I am in L.A. and mine just got on Asteria Leader at 12:17. One stop at Southhampton then San Diego.
Next vehicle carrier coming to Emden is Felicity Ace on 12/7 (destination unknown)

 

Was the SFL Conductor originally scheduled to arrive in Houston on Dec 8th? I was expecting an arrival two weeks later based on feedback from Porsche.

 

Screen this thread for schedules posted. The next ship hitting Baltimore is the Siem Aristotle leaving Emden December 3/4 and arriving in Baltimore December 17/18. I hope to be on that ship if the schedule is correct.

 

Thank you. Would take a minor miracle to be on that ship if I arrived in Emden yesterday. One can only hope !

and as i say that, my TYD just went from arriving at my dealer on January 9th, to now 10 days later.

 

TYD now says my delivery is pushed 1 week to 2/4/2022 even though I am on Asteria Leader as of now, ETA San Diego TBD.

 

Yeah, seems like the TYD is bumping things back a little. I'm hoping for the 3/4th boat or the 7th or 8th, but it's saying 12/24/21....

 

For those on the SFL Conductor - It has unloaded all cars in Port of Baltimore (Sparrows Point) and is underway to Houston. Cars in Baltimore will go through clearing over the next couple days (hopefully) and then get picked up for transport.

Should - if transport is not delayed, be at your dealer within about a week for those that just got dropped off in Baltimore!

 

What are your thoughts on the wheel hazard protection. Repairing rims isn’t fun, but $2500 for 5 years seems a bit steep. Thoughts?

 

Anyone seen a VW December export schedule for Emden?

 

i have the same question. I can buy a lot of tires for 2500.

 

I think it's highly dependent on where you live, how frequently you drive the car, etc.

My car is now my daily driver and the roads are terrible in the Northeast, so getting it was a no-brainer for me based on how expensive wheels and tires are for a 911 (especially with the 20''/21'' setup). Even if I never use it, the price is worth the peace of mind it gives me.

 

If you had damage from a road hazard, wouldn’t your auto insurance cover that?

 

In my experience, comprehensive covers objects that hit the car from the air or from another vehicle (like if something falls off a truck and hits your car). But if there are objects already on the road and you hit them and they damage your car, comprehensive coverage won’t cover that. I had first-hand experience with that at least with my insurance company.

 

My auto insurance should cover most of the damage, but I also have a $1,000 deductible. I think my wheel/tire insurance is more comprehensive in terms of cosmetic damage, and there's no deductible. So I think it really just comes down to personal preference. I'm the type of driver who worries about everything and would hate any sort of cosmetic damage or slight bend in the wheel, so the extra coverage was worth it to me, haha.

 

It worked! I complained about out of date info and got an email with the latest. Image shows West Coast and file also has East Coast schedule. Hope this helps.
