My friends came in was one of the cars caught up in the engine replacement. Recall last year. It's at the port in the US for six solid months. Outside. When he finally get the car it was no worse for the wear.

My TYD updated dates, it's not good news. I just got bumped back over a month. Not happy.
My vehicle (a 992 Agate Grey S Cabriolet) is also sitting in Creutzwald with Tramosa France. It has apparently been there since shortly after it was released for transport on February 13th (Friday the 13th). TYD is showing the same upcoming milestone as yours (4/24 at Emden) with departure from Emden on 7/15 and arrival at local entry port on 8/6. From prior posts, it seems that the Creutzwald-destined cars all completed manufacturing in early-to-mid February. So unless there was some sort of major adverse event (such as a hail storm or train derailment) that would cause damage to 120 cars, I am thinking/hoping they weren't sent there for repairs of damage in transport. My SA has been unable to obtain any further information/explanation for the detour to France. Having to wait to an additional 5 months (or longer??) beyond the original delivery date is very frustrating for all involved. But a larger concern is whether such an extended delay could impact the quality of the car. It appears that the cars are outdoors, and exposed to the elements. And sitting idle for 6 months after manufacturing is completed might not have the same effect as aging a fine wine. Perhaps someone reading this post might have an informed opinion of the realistic prognosis regarding potential quality vulnerability. If so, any insights would be welcomed.

Sales advisor. AKA your dealer.
Mine did the same thing yesterday along with many others. It just seems like are artificial 1 month punt. I'm hoping over the next week when 2 boats will be leaving for the east coast, some of these dates revert back to something better. Maybe just wishful thinking but my TYD dates jumped out earlier a bunch an then reverted back a week later.

got it, ok will ask him. So unlucky to end up in that Feb drama to France. Very weired. I’m starting to think about cancelling everything… between the bad economic data and the new 992.2 coming soon
, and no 911 to enjoy the summer i’m not so sure i want to wait august.

My GTS goes into production next week. TYD still shows dealer arrival in first week of June (SoCal). I really hope it doesn’t delay for some reason. Is the France fiasco limited to the batch of cars from February? Are others with more recent builds getting their cars without delay?
