I saw my car yesterday at the dealership because I was just curious and was eager to check if the car had indeed arrived. Sure enough it did!

Nope - you are not alone ! I still haven't received Milestone 10 e-mail even though the car was supposed to leave Benicia today. Milestone 11 is scheduled for tomorrow 05/09. While I'm losing hope the car will arrive by end of this week, at the same time, I think Freesole and Spenc's recent experience in getting the e-mails when their cars departed Benicia seem to be an exception. Most folks seem to get Milestone 10 and 11 after-the-fact (like Zanary).

I'll be shooting off an e-mail to my sales rep after lunch to see if he has any insight. I'm not confident that he'll be much help though. If it's it useful, I'll certainly share.

@Marin Vizsla Thank you for asking, unfortunately I am still waiting for delivery. I hope I am not one of those cases that sit in the local port for weeks waiting for delivery!

I see a few of us are still in delivery limbo. At least I am in good company waiting. Lets hope for some final milestones soon!

That is so cool!

Once you and @Marin Vizsla get your rides we need to go for a drive to celebrate our graduation.

No updates, unfortunately. My sales rep is off today - he'll be in tomorrow. Uuuugh - I'm having deja vu (or is it nightmares?) of being stuck in Emden again.

Glovis Courage is due to dock in Benicia on 05/26 and will be offloading more cars so they have to clear us out before then. Or so I hope.

Have you cleared Port PDI yet? I know that isn't considered a TYD milestone... but something the dealer has visibility to.

I hear you! @Marin Vizsla I may change my avatar to:

Once again my milestone dates have come and gone, I am tracking my disillusionment

I will say once it gets here it will be super fantastic and worth the wait!

I may register my C4S as a nautical vessel with Vessel Finder and Marine Traffic. At this point, it has spent more time at ports ( 2+ months at Emden, 2 wks and counting at Benicia) than my garage.

LOL - so true! If you did that you would have to install a GPS beacon, you would at the very least know where it is.

Sorry but I don't know if it cleared yet. This is one of the questions I'll be asking my sales rep that when he's in tomorrow. Do you know what Event Key code (U*, V*, etc.) it is on their tracking system?

I am definitely up for it. @Marin Vizsla hoping you get the good news that you're hoping for soon! It will be a special day no doubt.

Pickup day was today.. Took a while at the dealership but when all was said and done, it was worth it. These two are going to be good friends

You sir, have excellent taste in cars. RS6 Avant is one of my favs.

I believe it is NA19 for Port PDI.
