Mine was supposed to arrive at the port on 5-30. It arrived today 5-25. States departing tomorrow 5-26 but we will see. Headed to River Oaks
That's exactly what happened to me...although looking at the shipping schedule, don't think there is any way that my GTS can get on a ship to Baltimore tomorrow.
For me it looks like Siem Cicero which is still off the coast of Jacksonville, FL.
I'd like to give a shout-out to Porsche of Albuquerque, My SA Eric Diaz, David, and Brandon for a truly memorable delivery experience. My fiancée and I arrived at the dealership to find a Porsche curtain draped over our car, front and center in the showroom. After completing all of the paperwork we were treated to the unveiling of my Racing Yellow C4S! I must have looked at my configurator photos a thousand times, and my factory photos an equal amount. Not to mention the fact that both my fiancée and I can tell you the exact minute by minute shipping route between Emden and Houston. Nothing compared to seeing my car up close and personal. WOW! Their team spent the better part of the afternoon teaching us all about the ins and outs of our new car. Additionally, Eric, David and I got on our hands and knees to install Xpel Tracwrap on the front section and mirrors for my 80-mile drive home. Actually, we didn't do a terrible job and the Tracwrap held up nicely. I'll keep it on so I can drive around town until my full-car PPF is installed on Monday. Before we left, we were also given a nice gift certificate to purchase some Porsche swag in their little gift shop. For those of you waiting...and waiting, just know that the minute you see, and then get behind the wheel of your new Porsche, all of the frustrations, anxiety and wondering: "when the heck my car will ship," will become a distant memory. Even as I write this a few hours after getting home, I'm still on cloud nine, and can hardly believe there's a new 992 safely tucked away in my garage. Good luck to all still on this thread awaiting their dream cars....THE WAIT IS WORTH IT!

Interesting. So the one thing we all share in common is manual transmission. That seems that it's probable they're running into a part issue somewhere in the manual build.
That surprises me, as I was thinking it was a more unusual add-on. But I guess that makes me feel better, too, because that would have been unavoidable. 🤷♂️ I was blaming myself for the delay a bit for going crazy with my build.
Mine just changed today, Step 5 to July 12. Interesting, I received all photos weeks ago and also the model car from FedEx a week or so after the photos.
Step 11 is now end of August!
Curious what the significance is of July 12 like the others…

Do you have a manual build? Based on our limited data so far that seems to be the common thread of people who have reported the July 12 delay.
Stage 2 today. Original build submitted and put on list, February 16; allocation received March 8; deposit on March 24. Must be record time. Now my "unique vision is set and stone and prepared for creation" (spoken with German accent, I suppose). Next step (Stage 3) is shown as June 13. The tentative production date is right now shown as June 20 though it sounds like there might be delays with the manual builds? Mine is a pretty basic T build beyond the Gentian Blue Metallic.

Our manual T’s might be sharing the production line and boat.
First off, I really feel for the folks getting production delays some of which are ridiculously long (6 months! )
However, I'm not sure it's a manual gearbox that is the issue. My manual C4GTS locked on 4/20, started production on 5/15, finished 5/23, and arrived at port (stage 7) 4 days earlier than initially listed on TYD.
Honestly, it just seems random and the luck of the draw at this point if one's car follows the initial TYD timeline.
Now, I expect to see a delay now for stage 8 as there isn't a ship to load onto today.
Our manual T’s might be sharing the production line and boat.
Only difference is mine is headed towards Atlanta (PEC delivery) via Jacksonville since I have an 7/23 arrival date at the port but it doesn't get shipped to "the dealer" until 8/13 for 8/14 arrival. PEC has given me a delivery window of late August to early September. So technically it adds 3-4 weeks to the wait.

I have a 992T on order and woke up this morning with a pleasant TYD update. My car arrived to Emdem 5/25 and supposed to leave 5/26. I was clicking around the maritime website but couldn’t figure out which ship. Anyone have an idea which vessel goes to Jacksonville?
