Mine shows 12/16 but we're quite a distance from each other haha. Who knows where TYD gets this stuff from. Is it just some guy in a room pressing a button?
Probably a group of people.....they are tracking how many times we check for updates and then laugh at us when they put in made up dates.

No longer tied to a desk job, but I don't remember it being anywhere near this much fun.

A little annoyed with my SA right now. After emailing back and forth all day about shipping the car separately, he was able to tell me which service his dealer uses to get cars. So I took it upon myself to call and see what I could find out. After giving the man who answered the last 5 digits of my VIN and the dealership, he told me the car is scheduled to leave tonight and arrive by tomorrow.

... why did I have to do that? My line of work is extremely different from automobile sales; it was just a simple 2 minute call.

Well that's great news! As far as you having to take the initiative and get your own information.......I'm reminded of something my Grandfather once told me. "Son, being harder working, and smarter than those around you will be a constant headache. You will have to learn to deal with it."

I sure do miss him.

At the risk of sounding like a pompous ass, this is sadly true. My own mantra at work, "If you want something done right, do it yourself."

Sadly, still stuck.... Will reach out to the dealer tomorrow to see what's up. But glad to hear you'll be expecting yours shortly!

Yes, if you're as neurotic as me, do what I did - find out what transportation service your dealership uses. I thought all of Porsche NA used a company called Reliable, but my SA said they use Plycon. Since we are in the same regional area, that might be yours as well.

So, I went to Google for the number, called them, hit the prompt for the NY location (Kings Park Long Island), and got immediately connected to a person. I told him I had a Porsche coming in from Davisville and asked if he could tell me when it was coming. He asked me for the last 5 of VIN and dealership location, punched it all in and gave me an answer in all of 3 minutes. Easy.

That being said, this is 100% something the dealer should be doing for you, but, as J4's grandpa said...

When you think about it, of course this is all scheduled ahead of time. There's no "guesswork" here or "we'll just find out when it happens" scenario. Drivers don't just show up to work and say "so where I am going today?" At least, I cannot imagine that being the case.

In retrospect, I'm so annoyed I didn't think of doing this all sooner, since my SA just didn't give enough of a ? to find out for me. He'd rather email me back and forth all day it seems.
