ive been at emden since 1/31. Any updates?

 

My SA will call me on Monday with an update, so I will share with you guys.

Which port is your car destined for?

My car should be shipped from Emden to Davisville. I do not think there are any more ships bound for Davisville this month, so I am not expecting any good news when he calls.

Nevertheless, since your car was completed a few days after mine, perhaps the info on my car will give you an idea about what is going on with yours.

 

I am as pissed as anyone else, but it’s kind of customs job. You can be mad at the law, but don’t be mad at the people for doing their job.

As much as it sucks having our cars delays, it’s a first world problem.

 

Sanctions administered by the State Department, enforced by them, Commerce (includes BIS-Customs), and other agencies, none of which do or frankly, should care about consumers. Agree with them or not, sanctions are a tool and, in some circumstance one of the only effective tools the Feds have.

Enforcement will mostly be the honor system at the individual vehicle level, and I'm sure somebody at VW will certify to the feds that it was done, provide records etc. and you do not want to misrepresent this to the Feds as that is when the real fun would start. There may be some type of audit.

I'd love to know the ramifications through VW's supply chain. Some Tier 3 was quickly cutoff and may write a check.

Has to be the worst job in corporate America. No one ever appreciates the job until the sh_t hits the fan and then it is all over your face with all others running for the exit.

In fact most of us bitch about that department, but mainly because we don’t understand the consequences that could result from the actions taken.

I work in Fortune 500 company and anytime we get push back for doing things, the answer comes back to “legal won’t let us” or “compliance won’t approve it.”

I have followed up with those departments in many cases once I hear the “why” behind their decision, it typically makes sense.

OK, back on topic, Where are our cars!! lol

 

i am supposed to go to jax. Sounds good!

 

Is anyone having their car delivered to a PEC? Mine's going to PEC ATL and I'm wondering whether Porsche will do the chip swap there or in port, for my car, that's Jacksonville, FL. Thanks.

 

Jeff - just learned this afternoon from my local dealer that 3 cars were received from Benicia this weekend - they have been at that port since late January - they arrived with the replacement module already installed and ready to deliver to clients.

 

By "Local Dealer" which one are you referring to:

Marin, San Francisco, Burlingame, Redwood City, Stevens Creek, Fremont, Livermore or Walnut Creek

A week ago, I know that Walnut Creek received 1 (3RS) , and Marin received 1 as well (Targa).

 

More like Central Valley...

 

@ontheroad2024 , do you know if the cars were 911s?

 

Mine was released from Baltimore and arrived to dealer on 3/7. SA told me he believes I should be "driving [my] Baby this week"!

 

Sorry - I did not ask - at least we got some news about movement out of Benicia with the module installed at the port. My "selfish" focus was on guessing how much longer my car will be stuck there since it arrived at the port a month ago. I never thought this process would be almost a year long but it is what it is.

 

and Houston for all the DFW Cars...
