Default Shipping from Germany - which boats?
So my dealer told me the car is slated to get on a boat Nov 8th... how do I find out the name of the boat? Anyone else have a car supposed to ship then?

Your Porsche "track your dream" email will show the specific ship when the car is loaded. Once you know that, you can geek out with the MarineTraffic iOS app, which allows precise info on the location.
Great build....enjoy!

Your SA can tell you what boat it’s on when it loads

My build also reached V300 last week. Expecting the same date for shipping out of Germany.

Check this link, you should be able to download the weekly Export Schedule.

Yea, will probably sail over the Atlantic, through the Panama Canal and then over the Pacific to Asia.

Sam, hopefully your SA will provide the details for you. The car will be worth the wait!

Im working through the same dealership as you. Haven’t gotten one update that wasn’t something I had contacted them about to get info. The only thing I’ve heard, that I had initiated the question. Was when my car is due to arrive to the port of Benicia and I was told it will arrive the last week of February.

yeah, my guy hasn't sent me anything without my asking first... and always when I ask, there is something new... and I'm thinking "well crap, why didn't you tell me??" ... could be the 5% discount I got makes him feel like it's not worth the extra work?

I seriously don't get why Porsche doesn't have a tracking program for customers.... at least like the one BMW has ..
