New Delivery Delays?
#106
Same here and you and I have almost the exact same schedule. I keep telling myself it's just gonna take a few more days for it to sort itself out. My understanding is anytime you resubmit a new configuration, any exclusive manufacture options have to be re-approved. Did you ask your SA what your production status number went to? Mine went from 200 back to 170

I originally had a 7/9 delivery date to my dealer for my Targa 4S and the date is now being pushed back to 7/23. I have a feeling there will continue to be a domino effect for late 2021 and early 2022 builds due to lack of parts .

It's not about time at port, but which destination you are and when a ship is scheduled for that. My car was ready 1 week early, and as a result made it to Emden with a day or less to spare to make a ship it was not scheduled to. As a result it arrived in the US 3 weeks or so early. One to two more days and it would have been more on its original schedule.

My GT4 has been released to a carrier at the Port of Baltimore. I should be notified that it’s on a truck soon (hoping today/tomorrow).
It was processed into the port on 5/17. The last update showed a quality hold until 6/4, so it’s well ahead of schedule!
FWIW - I was concerned that the TPMS sensor “fix” could involve breaking the factory bead of each tire to insert a sensor. While the bead gets broken at some point once tires are changed, there’s nothing as good as the factory balance and seal.
My GM told me that they don’t touch the wheels. The sensor is located on the underside of the car. They lift the car, attach the sensor, and then drive it so the car “learns” the setting. I don’t know if they actually lift the car or if they drive over a “pit” with a tech below. And I don’t know if the car is driven, or put on a machine (roller) to simulate miles so the TPMS sensor can “learn” the settings. Once everything checks out they will load on a truck.
I was relieved that they are not changing the bead-seal or balance of the wheels. It could arrive at the dealer any day as we are only about 4 hours from Baltimore (probably 5 if driving a big rig).
Woohooo!
