how do you know which boat and
when? According to Tyd my car arrived at port yesterday (step 7) and leaves today (step 8). Is that all inaccurate until it gets on a boat?


QUOTE=Sharkblue982;18807412]Mine is going to Baltimore, I’m hoping (if there are no missing parts) it will make SIEM CICERO that leaves on 6/5. It does go to Huston afterwards, but for your sake I hope your car makes the earlier boat.[/QUOTE]

same here. Seems to be a bit of a crapshoot…

No one really knows for sure. I’m guesstimating based on port departure schedule. Next boat leaves for Baltimore on the 22/23 and that’s too early, no way my car is going to make it. It will be 3 week minimum sitting at the port, probably more. So I’m being optimistic that it makes the following boat that leaves in June.

THat is the truth, its a clogged port.
If only anyone had direct contact with a VW export scheduler at the Emden port to know what ships are definitely going out and on which dates and where?

Finally, after some crazy trip through Canada arrived at local dealer.

Very happy with the color combination. Arctic Grey is excellent, and the slate grey on the uppers goes well with.

I have the same schedule as above. was supposed to arrive 6/2. Looks like car has been on the port since 5/8. Any info on the vessel bringing them to East coast. Is it possible they have left the port?

My schedule is moving fast today. Two more steps today!

From what i know, if a vessel leaves the port with your car on it, TYD updates in 24-48 hours mostly, atleast your SC should know of it

Same. Based on google maps it’s about 6-7h drive from the factory to the port. Hopefully by tomorrow it will update to step 7. Then the painful wait at Emden begins. Steps 4-6 seemed to be near real time, maybe a few hour lag.

I am on a similar path. Notice nine says local entry port is Baltimore 6/3 vs your 6/9?

For reference, my car was originally scheduled to be delivered mid January.
That is brutal. Sorry to see that.
I might be on the same track, and my 6/14 Leipzig delivery is looking more and more less likely as each day goes by.
4/24 started production, and then completion got pushed to 5/26. No update yet, even though a few RL members here had the completion date delayed and then advanced again in the last few days.

I spoke with the GM today about the delays on the GT3T I've been waiting for, and he had spoked with the regional manager and overall there isn't a ton of information, but sounds like they're stuck waiting on a part. So it is most likely not damage, but might be specific to GT3Ts at that port. It has been in Benecia, CA since 4/3, and current estimate is about 6/19-6/26 for it to be on its way. Haven't made a final decision yet, but will likely be backing out. It wasn't my spec, I just picked it up, and the ADM wasn't the best, so likely spend my patience on a better deal than on waiting for this one.
