Just got word from my SA that CARB approval has been granted. My Macan will be released from Davisville and should arrive at the dealer early next week. Finally!!

Was speaking with dealer here in NJ and same issue. No clear resolution for the new GTS.... I ended up getting a new 2016 turbo and dealer made a great deal...
Is gov't getting back at VW for diesel issues?

Porsche Macan grounded in 13 CARB states
Certification slowed by VW scandal
Porsche says the delay in Macan deliveries is no cause for alarm.

LAS VEGAS -- A certification slowdown has frozen deliveries of Porsche's hottest nameplate to dealerships in 13 states.
All 2017 Porsche Macans shipped to the U.S. so far that were destined for states subject to California Air Resources Board certification have been grounded at U.S. ports for several weeks, Klaus Zellmer, CEO of Porsche Cars North America, confirmed to Automotive News.
"We're running behind schedule to get the Macan homologated for model year '17, but we're just about to fix that," Zellmer said.
"It takes longer, but we're following procedure," he said. "The formal procedure is setting the pace for us, and we understand that." He declined to say how many Macans are sitting at the ports.
The delay is part of the fallout from Volkswagen AG's diesel emissions cheating scandal. Regulators now are giving extra scrutiny to new-vehicle emissions testing for all automakers. Thus, it's taking longer for new models to become certified.
In the case of the Macan, the hold-up is not cause for concern, Porsche executives said. It hasn't been a significant delay, and the 2017 Macans slated for non-CARB states are on sale. But customers in the CARB states with 2017 Macans on order have been peppering Porsche and dealership personnel with questions on what's holding up the cars.
The Macan's low stock levels have probably compounded customer sensitivity, Zellmer said. The compact crossover has been either sold out or in very short supply since it went on sale in May 2014. "Customers are waiting for that car for so long, so they're really impatient," Zellmer said.
Dealer Roger Jobs, who owns a Porsche store in Bellingham, Wash., one of the states subject to CARB, has seven 2017 Macans waiting at a port. All seven were presold to customers. Until CARB certifies them, Jobs has no Macans to sell. His dealership is sold out of 2016 models.
"If it happens this month," said Jobs, a member of the Porsche Board of Regents, "it would be fantastic."

Hi Gang, our 2017 Macan S has been stuck at the port of San Diego for 2 weeks and counting. My dealer seems to be clueless. First I heard the CA smog Little Napoleons hadn't yet certified the 2017s for importation. Then I heard from another dealer that PCNA might be fixing recall issues before releasing the vehicles.
So...???...which is it? Is anyone else twiddling their thumbs waiting for a Macan S or other Porsche, stuck at the port?? I'm not happy.

Still waiting for mine. Came into Rhode Island Port early March. My SA apologize again today but still does not have a ship date. CARB issues were resolved a while ago but trucking scheduling appears to be the issue. (??) After waiting 5 months I am about done with Porsche. The car has been exposed out in the open to the sea port air, snow, sleet, and sea gulls for over 5 weeks now. Could be 2 more weeks to go.

Usually the dealer can determine when your vehicle is turned over to the shipper which means Porsche released it. Then it is up to the shipper to get a load and head your way. CAFE is more of our government trying to make life more challenging.
