Track Day
Vehicle Damage
My car has been sitting in Baltimore in "port processing" status since 8/20. My SA told me last week that she expected my car at the dealership by the end of last week. I followed up with her early this week and she didn't have any explanation as to why they haven't received it yet, so I reached out to the GM at my dealer to see if he had any insight. He called me yesterday afternoon and let me know that he called his contact in Baltimore and found out that my car is waiting to be repaired due to some "minor damage" that they noticed to "a trim part that doesn't require any paint". He couldn't give me any further details than that, but he said it could be a lot worse. He said that he had another customer who had a Taycan stuck in Baltimore for 6 months waiting for a replacement sunroof. My car finished production on 6/29 and at this point I have no idea when I'll actually be able to take delivery.
If you're still waiting for your car, you may want to ask your dealer to do some digging for you. From what I've read, a fairly high percentage of these vehicles are damaged in shipping and those issues need to be resolved at the port before they're transported to the dealers.

That's not encouraging. Mine's stuck in FL, waiting to be shipped to the Experience Center. Because they did not have my correct email address, the earliest date they have is two months off.
I am supposed to wait.
So much for the "experience"
