same - put deposit in mid-December. I could have had PTS on my C2S. I did consider it, but went with Jet Black Metallic as I wanted the Bordeaux/Black leather. My freeze point was in early Feb.; car completed build on 3/10. Arrived at dealer yesterday and saw it in person today! It’s going to get full PPF now so I will actually get the car in a week or so. The car looks amazing in person!

So a few more weeks and it should be in my driveway.
Got word from my dealer that my car was picked up the day after docking in Baltimore, and will arrive at the dealer sometime today. Prep starting on Saturday and next week for: PPF, Ceramic, etc. I should have it later next week (or early the week after!!!).

I ordered first of the year for an April 8 build slot and May 23 delivery. I got build complete pics right on schedule, but then on 16th instead of going to the complete phase my timing for completion and delivery jumped out over a month. A pretty straightforward T with no fancy bits other than extended leather. Hoping it’s a software glitch vs a true delay. Nice to see her but kind of a bummer to have timing pushed a month.

How long after docking did you get your TYD email for arrival? My ship docked yesterday morning, but TYD still shows "Your Porsche left the German Port." I wonder if it has been unloaded yet...

The TYD will be many days late, mine just showed it has arrived at the US port.

Once you dock, start talking to your SA/Dealer - they will have more information at that point and more up to date...

Hi all. Sorry if the answer to my question is buried somewhere is this thread, but how accurate is the tracker in the MyPorsche app? My 992 is heading for San Diego, left Emden on 3/28 and I believe it's on the Cepheus Leader. The MyPorsche app currently shows it going up the coast of Mexico while Vessel Finder, etc. show that it's near Colombia. Does anyone know whether the MyPorsche app uses the GPS in the vehicle to track?

I think it is a simple time calculation not a GPS representation. Ships take routes based on multiple factors: weather, world events, fuel stops, captain girlfriends, etc. Porsche knows the start and end point and they have predetermined programmed routes in TYD, I think they just do some simple math and plot your 'dream car' on the map. My C2S US port is Benicia Ca. TYD does not show Jiuyang Blossom stoping in San Diego tomorrow. TYD does show my car further south off of Baja than vessel finder shows the actual location. I think this is to TYD averaging out the San Diego stop on the way to Benicia.

To those that are not crazy obsessed it is a close approximation. For some of us, we track the shipment in near real time using marine or vessel trackers.

Just got the email that my car arrived at the local port. So about 24 hours after Amethyst Ace docked in Freeport

Thanks for your insights. I think I'll trust Vessel Finder. Just trying to time when I should sell one of my vehicles right before the 992 arrives.
