Every Year is a "New Year" from the point of view of the emissions certification process/procedure.

Just got an email from my dealer "Great news -- your car is in port in Baltimore and should be delivered to our dealership by early next week!". After rolling my eyes I sent a note back asking whether he has heard anything about a certification issue causing delays until October -- will post once I hear anything but my sense is that I know more than he does at this point...

9/18 would be great..certainly better than end of the month. Would be nice to get 6-8 weeks of driving in before the salt trucks start coming out. Fingers crossed.

Not the first time cars have been held up at port. The Cayenne e-Hybrids sat at port for 4+ months: https://rennlist.com/forums/cayenne-...ay-thread.html

It's definitely not only Porsche, two years ago I had my LR Discovery weeks sitting in the port because it was the first shipment of Diesel engine for MY 2019. Finally got it late September that year.

Default Still Waiting

I'm new here , and I'd like to thank you all for providing me with hours of entertainment while recovering from shoulder surgery. I ordered my 992 C2S in Aventurine Green back in May on the 15th. The Dealer required a 12000 dollar deposit. I'm not complaining, but seemed a bit higher than what I've seen typically. Less money later. Anyway, I spoke with my sales guy this morning, and asked if we were still on schedule, he assured me we that we were. My V250 was 9/4, and my U014 entry to Port Benicia scheduled for 11/13. Originally they were telling me the first of the year. I'm really hoping his information is accurate. It's been a long wait and I'm thinking there's light at the end of the tunnel. Only other time I've waited this long for a vehicle, was in 95 when you had to wait five months for a new Harley. Thanks Babyray

Wow -- that is a LONG lead time and the biggest deposit I've heard of. Should we assume your shoulder surgery was from hitting the refresh button on the TYD site twenty times a day for the past 5 months??
