As of 8:53am it's on the move. Did it unload already?

Yeah its my first new Porsche so that's probably it. I know that "a watched kettle never boils" but I cant help but keep looking for updates!

That's me! I watched 3 hours of RoRo videos on Youtube the other night

Yes, big fan of Spike's podcast and always look fwd to it coming out. I should ask him to do a 'survival kit' episodes full of tips on how to wait out a delivery

Default BOAT DELAYS?

Boat is a week behind schedule at German port.
PCCB not available on this 2023 GT3 slot...anyone else have that issue?

Siem Confucious arrived in Jacksonville on Wednesday and left port Thursday and now headed to Mexico. It is now Friday with no update on TYD showing car has arrived at Jacksonville port. SA said no update in their system either. I hope my car got off the boat in Jacksonville

I don't even have my new car and I already started the process of doing it again. I placed an order for a GT3T in PTS last month. Hope is that I'll have the car sometime in 2024. For now just counting down the days until I'm in my new GTS. Going on three months now without a 911 and I am definitely going through withdrawal

Yup, same here, saw Wed evening it arrived and figured the next milestone/step would update by yesterday - now it's Fri & still nothing. Hoping later today it'll show it landed & know it's a bit soon but maybe by next weekend it's on the way to the dealership here in Atlanta. (Mine is a 718 but figured I'd chime in)

I’m in the same situation …. My Turbo S Cab completed production on 3/28, it arrived at Emden on 3/30 and was supposed to ship out on 3/31. A week later I’ve got no updates on TYD so i assume it’s caught up the same shipping delay that your GT3 is.

Well I'm certainly glad to hear this from others - I was worried my car was on its way to grab some margaritas en route to me! I had delusions I'd be heading to the dealer tomorrow when SIEM Confucius docked on the fifth - maybe next Saturday then.

Love this! This has been my mind for the last 2 weeks since I got word my car entered the SD port. They must be backed the hell up because my dealer is only 80 miles away in OC area and it's not expected to get there before 4/14. And thats just an ETA, the dealers have no goddamn clue or control over the port inspection process and trucking schedule. It kind of blows my mind that they aren't part of that process...
