Australian Build Slots & Delivery Times
541 - 560 of 560 Posts
Mine build completed on 16 Jan and the vessel left port on 26th. Seemed like I was sooo lucky...
I have had to do some fancy sleuthing to find out just when the <ahem> a boat will arrive to pick my car up. So looking at the links in this thread I found the Heogh sailing schedule for a ship. Switched it to port mode, Set Bremerhaven to Melbourne and voila! The Hoegh Oslo is due to leave 16/03, the date Porsche are estimating up to.

Looking at its sailing schedule, it's got a couple of stops before Bremerhaven arriving 15th and departing 16th.

It's nice to have some peace of mind that a ship is actually coming, although the 16th will mean my car has sat at the port for a month by the time it loads.
If anyone else is waiting I assume this is likely to be your ship too.

It still seems bizarre that in 2023, manufacturers still can’t provide a website/app that allows Customers to login to see progress with your car from the day your order is accepted.
So much time on emails and phone calls could be saved by allowing a subset of data on their in-house systems to be accessible. Sigh.
Anyway, @Tony123, you’ll soon be next watching the boat slowly churning around the globe. It’s fun eh ?
I reckon what they provide us in the portal is a pretty good start. I mean they dont show all the shipping port stops etc, but at a high level the milestones are pretty handy.

Whats the point of that if the cars are sitting at port for over 2 months, wihout any intimation from the port authorities to porshe Australia.
Currently at this stage my car got to the port in Jan and Porshe Australia have no clue as to when delivery would be possble.
I know these are first world problems for some overpriced cars but its getting out of hand.
This would be nuts for all the cars just getting through Melboune (328,825 units FY21-22)
My car left the port of Bremerhaven this week aboard the Hoegh Oslo. I'm assuming all that from the above investigation I did and also the fact my Porsche tracking now corresponds to that. Estimated arrival to Melbourne is 23rd April still. Anyone else got cars aboard my ship? 
No word yet from my SA but he's been good at updating me either way and knows I'm tracking things myself too

This is the quintessential delivery checklist thread
There's nothing anything can do to better list the things you want to know/do on that day 
Things new owners might want to know
I suspect that many Macan buyers are first time buyers of the marque. So in good faith, here are some things to expect. This is my opinion. If this is not your first Porsche, YMMV. Everyone is different. This is my opinion. You might find the following to be true, particularly in NA. Since...

I have a question for you though. When we go into collect our car, what is the best way to pay? I've never bought something so expensive that it didn't fit on a credit card haha. Barring my house which the bank kind of took care of. Is it just a bank cheque?
Geez, thats a comprehensive list !This is the quintessential delivery checklist thread

I just transferred the cash by EFT. I honestly couldn’t see a Porsche dealer going belly up so was pretty confident all would be good 🫣 - of course partly because I couldn’t be bothered going into a bank and getting the cheque…
Does EFT let you transfer that much? There's an element of not giving them the money until you've inspected the car yourself in that list too I think. Not sure if that matters. Could just sit there at the dealer and do the transfer but I guess that might take a few days which I would not be cool with
The bank can setup a limit override but I just did $25k/day so didn’t take long (only for a T after all 🤪)Does EFT let you transfer that much?

You could always pay 95% and then do a credit card payment for the remainder on the day providing everything is OK ?
I'm sure everything would be okay. But imagine trying to get your money back from the dealer hahahaha
NOOOOOO!
Talking about a TWO MONTH DELAY and saying to “take a deep breath” and to “be patient and work through it”. REALLY!! A manufacturer can lock, build and ship a brand new car to Australia in the same time that Australia can CLEAN THEM!?!?
my car arrives at Melbourne port at the end of April. I guess I’m lining up too. Frustrating. Hire some more people during this time. Anticipate the extra demand.

New-car delivery delays are expected to get worse before they get better, as more than 60,000 vehicles are stranded offshore or in a backlog awaiting quarantine clearance at ports around Australia.

It will be great to hear from you when you have the car, and to know what we can expect!
My Macan S is scheduled for July delivery ~ fingers crossed!
I opted for the factory installed dashcam wiring, although I hope there is some flexibility regarding which dash cam can be installed.
I am sure you won't be disappointed with your S when you finally receive it.
Enjoy your rocket ship!

Got the vehicle delivered on Monday. Went straight to get it ppfed. And finally got it back yesterday. No visible dashcam wires, connections or ports. So have to guess that all the wiring is hidden somewhere. I've also booked in to get a Blackvue 900 2ch dashcam installed. Just posting some random photos right after getting it ppfed. Love the car, but still getting used to an suv coming from a car.It will be great to hear from you when you have the car, and to know what we can expect!
