My SA is female - I bought her flowers when she confirmed my allocation 🤣🤣🤣

Siem Plato is now at anchor outside the port of Houston. It looks busy there. I hope it gets the all clear to sail in and dock asap.

How long did you Track Your Dream, stay on the "Freeze Point" mark, when the "Scheduled for Production" mark was already reached (4 days ago) ?

My Targa 4S arrived at the dealer today north of Seattle. 1 week after arriving in Benicia,CA. I pick it up up on Wed. TYD still says it's on the vessel. I did get emails to setup porsche connect and an email stating it was in transit to my dealer the same day it arrived at the dealer. TYD stated December 3 delivery. Glad it arrived early.

No way. They should be getting YOU a gift.

I have had a great experience with my SA. And I got a $1k discount on a Targa 4. I plan on giving him something. I offered to pay for a PEC-LA track session, but he is on the EC and could not swing it. So, I think I'll get him something he can use, like an Amex gift card. Pay it forward!

Default Graduating from this Thread

Thrilled to say that my vehicle delivered on Monday and thrilled with the final result. It has been an amazing process from start to finish and wish everyone best of luck and success as their creations get built and delivered. In the end it is well worth the wait as these truly are amazing vehicles and hope all new owners create some memorable driving adventures of their own.

Congrats! Enjoy it.

Did the dealer add clear indicators on the front on their own? or did you supply them / ask them to make the swap?

Default 32 days for my 992 C4S to get from Davisville to Boston Dealer!!!

My 992 landed in Davisville, RI yesterday 11/15/21 on Siem Confucius, the delivery date however got moved out to 12/17/21. My original dates were loading on the ship 11/19 (but it got loaded 17 days early) and delivery date of 12/10, but it got moved out to 12/17. Does it take 32 days for port processing to the dealer ... the dealer is only 51 miles away. My SA is giving evasive answers about port processing time etc. Just getting really impatient knowing the car is just 50 miles away from me and having to wait a month.

Did anybody have their cars on SIem Confucius and if so what are your delivery dates? and second is it really taking this long at port processing ?

Appreciate any response ... this wait is killing me !!!

I emailed Porsche Customer Support regarding TYD being useless for the last 10 days. Here's the response:

"Thank you for contacting Porsche regarding Porsche Track Your Dream. At this time, there is not an estimate available for when the Porsche Track Your Dream process will update to the current status. We apologize for any inconvenience.
We encourage you to stay in contact with the sales department at your authorized Porsche dealership for the most current estimates regarding your vehicle's delivery."
In other words, don't hold your breath.

You can go to vesselfinder.com, trackmyship.com or marinetraffic.com and track the vessel. With a free search it will only give you terrestrial radar status, so you will not get real time updates once the ship crosses the english channel until it reaches close to the US coast.

If you want real-time satellite updates, go to marinetraffic.com and sign up for a 7 day free trial and it will give you realtime satellite status. I did that and it worked. Be sure to cancel the free trial before the 7 days are up, otherwise you will be charged annual subscription of $600.
