Anyone get any updates for their car that is at Benicia? My SA says my car hasnt left port yet and is expecting the car sometime in this next week.
update: SA just emailed me saying car should be there either tomorrow or Monday. So it seems like cars are starting to be released from Benicia Port. Might be picking up my car Tuesday!

Ship is on its way to Benicia. Expected to arrive late at night 8/19.
I swear I just posted that twice, but other forums.
Edit: Sorry, was referring to Sumire Leader ship heading towards Benicia, not cars already there...

Lake Geneva is currently at the port of Brunswick. That wasn't on any schedule either, nor was Bremerhaven following Emden. The Jacksonville port authority web page does not list Lake Geneva as an expected arrival any time soon. Both vessel finder and marineTraffic note when their data was updated, I do believe it is accurate based on the update. For me, there is no reason to believe that the boat is not at Brunswick. It appears that a September 2 arrival in SD is unrealistic. Who knows where it is headed now.
As for the TYD GPS coordinate data (from "inspect" current location data), it appears clear that it is not anywhere close to where the boat actually is, nor is the map/car diagram. Why those GPS coordinate data changes dynamically is odd, perhaps related to matching the car/map.
I do believe though that the inspect data that identifies the ship that the car is on is accurate. I will hang my hat on following the updates from both of those websites (VF, MT), knowing that it will get here when it does.

Anyone have any updates from Benicia? My SA thought i'd be getting the car soon, but they took delivery of a bunch of cars on Sunday and my car was not part of the batch. So as of right now my car has been at Benicia for about 9 days.
Update: TYD tracking just updated with my car on its way to my dealership. SA says it should be there today which makes sense as they are only about a an hour drive from the Port. So i'm hoping ti gets dropped off around noon time which is when they took delivery of a bunch of other cars yesterday.

8/6: Daisy Leader docked in San Diego
8/8: TYD updated that the car had arrived at port
8/13: The car passed customs and was cleared for release
8/23 (tentative): Car will be shipped to dealer
The story of this delivery has been one of pleasant surprises and frustrations. I was able to speed through the PTS Plus feasibility program with no impact to my original production dates and subsequently sped through production without any of the delays that a lot of folks were seeing back in April and May. Unfortunately, my car was then delayed at every turn that it could have outside of production: It sat for a month at Emden; it rounded the tip of South America instead of transiting the Panama Canal; and it will have sat at the destination port for two and a half weeks (barring any further delays).
In all, an extra 60+ days were added to an otherwise hyper efficient production process. I guess everything averages out in the end, and ultimately, these are first-world frustrations.

On another note, is anyone waiting on a Gentian Blue Boxster at Fremont Porsche? Looks like it got delivered to the dealership along with my car today.

Daisy Leader in SD:
Dealer called me to let me know the car arrived this morning, and I got the TYD notification that it was on its way about 10 minutes later.

According to my dealer they received some cars from the Daisy Leader on August 13th. I can see inefficiencies at the Port of Emden once it leaves Porsche hands, but I can't understand delays when the cars are back under the control of PCNA.
