The app is notoriously lagging and inaccurate but it does correct itself eventually. It is down about 5% of the time.

But do other manufacturers offer this?

Yes many manufactures do. BMW's is excellent and so is Ford's based on personal experience.

Anyone still stuck at Davisville that was on the Sunshine Ace? My car says it’s been processed within a day of arriving but still waiting to leave for the dealer. TYD said last Friday, now next Friday. Are there any stop sales slowing certain specs down?

Email customersupport at porsche com and ask for Track Your Dream access. That’s what I had to do. I waited weeks and weeks and it never showed up until I asked support.

I was at my dealers a couple days ago ... the SM said there is a new inspector at Davisville, and he's going over every panel with a fine toothed comb. Apparently, this is causing some hostage issues holding things up. I can't confirm this, but that's what I was told.

My GTS is on San Martin due into Davisville on 8/20. Can anyone tell me how many days it took to get your Porsche
delivered from Davisville arrival to your dealership? After reading so many stories about delays and misinformation I'm
trying to manage my expectations based on other's actual experiences. Thanks.

The time for me was 8 days from arrival at port to dealer delivery. No port installed options. I had a same day transit time from port departure to dealership. Dealership 80 mi. YMMV

May help others.

TARGA 4S dropped in Baltimore port 8/12 from SupremeAce. At dealer 8/15.

Picking her up Thursday!

Dealer called today saying my car was released to transport company. It arrived in port on Aug 2 and released Aug 16. Should be at dealer within 48 hours (Davisville to New Jersey). FWIW TYD hasn’t updated yet.

Congratulations, I have a GTS on the San Martin also. My dealership about 65 miles from Davisville told me its been taking about a week from the ship docking to arrival at the dealership. Obviously there are exceptions. Unfortunately for me I'm in the next state over from my dealer and have been told they cant do temp tags in the state so I have to wait another 10 days for them to title and register the car, seems crazy. Im trying to get them to release the car to me and have my local detailer trailer it to his shop to do PPF and ceramic while we are waiting for the registration.

Thanks and congratulations to a fellow GTS owner as well! Davisville is about 150 miles away from my dealer who is also one state away from where I live. Dealer will be able to transfer plates from my trade in and as part of our negotiations agreed to provide ceramic coating at no charge. Keep me posted on your delivery and initial reaction to your new ride and I'll do the same.

I was also on Supreme Ace. I’m still showing Port Processing. Ugh.
