Production / Delivery Delays

[murphsea]

@murphsea Wonder if that means your GTS has begun / completed PDI at the Port? The Siem Aristotle has been offloading all day and is preparing to depart. If so, you may get to see her soon.

Also wonder if that chip was the reason for your delay while in production???

The electrically adjustable steering column is worthless to me. Once I set the steering column I rarely, if ever, adjust it again.

As I have the bucket seats I don’t have comfort access in the car so it wouldn’t do anything anyway.

If that was the reason for the delay it comes back to the communication issues again.

@murphsea Has your TYD updated for Port Arrival or Port Processing?

No, still showing On Vessel so a bit of a lag. Maybe tonight or Sunday night it’ll update.

The dealership will probably give me the updates from now on as when it clears port processing I think they’re invoiced by Porsche for the car.

From my experience once the car arrives in Port there is a very definite lag in TYD updates. One of my cars actually arrived at my dealer and TYD still indicated On Vessel.

You are correct - Your dealer will be invoiced when it completes port processing and they will have the more accurate info from this point forward.

Good luck.

Yep, communication is and has been the issue.

I'm with you. My GT3 has the LWB's which are totally manual with no memory settings / comfort access. I don't need an electrically adjustable steering column.

Thanks! I've booked my flight to Chicago for Friday night in the hope that it's ready to take delivery on Saturday.
Not much longer for you to wait either. Looking forward to seeing pics of that GT3 when you get it.

Can't wait to see pictures of it.

The Good News is the Siem Aristotle docked in Jacksonville early this morning after spending two (2) days anchored outside the harbor. Maybe the Memorial Day Holiday had something to do with the delay. However, two other vehicle carriers entered the port after the Siem Aristotle anchored outside, and one of them departed before the Siem Aristotle was allowed to enter.

The Bad News is that I was informed that my GT3 has been flagged with a "WNF5 Stop Delivery" notice. Apparently, a few thousand Panamera's, Taycan's, and 911's were either programmed incorrectly or with flawed software. Not sure when this issue was discovered. The cars were put on vessels but, can not be released for sale, or even road tested, until the Gateway Control Unit has been reprogrammed. Porsche will provide new software "shortly" (whatever that means).

So close.

....The Bad News is that I was informed that my GT3 has been flagged with a "WNF5 Stop Delivery" notice....

The Turbo S had the same problem. Something about an interior monitor and a fast reflash of the computer. I think the monitors were not in stock so many cars were shipped without it and then installed at the dealer.

You'll have it soon.

Thanks. Hope it is that simple.

That sucks. I thought you were done with delays. Any update on an ETA since?

My TYD updated today with an Actual Date of completion for Port Processing of 5/27 so hopefully that means I'm ok.
The dealer expects to have the car by 6/3 and I've got my trip planned to Chicago for the weekend.
Hoping to take deliver on Saturday 6/4 but I'm there until Monday night.

Spoke to my SA again yesterday and there is no additional news / info on my GT3. Apparently, the "Gateway Control Unit" needs to be reprogramed as it is not communicating with the PCM and some other systems. Hopefully, this will not result in an additional delay.

Sounds like you will be ok. Great that you have the extra day on Monday just in case. Did you decide to have the car transported or are you driving home?

EDIT: My TYD just updated Current Status to "Port Processing." Hopefully, moving right along.
