Awesome video. I've never seen it before. I've been watching this one that Porsche sent last week when my car was done and heading to the port. Watching it ever few days 😉
Well, today I have officially graduated from this thread that I started back on New Year's Day. I wish all of you speedy deliveries and many miles of adventure.

Glad to hear they prioritized yours. My dealer got a 3RS and a base 911, one part. Random tech decided to put the part in the base car
oh, ****, sorry that sucks. At least they don't have to remove the rear seat in a 3RS. Apparently this involves a single use bolt (maybe related to seat belt?) that has to be replaced, too.
That .0000001% chance there was an issue with e-mail notifications or TYD and our cars were actually on Companion? Well, it's 0% now after my sales rep sent over the internal tracking system screenshot this afternoon. For Milestone V332 (Exit Port Emden), the actual date shows blank so it's confirmed I'm not on Companion. As a side note: the Expected Dates appear to have not been revised (yet) since the car didn't get loaded. It still shows expected delivery date of ~04/26 even though Jiuyang (our next best shot) won't get to Benicia until then.
Let's hope for the best late next week.

I'll provide an update once I get the info - just in case there's the .0000001% chance there was a screw up in the TYD / e-mail notification system somewhere and some of you might be in the same situation. Stay tuned...
P.S. Jiuyang is now two days ahead of schedule towards Bremerhaven. Expected to arrive there on 03/18 now instead of 03/20 before arriving at Emden.

@Marin Vizsla thanks for confirming. Fingers crossed Jiuyang is our ship (Both SD and Benicia)
Yay! Received an email update stating car en route to Porsche Center this morning. SA texted me shortly after to confirm. Part is not replaced yet but will arrive early next week according to him. Stopped by around 11:30 to take a look.
Very satisfied with the decision to go for a TTS!
07/23/2023 - Purchase Order Confirmed
11/23/2023 - Manufacturing Process Completed
01/11/2024 - Left Port of Emden
02/12/2024 - Arrived Port of Benicia
03/14/2024 - Released to Porsche Center
My SA confirmed today what I already knew that I’ve missed the Companion. The dates in the PSVMS still show an expected departure on 3/15 and arrival to SD on 4/12. The Companion schedule was closer to those dates so even internal Porsche system is off.
Sorry about that. Let's see what the Glovis Logistics Gods come up with on Mon - Tues with the new Week 12 schedule. Hopefully they drop Manta port off the Jiuyang route and add SD for you and others. And keep Benicia as-is :-). BTW, I saw the PWL Week 12 east coast shipping schedule and they have like two ships arriving in Emden every week for the next three weeks (!). Versus west coast where VW Auto Group is downright miserly with the number of ships.
P.S. Jiuyang is heading north off the coast of Portugal. Still has ETA of arriving in Bremerhaven (before Emden) on 03/18.

I hope we get on Jiuyang Blossom, otherwise we are delayed another 30 days for Glovis Courage.
Ideally it would be awesome we get on Jiuyang Blossom, and they skip Mantis, Ecuador (it's showing as blue on the worksheet) and go directly to Benicia from Santa Marta Columbia
My car just went production complete today and is headed to the port. Hoping to make it on the Blossom as well!
