code hack doesn't seem to work any longer for identifying your ship. The only option now is to ask your SA to confirm in the PSVMS.

If it left 3/18 it would have been the SFL Conductor

Default Good News for Cars going to Baltimore

My SA reached out today and sent the map of Amethyst Ace. I informed him that I have been tracking the boat, but figured that it would be redirected due to the bridge collapse.

He stated it will not be redirected, as its port is south of the damaged bridge!!!

So now I'm thinking Guards Red. Thoughts, given my configuration?

looking good.. the Carrera T thread is a better place for this discussion

I am supposed to lock on 4/1, I still feel as if it could all fall apart at the last minute. I am pretty confident in my options list after all the research done here and the Nick Murray videos, the things I want and the things I don't want.

I've got a C4S in production and wish I could have gotten the extended-range fuel tank, (not an option with all-wheel). A couple of comments which I'm assuming you've thought about but just in case. The wheels look better than the standard wheels but take time to clean. The sunroof when open is on the outside of the car. I thought of the dash cam adder as I wanted to use the system/wiring for a radar detector but my SA said it's not compatible with a radar detector.

Baloney, you can wire a radar detector using the power and ground from the dash cam wiring. There are a lot of videos on YouTube that show you how to do this. Your SA is incorrect.

NYCA, comment was for you:
Personally I would (and did) skip the power steering plus. I’m also a sucker for the special interiors (Exclusive Manufaktur Leather Interior would prob be the best replacement here). But after these changes that puts you at a higher price point.

But this is just what I would do, do what you want it’ll be great.
