You might try to be a little less rude and a little more humble. No one appointed you God AFAIK. I didn't ask you the question, asked the other guy you insulted.
Most of what you posted earlier is in conflict with the information I just posted. Emden vs Benecia, Time in Port, TYD is junk. if TYD is unreliable, how do you know your car shipped from Emden. According to My Ship Tracking the Ant was never in Emden. Maybe "My Ship" is not accurate but it's the only source that I found with history. IMO, it's an honest question. There seems to be conflicting information...just looking for accuracy. Like I posted, it isn't that important but for some reason you seem to think it's your job to moderate posts not addressed to you.
Edit: I printed off the "other guys" instruction and they weren't legible enough to read.

Hey Ron try this Hack that everyone is using to find out what ship their car is on , I hope this is helpful.
C'mon guys play nice.

@Ron.s This may help. Also, I saw the RCC Antwerp on shipfix docked at Emden for several days.

Where does one find this information?

the dealers all know now, just call them. Porsche knew it was October at best for awhile, and just flipped the dates on our app and the dealer inventory management screens on Tuesday night. Cars are getting to the US ports and sitting there, so the kicking and screaming has started.

Ron.s

Thanks guys, very helpful info. I have no doubt that my car is on the RCC Antwerp...just trying to get this figured out for the next time. No F12 key on my phone but will try this hack when I get home this weekend. Apparently My Ship tracking has some bad data. Shipfix seems to have less free data than when I used it 2 years ago, some might be phone vs desktop.

Yes, the hack works wonders on lap top, I just right clicked on my laptop to and skipped the F12. Try vesselfinder.com

I decided to opt out of the center-mounted sport exhaust/lightweight package. I've talked to a few GTS owners, and they said there isn't much of a difference in sound, and it's hard to justify losing the back middle seat on an SUV.

New build here. Would love anyone's thoughts/inputs: https://configurator.porsche.com/porsche-code/PS8QDJ36

• On the fence with the red stitching/red seatbelts. Not sure why the stitching doesn't show up in the preview?
• Really disappointed I can't get the 22" GT Design Wheels in Satin Black. Only available with the Lightweight Sport Package. The ones I have on there now seem to be the closest.

i have seen deviated stitching in several cars w black interior getting it seems expensive but it is an excellent call imo and really adds to the exclusive look. pro tips having seen several of these cars: if you go w the club black interior you get the fancier cross stitched top seam along the top of the dash and doors that looks even more amazing when ur doing deviated stitching. there is also another check for interior grab handles in leather that gets u exposed stitching on the grab handles and if ur doing deviated that stitching would also be red. and the steering column in leather also gets red stitching if u add that.

also a fan of the red belts.

consider the deep pile mats w red leather edging to match ur deviated stitching.

here is a question, the lower part of the mirror housing: is it black plastic or painted for the gts? if it isn’t painted i would check one of those options to ensure u don’t get plastic lower mirror housings.

I'm with you regarding the 22" GT wheels. As we all know, it's Porsche's way of upselling. It's one thing if the "upsell" is what I like but usually isn't. Every manufacturer does this, sadly.

Very solid build .I had all black MY23 GTS with red seat belts, nice touch. I would option for performance (PDCC) over the red stitching. Or get them both , but if I had to choose. PDCC

cayennegtsmax

I've got almost the same build as you but I opted for PDCC and I didn't go for the SD package b/c I think the gloss black arches/side are unique and will add depth! https://configurator.porsche.com/porsche-code/PSKT3ZB8

Ghaley50

I agree.

You can look at all of Porsche's applications for, and approvals (i.e. "Certificate of conformity") here on the EPA website search tool. https://dis.epa.gov/otaqpub/publist1.jsp Just fill out the model year and "porsche" and hit "search", and for 2025 there's not much EPA approved yet - mostly Taycans and Macans, Cayenne base.
Porsche has evidently not yet even applied for EPA certification for the 2025 Cayenne GTS. This is second in obnoxiousness only to the fact that they have not yet applied for any 2025 911 models either, and mine has been sitting in the port in CA for 3 weeks now.
