PTS Black Olive, estimated delivery date April at PECLA.
ordered June 2022
Superb. The yellow PCCB calipers go so well with that olive paint. Red calipers would have been awful.
Did you go for yellow deviated stitching on the interior?

I went with truffle brown with chalk deviated stitching. I added the 930 package too. Very excited!
I'm pulling up to Emden now after completing European Delivery. What do you think my wait to get on a vessel will be?
Well if my car and Remington's car serve as an example, it could take a month or longer for a boat. Keep the faith because some cars seem to go through quicker for some reason. I'm guessing where you are going to and how many other VW's and Audi's are going there too has an impact.
My car has been sitting at the Port of Davisville for nearly 10 days, released for transport for over 5 days, yet no change. Anyone else experiencing anything similar?
It's official! No engine coming anytime soon and now in the process of "buy back"! The car made 201.7 total miles before the engine failed.
I am so sorry! I hope you will be able to come to a reasonable financial agreement, but I bet you are wishing you had the car more than any of that money back... at least that's how I would feel lol

I'm not even involved and this makes me angry. When you first posted about the engine failure I tried to be pragmatic, these things do happen. It sucks and I'm sorry but it sounded like Porsche was at least jumping through hoops to make it right. As somebody who works in international transportation and logistics for a living, I knew this was costing them a lot to airfreight a brand new engine and transmission. But now it sounds like this is going in the wrong direction. Unless you made that the decision not to accept the replacement for your own reasons.
In general, as annoyed as I was with all of the production and supply chain related delays with my own order (>8 months from allocation to delivery) I understood it, because I deal with it daily. What disappointed me is how Porsche handled it, with very little transparency and detail. And your situation is doing little to inspire confidence as to how they handle and mitigate customer satisfaction from their own failures.
I will admit, the thought that my car was two days ahead of yours on the assembly line was also a bit disturbing.
Everyone has been nice right up to the point today when I said looks to be a buy back! The easy layup is lemon once it hits 28 days. Today is 14. It will take 5 day once they get the engine. Once we hit 23 and no engine it's a buy back.The engine as of right now is back ordered even though Porsche said the 4th and then the 8th. It's not coming anytime soon. I had the car a total of 3.5 hours! Never made it home. Very surprised by the lack of product support and concern about returning this car to the street and extreme failure point of 200 miles. What's strange is the computer shows internal failure. They think a bearing was out of tolerance and the engine was eating it self. They'll know for sure when the case gets cracked open. The real issue I have is no once knows how to get an engine. I asked for a 4L engine!! Real question is what do I buy?? Dealing with Porsche is like breaking up with a girlfriend! I just want to get away and they want to drag this out another 4 to 6 weeks! It's over let me go!! LOL
