So far is a month, could be more. I guess it has to do with the ship that caught on fire. Porsche is planning on reordering all the 1,100 cars that were lost. I do understand the customers that were waiting on their cars and lost them, just upset with the delays. I've been waiting since last July.

Hi Eric, unfortunately you’re not the only person that got the dates changed, my GTS was scheduled to go in production 2 days ago and delivery was mid April n now it’s June or possibly July, and those changes were made before the ship fire last week, I’m sure the loss of the 1100 Porsche’s will effect further more, there is shortage of 2 major parts, PCCB & Aerokit, if your car has any of those 2 options those are what causing the delay so far, hope your delay won’t be as much

Hi Eric, I know this is not much consolation but, it appears the majority of us that are waiting have all been delayed for various different reason - PCCBs, Aerokit, RORO shipping schedules, etc.

What is the status of your build? Sounds like your GTS was very close to production or possibly even completed if you were originally expecting delivery on April 29th.

In addition to the parts shortages Porsche has cars backed up at the port of Emden. This backup existed even before the Felicity Ace fire and now seems to have gotten worse. I know of several that were / have been sitting there for approximately two months. Unfortunately, a neighbor of mine had a Gulf Blue Panamera waiting at Emden for over two months and then it was loaded on the Felicity Ace. This is the current note Porsche has posted on TYD:
"Note: Vehicles presently awaiting shipment from Germany are currently undergoing scheduling updates, and additional scheduling changes might occur."

Hi Hawk,

My freeze point was back in February 1 and then it got moved to February 18 and so on. My car was supposed to be in production on March 7th, now they have it in production on April 7th, I think. Delivery date right now is May 27th, I would say June sometime is when I'll get my car. But I do understand the shortage though, I do haver the PCCB and also, Felicity is adding to the re-scheduling too, my guess though.

Porsche just posted this in TYD:
