ahh yes, sorry, I did not see you named that ship. Yup, all good for East coasters that make that boat. Not long now for you now!

 

Bad news for me today. My GTS arrived at the German port on March 3rd and originally was supposed to leave the port on March 4th with dealer delivery expected on March 26th. I didn’t get any updates for a week and today I get the update that the car isn’t supposed to leave the German port until March 26th and delivery is expected April 15th now. I don’t know how this happens when the car is already at the German port.

 

There appears to be a fairly sizable backlog at the port in Emden. A LOT of cars are getting released to the shipper and sitting in Emden for a few weeks before getting on a ship.

Pssst.... Emden IS the port in Germany.... That's where the cars go after leaving the factory to be loaded on the ships. The Port of Emden

 

my bad lol

 

It's ok, you're new here

 

Exactly. There are a bunch of cars that show as having arrived at Emden and there are a bunch like mine that only have the "released for transport" step set to red. I'm hoping they're all just placeholder statuses for cars sitting at or near Emden waiting to be loaded on a ship.

 

Yes, its is. 'Released for Transport" basically means its time at the factory is done and somewhere between in route to the port or at the port ready for ship when a ship is avail. I believe "The arrived at German Port" is just once it reaches a certain stage at the port (a scan or the like). It's why if your step 7 date has passed in TYD, that grayed out date just stays vs. a future date dropping in its place. If an expected delay, the gray out date changes are then applied for step 8 and beyond.

On a side note when this similar thing happened with my Macan (no TYD but my SA always updated me weekly with step and eta date changes thus I could keep an eye on it with the ships), my dates were pushed out in a similar fashion to what we are currently discussing and then all of a sudden it was on an earlier ship then the last set of projected dates indicated. So as some have said, often kind of like placeholder dates with all of this.

 

Hit my freeze date today (11 March) for C2S, a strange mix of giddy excitement and anxiety 😂😂. Production starts 31 March per TYD.

 

Hi Everyone,

I just noticed that my GTS build was pulled forward a week. Freeze date was 3/19, now showing 3/14. I’ll take this as good news given all the delays, but I’ll also take it with a grain of salt.

I’m hoping this means nothing in my build has any expected production delays. Here’s my build code in case anyone is interested in seeing the options. PPWM4SI5

best of luck to everyone, especially those of you who have a car sitting at the port waiting to get on a ship - those delays are outrageous. I’m hoping things clear up in the next month so my GTS can sail through, no pun intended!

 

I am not doing PPF, but will do a ceramic coat. In 10k miles on my previous 911, the chips were minor. Decided I was going to just buy some Dr. Colorchip. Well, in the 1300 mile ride home from PEC Atlanta, I did get a chip. Cherry popped. I will fix, and it really won't bother me. Cleaning and claying now, ceramic during the week.

Very happy with Bethesda too, and drop in whenever I'm in Pike and Rose. Honestly, my only complaint about them is the the snack bar switch from m&ms to trail mix. Bring back the m&ms.

 

According to the tracking map in vessel finder, the Glovis Sunrise is moored in port. So it’s more in line with the original schedule vs the new 13th date that appeared the other day. Within a few days anyone that had hopes of being on this ship should hopefully have a better idea if they make it or not.

 

At which stage in the process is the VIN assigned? Also, where would you see the VIN when it is assigned?

Thanks!

 

My VIN showed up in the my.porsche view order page the week it started production, so between steps 3 and 4
