Now I’m really confused… my TYD app just updated (moments ago) indicating my C2S has left Emden.
Anyone else get this news?
yea I just got surprised by the email after a recent TYD update saying my car wasn’t scheduled to leave the German port until 5/6. Seems like my anticipate delivery date (6/15) hasn’t changed yet though so I’m not sure when I could expect it in Utah.
As of ~9:45am Pacific, Jiuyang is sailing past Carmel / Pebble Beach right now. Based on the weather overlay, it looks like currents will be favorable the rest of the way to Benicia. For those who live / work in downtown SF or Marin, head to the GG Bridge around lunch time and take a picture for us as Jiuyang sails beneath it. Cross our fingers the port authorities doesn't tell it to go into a holding pattern...
Almost there!

I think J.Blossom is in the clear to port... no Roro carriers are in line and the dock itself is currently vacant.

I just got a text from the dealer prompting me to take a survey on the service done to my car. Immediately called my SA and sure enough, it was dropped off last night.
Yay for the Blossom getting close! The weird thing is my car has disappeared from my TYD. I think I've read that this has happened to folks before.
Woohoo... but then again I just checked Marine Traffic is showing that Blossom is now idling (or moving at 1.6mph) just west of Santa Cruz. so it's not docking around noon as it's already 1pm Pacific, and maybe that 7pm time frame is it but who knows now.

I called Porsche today since I had my car drop off the TYD app, but if I log on to Porsche.com my car status is still there. I was told they have an issue with the app and they expect it to be resolved in the next couple days.
in the meantime your status should still show up on your online profile on porsche.com
I have finally graduated from this thread. My car has arrived at the dealership. It's been a joy sharing this exciting journey my fellow West Coast Rennlisters. Here is my timeline as an additional data point:
Car ordered on 11/19/23 with V200 status
V210 Vehicle Freeze 1/31/24
V250 Vehicle Fixed 2/13/24
V260 Vehicle Entered Body Shop 2/22/24
V300 Vehicle Completed 2/28/24
V331 Entry Port Emden 2/29/24
V332 Exit Port Emden 3/21/24
U006 Entry Port San Diego 4/17/24 (Ship docked on 4/16)
V810 Released for Transport 4/17/24
V900 Arrived at dealership 4/24/24
The best of luck to all my fellow West Coasters who are still waiting for their new toy.
While it was sailing up to the Bay Area, I noticed Jiuyang stopped at least three times (including this most recent one). First time near Lompoc, then Monterey, and now Santa Cruz. Maybe they're taking tourist pictures of the California coast and doing whale watching.
Anyways, it looks like ship started the engines again and is heading to SF at ~13 knots. ETA of 7pm-ish sounds about right. Unless they stop again to take pictures of the GG Bridge and the City skyline at sunset....

What is interesting is that in the Marine Traffic mobile app, you can turn on "Project Course" and set it to 120 minutes, and it will draw a line of how far the vessel can travel at the current speed for 120 minutes. Turn this on by taping on their logo on the upper left of the mobile app, and then selecting Vessel Options, scroll to the bottom and turning on Projected Course and sliding the slider to the right to give you 120 minutes.
When you do that, it is projecting that Blossom will get to the Golden Gate position in 2 hours, so it is possible to extrapolate that another 2 hours possibly after that to get to Benicia dock... I hope I'm wrong, but that means it won't get there until 10 to midnight tonight.
