I would take it on that floating desk from the Titanic that could only hold Kate Winslet if it’d get my car to me!
Yes the Antwerp will be at Emden for pickup on August 31st and arrive at Benicia October 10th. Since my car missed the last boat from Emden>Benicia that cars that arrived a week later than mine made, it better be on it!
My SA says no, not yet. Say more visibility once they start arriving and 24 Oct current on sale date.
I have a Coupe GTS sitting at port in Rhode Island since 1 week. Sales Rep said they have not passed EPA and the current release date is October 24. He stated that the date might move forward but there is no control over it.
It was driving me a little nuts that not only has my Cayenne been sitting at Emden for 3 weeks, I couldn't find any of the Ro-Ro shipping lines others cars are on (Siem, NYK, etc.) that even had the Port of Benecia (US West coast Porsche dropoffs) on their upcoming schedules at all. Finally found some Emden>Benicia ships scheduled on Stena Glovis lines. Hopefully mine will make the August 31st boat!
Thank you for this! Mine is currently under production since last Fri, hope it can catch the Grand Hero which will arrive Emden on 9/12.

Thank you. Yes, same from my SA. On sale date of 24 Oct based on EPA. GTS Coupe just exiting production
Let’s hope. Had a MY21 Spyder on sale date of 4 Dec same reason. EPA release around 10 Nov IIRC.
Porsche is humming along...my GTS went into production yesterday and was completed as of a couple hours ago, a day early after moving a week forward from original. Maybe it started earlier! Maybe I got lucky.
Intersting tidbit of info-the P web site seems to alternate between the factory schedule in between stage 3 & 4 and then matched TYD. On mine there was a 2 day difference. It is heading to port today, might miss the Antwerp by a day or two. Looks like the Grand Hero for me. Now the long wait to Benicia begins.
24th of October, but EPA (and CARB) can happen anytime before that removing that obstacle
sorry, what does this mean? Mine is on a boat to Baltimore and then a dealership in PA for delivery, currently Porsche app shows a delivery date of Sep 4 - 15, but I will be waiting until October or EPA approval?

I think that is the case, cars can’t be sold without EPA approval? as it’s a new engine config I assume it needs some sort of sign off? If this is the case do they get held at the port or will they be shipped to the dealers with a hold on them? My dealer has a delivery date of 9/20 in their system, if they will get held at the port until 10/24 then it’s another week or more to transport and PDI the cars 👎

My dealer is telling me the GTS US “On Sale” date is 24 Oct 2024. Many times this is date is dependent on the EPA certification.
The dealer has said the GTS currently doesn’t have the EPA cert.
If your car arrives in a US port and doesn’t have EPA Cert, it’ll sit in port until it is received. If you live in the handful of CARB states then you’ll have an additional delay after EPA cert for that.
This happens all the time.
Cert could hit tomorrow…but as of a couple days ago the dealership said no, not yet received.

Do you know if the on sale date is dependent on the EPA cert in terms of getting shorter? ie if the EPA certs come through on say 9/15 does the on sale date move up or stay at 10/24? vs obviously it would go long if the EPA doesn't come through by then. Just curious if there will be a record sales day on 10/24 with cars stacking up at the dealerships.

Do you mind sharing your built code? Mine went to production last Friday but still not yet completed.
