An Update on My Status: Just found out a few minutes ago that the car has already been released from port (it was unloaded on Saturday 7/11) so I should get it a lot sooner than originally anticipated which is always awesome!

Now I just have to wait for my SA to send me a text that he has received the email stating it has left Jacksonville via a truck carrier. But he was confident enough that we already made an appointment for next Tuesday with Knox Details which is located half a mile away from the Porsche dealership.

My SA hasn't done it before.
Hmmm, so your SA is asking you to figure it out for him?

More like I've given up on him figuring it out.

Thanks so much for posting, Dan. I just looked now and the Swift Ace is docked at Emden! It's time for our cars to settle up their tab at the Emden port (where they have been staying and sunning for a bit, I guess ;-) )- and get ready for their cruise to us!!! I wonder if it will leave early?? This is real now--- YEA!!!!!!
Also, Quonset Point in RI should give me a decent view of the ships coming in. The ferry for Martha's Vineyard is there and there are a few different restaurants and clam shacks nearby. If the weather holds I may go and bring binoculars too. I guess everyone can tell this is the first car I ever ordered from Porsche and I'm super excited

Well, the funny news first. The "My Porsche" app still shows that my 992 is now scheduled for production (still). TYD shows that it should have arrived at the dealer today.

Reality is it should arrive tomorrow afternoon (earliest) but may not make it until Monday but my SA's bet, and my hope, is tomorrow.

Dan Nagy, I thought I finally got a picture of my car being built (right color, etc.) but then I noticed it had ACC so I knew it wasn't mine. Since your picture showed up after the "My Porsche" app said yours had been produced, I am still hopeful that mine still might show up ..... BEFORE I trade in the car in a few years.

Dan, I received one of those several months ago which surprised me since the Cayman GTS I currently have is more than a couple years old. Who knows what I will receive next? Just waiting around, hoping my SA calls today. LOL
