I have an order in for a 2025 4S that will be produced sometime this summer.

Does anyone know is that Baltimore harbor how the cars were typically arriving to the United States? Does Porsche use a different port? I'm trying to understand if this is going to cause significant delays, or will they figure it out by summer.

VW/Porsche uses ports in Davisville, RI and Baltimore on US NE coast. In Baltimore, the VW/Porsche dock facility (Tradepoint Atlantic) is outside/ocean side of the damaged bridge.

In addition to above - they are estimating the Baltimore port will be open in 4-6 weeks. The bridge will take years to rebuild but the port will reopen as soon as they can clear the debris from the bridge collapse.

Spoke to dealer if they are impacted since they get the cars from Baltimore. They said that they just got their shipment and not expecting another one for some time. They do not know what happens with the next shipment at this time. They were extremely busy with 12 car deliveries on a Friday and probably more deliveries today on a Saturday as the last day of the month and Q1.

West coast Porsches generally arrive at Long Beach Port. So no problems there.
