[Lfcdan]

The X54e is is a lovely drive too. I had one for a weekend thanks to Sytner. A word apart from the previous gen car...enjoy

Cheers
I’ve never even driven it!
I’m at the airport now about to board a flight down down and then I’m picking it up tomorrow for the 350m drive home

For those boat watchers out there.. looks like the Malacca Highway has set off from Emden again due Sheerness tomorrow afternoon. I wonder who will be lucky this time...

It was at the VW dock unfortunately - I think the wait continues. On a positive note there have been I think 4 Vehicle Carriers at that dock in the last 24hrs so hopefully VW are satisfied and Porsche & Audi can get a look in later in the week..

Inbound from Emden. Wondering if anyone knows if this might have some Taycan’s on board? I heard the first boat isn’t until 18 June but living hopefully!

My 4S got stuck just as Lockdown happened and finally arrived yesterday and I'm collecting Thursday all being well.

How do you know it was at the VW dock? Have we missed another ship tracking/Dock website that gives this detail?

I’m basing it on various posts in both this and an Audi forum tracking cars over the years. The dock area to the west (where the VW plant is) is for VW and the East area ( bit smaller) is Porsche/Audi.

This thread is the only active delivery tracking one I can find on any forum atm - have to confess I’m waiting for a Q7 not a Porsche to come into Sheerness but, pardon the pun, it seems we are all on the same boat...

When did yours finish production @Lfcdan ? Sorry if you’ve been asked and answered before. Mine completed production on 24 May - no news of when I can expect it though...

I think Mine left the factory on 19th June mate

there are at least 4 vehicle carriers all inbound now to Emden, arriving tomorrow morning, and given all the activity the last few days on the VW dock let’s hope the next wave are mostly picking up from the other side.

sadly not one of them destined for Sheerness - I give up

The Malacca Highway seems to have the Emden <--> Shereness gig all to itself, due back in Emden tomorrow at 0600. My last dealer update was that my car would not be on a "June" boat (maybe they were blocked out for VW?) but that they were confident it would be on one of the following ones. Let's see.

Mine arrived at the dealer yesterday, but I'm up north so I expect it arrived via Grimsby

Looks like Malacca Highway has docked at the Audi/Porsche dock at Emden...... could this be some south based Taycan owners lucky week? Fingers crossed.
