This is my first white Porsche. What do you think of the standard white? How does it compare to other whites?

Yes, very lucky. My Targa got to Eden 4/26 the day after SFL Conducted departed so i sit twiddling my thumbs hoping to make the Siem Conscious which is currently anchored just outside Emden. So timing does really play into the overall schedule.

Chalk and white metallic look more Grey specially in a cloudy day. Standard white always looks bright white and super easy to maintain as it doesn't look dirty. Also standard white is very easy to touch up. I went back and forth between other bright colors yellow, python green and white for this car just for a change from previous white cars and to me white always stands out and still a winner. It's a classic. You will be very happy with it and people always comment on it. Lastly it makes the 992 look wider coming down the street which is always a good thing. All my personal opinion.

Thank you, I love hearing this. I never thought I’d fall in love with what has been called a “boring color”. I always thought that a white Audi SUV was gorgeous not boring. I’m having the same thought with the T.

My 4 GTS is in the SFL conductor and will be in the US tomorrow. What a long wait... Looking forward for my dealer’s call now

Porsche 992 has one of the best proportions of 911s and white on a 992 is no way boring or refrigerator white. Its very classy, pops on the road and has a very sporty look showing all the lines perfectly and matches the black pieces around the body and front/rear bumpers. Enjoy your brand new white Porsche in good health. Share more photos when you can.

For those on the SFL Conductor the ship has reached Davisville Port in Rhode Island. According to what I've found, next stop Baltimore. I'll have to wait a couple of more weeks since my destination port for this ship is Houston...then on a truck ride to my dealership. Congrats to all who have cars arriving today!

My first Porsche was white and it was so clean, simple and understated looking. I look back at pics of it and love how pure it looks.

Default Port of San Diego

Has anyone else that had their car on the RCC Compass that made it to San Diego last Monday 5/1 received an updated on their car leaving the port?

or anyone else at the port of San Diego in general?

just wondering what the current timeframe is to make it out of SD. Ive had cars make it out of San Diego in 2-3 days time on previous orders. Not the case this time around.

Thanks

Mine was on the prior ship (Pheonix Leader) and was in SD for about 10 days. No issues, just back up.

Update…my TYD has been jumping around similar to everyone else it moved up to 5/5 after the car arrived at Emden and I was hopeful I jumped the line and caught the Glovis Superior but this morning it jumped to 5/22 which doesn’t line up with anything above. Thinking it must be Glovis Corona if I’m lucky.

anyone else waiting for Benecia boat? Waiting is the hardest part.

My car was on the RCC Compass and made it to the dealer Saturday. So, the delay in port was from 5/2 to 5/5 (that's when TYD reported it was headed to the dealer). Gaudin Porsche here in Las Vegas had 11 cars come up from San Diego on Saturday.

According to the TYD site, My T build was completed on the 3rd and arrived at the shipping port yesterday. TYD was updated today with shipping departure scheduled for the 22nd of this month. My ship to port is Houston and I don't currently see any scheduled outbound ships headed there. Looks like I need to hunker down for a possible agonizing wait...
