I have 11 steps. That’s so weird. So random. 😅

 

Got this photo 4-13. Still waiting at port.

 

So it can’t be the 18-way seats. WHAT IS IT THEN? There has to be a reason. Why would they randomly build some cars and not finish them. Where do they even store them?

 

Having seen what’s been going on (not just with Porsche, but I saw the same or even worse with BMW last year) I suggest not stressing about it. There’s nothing you can do and nothing that’ll fix the problem either. Patience. One day your new 911 will arrive and all the nightmares will be forgotten very quickly. I know it’s hard now. I waited 3 month for my M4 at port with others being built after mine and delivered ahead of mine in my same city (while my car sat at Bremerhaven, the port BMW uses).

EDIT: at least BMW has an API that people can use to learn if there is a “stop sale” on the car DBS what is causing it. But honestly, I doesn’t make it any better. People are just waiting all the same. Randomly.

 

I don’t have step 3 and 6&7 are combined into “vehicle released for transport”. Maybe a Canada thing?

I didn’t get the toy car in the mail but not complaining because Canadians didn’t get any production pics until recently.

 

To an extent, I understand that and appreciate your response. I know I can’t do anything by stressing about it. But I could buy another car that’s ready to go…. Some of us make plans based on the expected dates Porsche provides and I think some delay is reasonable but indefinite delays are not. Technically, I’ve been delayed in production for over a month *for now*. My worry is what if the production is delayed for longer and longer and then I hit the shipping delays. If something is really holding things up and instead of July, Porsche expects the car to be delivered to me in September. Heck, I’ll go buy another car that’s ready right now. That I can control and do. Empty promises and expectations with no explanation is what bothers me.

 

Same here. Stuck on 5/23.

 

My car's stage 8 is stuck on 5/26.

@Alex.In.M0tion @RedBiker Looks like we're all trying to make the same ship to Baltimore. My ultimate destination is Chicago.

 

This is exactly what happened to me last year. I lost patience waiting for the M4. Stopped by the Porsche dealer and by coincidence they had an unallocated base 911 at port. I pulled the trigger the next day at $5k over MSRP (March 2022). But it wasn’t the build I wanted so I’ve been waiting ever since for the car coming now. Nevertheless, I’ve been scratching all my itches in the meanwhile with the base 911 and the M4 (it finally arrived in June 2022!)

If you can afford it, why not. Go get something to keep you entertained in the meanwhile. After all, you only leave once.

(someone said that quote is wrong… you only die once, but you live many many days.)

Anyhow, time is passing by that you’ll never get back. You can always make more money.

 

It looks like I am waiting with you guys as well. Mine is coming to Houston.

 

It’s a weird quirk of TYD - the Canadian version has different stages than the US version

 

For anyone tracking West Coast boats the schedule updated today…Glovis Corona which was due this Emden 5/28 is no longer a west coast boat and according to Vessel Finder is already on its way to Egypt but has been replaced with two boats, one arriving in Emden on 6/1.

Hoping to catch the Stigma or Sunlight now.

 

My ultimate destination is Chicago too.

 

Pickup party when the Composer arrives! We’re living this purgatory together, we should also celebrate together when our cars arrive!

 

No offense, but if that’s how you really feel - then a build to order car is probably not for you right now. Every manufacturer will tell you that these dates are estimates, if you’re trying to plan life events around the delivery of a build to order car you’re going to run into issues due to delays. If you can’t handle the uncertainties in the process then you need to settle for the few cars sitting on dealer lots.

Go back 5,10, even 20 pages and you’ll see that there are numerous delays encountered across the process for all kinds of reasons. What you are experiencing sucks - but it also happens, A LOT, and if you can’t handle that, well then maybe buying a build to order luxury car really isn’t the right answer for you.

Hell, my car’s been sitting at the port in Jacksonville for a MONTH already, and it’ll be just shy of a second month before I get it. I’m not thrilled with the timeline, but I’m taking PECATL delivery. I walked into it eyes open that my delivery date was dependent on THEIR schedule not mine.
