What was the first build week for 992s for the North America market? When did they start to arrive at USA west coast ports?

I was split between Red and Green for the seat belts. Chose green as its my favorite color
I would've loved to add the contrast stitching and Sports design pack, however, the high duties and taxes also affect the individual options equally. Contrast stitching with interior trim package is $9000~ and the sport design package roughly adds $11,000~. A little too steep IMO and I had to pick and choose my options wisely to keep the costs somewhat reasonable.

Are appointments still in place for those who will take delivery at LA Porsche Experience Center? There were earlier reports in this thread that some had made appointments beginning on Oct 1.

Attended a 992 Launch Party in Los Angeles. Looking at the Park Assist camera tucked under front bumper, and wondering how its view may be (or not) impaired by front license plate for USA cars? Can anyone post any pics with USA trim front license holders? Hopping US OEM front license holder does not sit so far up as to protrude (even more) unattractively.

My car is currently being transported to Emden. Hope it can catch a boat soon to Jacksonville.
Tried looking up the shipping schedule at http://www.pwl.de/en/services/shipping but their schedule isn't up to date.

Hope this helps. I was only auditioning it and haven't actually attached the license plate so I can't verify for sure that it wouldn't interfere with any Park Assist camera, but given this bracket came from the factory I don't see how. It doesn't seem to sit too far up and the curve of the bracket fits the curve of the front hood rather nicely.

Default Software Update on Early Builds

My 992 4s (an early production build) is sitting at the port in Jacksonville, where it has been since May 20 2019. My dealer now tells me that it needs a software update that won't be available until October 4, 2019 and then, once the update is complete (however long that takes), it should be shipped to Atlanta in a "couple of business days". Has anyone else heard about a software update for early production builds? Getting accurate information out of Porsche is maddening.

My car has been at the dealer for two weeks waiting on some type of recall related to the battery. It sounded like they were waiting on physical parts, but it may also be software. My car was built at end of May

So I got tired of the hold at port for my Gentian Blue so Porsche Beachwood happily sold me this beauty! Couldn't be happier.

It's Carrara White Metallic. Has the sport package, premium package, sport side skirts and front and rear as well. I couldn't be happier.
