Looks good! I'm on the Glovis Crown due into San Diego on October 24th and then Benicia a few days later. But they (Porsche) keeps moving back the shipment date from the port to my dealer. At the moment I'm "supposed" to pick mine up from the dealer on November 13th. it was October 30th until just a few days ago. We'll see. Yours is probably coming into Benicia on November 14th. Do keep us all posted about when yours should be in your hands.
Sara Leader just made port of Cristobal tonight...outside the Canal. Next stop once thru Panama is San Diego and off load for my car. Tentatively due in 19 Oct there. Then PDI and re-shipment here to my dealership. Should be within 45 day window now. My guess delivery by Thanksgiving although according to TDY the car is still at the port at Emden! At this point just watching and waiting as its all out of my hands for a bit.

Does anybody have any information on the CARB Certification. My car arrives in San Diego on 10/19 on the Sara Leader, and I had previously been told this situation would be resolved by October 1st, which apparently is not the case (?). And, once it is solved, will there be a backlog of cars leading to further delays caused by trucking or other issues?

Mine is on Sara Leader too...likely will make port but release will be a few more weeks...some say 11/6 others a little after that. Its not just the CARB but EPA certification and release of all imported 2021 992s at this moment. So depending on how PNCA and Porsche-AG and the govt folks are doing...well there will likely be some delays as they work to get cars through and to dealerships. Worth the wait yes but of course a bit frustrating.
Obsessively tracking your ship is not nearly as much fun when you know that your car will be sitting on the ground in San Diego (or another port) for at least a few weeks after arriving, before being trucked to your dealer.
I'm curious if this problem is unique to Porsche; I have never heard of this problem before with any other manufacturers, though that doesn't mean anything really since I haven't been following other manufacturers lately.
