And now you get to play the game of which boat you'll get on. Just like you play the game of where the next charging station is...

Makes me wonder how they schedule cars onto the boat. I mean, setting aside that they have to filter for cars headed to ports on the boat's schedule, is it in order of arrival at the port? In order of when the order was placed?

While we're at it, what's up with taking 6 days to travel from the factory to the port? Is that because they have to wait to load a full train before it heads up?

No idea. Also remember these ships are not just for Porsche 911s. And not just for Porsche. So the priority mix is complex.

Interested to know why you didn't look for another new build or try and find another allocation?

Went to check if my estimated date for Step 8 had updated to reflect Siem Cicero, and got this. Brings back memories of the umbrella man with old TYD.



Anyone else having issues?

I was literally about to post the exactly same thing! So yes. Looks like our cars must have been sold on the black market or something that that.

Same issue here, but I can see from Vessel Finder that the Supreme Ace has docked in Houston! Fingers crossed the car clears port easily and is with me in Denver next week.
