My delivery date has now been pushed from 9/4 to 9/11. Interesting to know what kind of data updates or algorithms they’re using to bounce these around.

Yes...ours did the same...TYD does say estimated...in these uncertain times everything is pretty much fluid.

My delivery date was also changed from 8/28 to 9/11. Seems to be the default date even though the MH is on schedule to dock in Houston on 8/19.

Interesting. Mine still says 9/4 and I have the Benicia stop after SD. Wonder if it has anything to do with CARB approval.

The 09/11 date is at Palm Springs Porsche, our dealer. Still 09/01 at San Diego port. So your date is good...

Ah, I didn't even look at all of those. For a while the last five milestones all had the same date, and now they are all different. So maybe 9/11 is pretty close to accurate. Assuming G Po$eidon gets moving soon. I now feel the pain of the folks who were tracking the Swift Ace (like @Dan Nagy and @Metalblond and @Todd C) when the ship would slow or stop moving. Somehow, knowing the cars are on the boat and having it sit at anchor for 24 hours is worse than waiting for them to get loaded. I wasn't expecting that :-)

Yes, I figured it would sit waiting to get through the Panama Canal, but not now. Probably be sitting all weekend, but then again I have no idea if ports or shipping follow the same parameters of weekends off.

If I’m not mistaken. If they can’t port into Bremerhaven today, I thought the port was closing 8/7 for the August holiday. I guess we will see.

I totally understand...it's painful to watch. I'd go to bed and look at the ship and wake up in the morning and see it in the same damn place or close to it and think it was a nightmare.

TYD had my car arriving at port, being processed and transported to my dealer all on the same day. They also had my car built in one day. It didn't match up until it was on the way to the dealership (and my dealer is only 40 minutes away from the port so it was a quick margin). Don't rely too much on TYD because it can be all over the place.
Anyway, I'm hoping this ship moves along and all of your cars get to you sooner :-)

It’s all part of the fun! Eventually, the cake does come out of the oven.

The best for us was Metalblond convincing the gate guard to let her in to the offload area and the photos she took. That deserves some kind of Rennlist award.

And she’s in Bremerhaven. I’ve been getting updates so I’ll be the annoying one posting every time I get an email :-)
