Tracking the Delivery of your baby

If your car has to cross an ocean to get to you, I believe this is a way to track delivery (taken from the pieces I could put together). It should work for US and Canada. Not sure what the Australian lines are.

Once your spec is firm, your dealer should give you a car build schedule. Find the date of the German exit from their port, probably Emden. You probably want to get an updated schedule as the date gets closer. Schedules can change and what you have in January could be different in a couple of months.

Go here. On the right side select your trade route (e.g., USA).

For USA and, I think, Canada, select VW Logistics

A PDF schedule will come up. Ask your dealer for the boat name. Look at the schedule column for the date that boat leaves the dock. For example, today it looks like the Gracious Ace leaves Emden 1/30 and docks in Halifax Canada and then RI. US west coast cars might go to Houston.

Go here. While the ship is near land, you can track it. Not sure how to track it in the open ocean because it uses a different system. There are also apps for smart phones that can track it.

Once the ship is back near land, you can track it until it docks.

Once PDI is done, you can start looking at all the car haulers on the road near you and hope you car is on one of them :)

I hope this helps somebody interested in tracking delivery of their car (which is different from tracking their car ;).

You can also just google this and find lots of entries where people tracked their delivery.

edit: 21 Nov 2022. my.porsche.com might be able to allow some form of tracking

The most annoying part of this delay for me, personally, is that my inspection, emissions and registration all expire at the end of June. With a new delivery date of 7/7 I'll let those roll a week, but if it gets pushed back again it'll cost me a couple hundred 😒
Sunshine Ace is at sea near Emden port, has not been moving A DAY! ETA by vessel AIS was 5/22 9am, now Emden port expected it arrive on 5/24 11pm while the carrier already arrived near Emden LOL. It is Panama canal accident ver 2.0. What the heck is going on Emden port for god sake
Noticed a lot of peoples dates got updated to from May 22nd to June 22nd on this forum as well as the 911 forums. I still have not seen ay updates on my Porsche App and it is still showing May 22nd as the date for "Your vehicle has left the port of shipmen". No checkmark however. I am on the same boat (Non pun intended) as @EdenDPT, cannot imagine having the car sit in Emden for a month! What are the latest ships out of Emden (Schedule) for VW? (Mine would be coming to Halifax)

Best bet for you and I is SUNSHINE ACE which is finally moving slowly to EMDEN PORT, expecting to arrive at the port tomorrow. SUNSHINE ACE will be heading to Halifax and Houston leaving the port on 5/25 to 26 according to recent Volkswagen export schedule(you can scroll up to see the schedule, I uploaded it here). My SA told me that I am not the only one pissed at him, LOL, he is expecting two macans including mine, and one 911 on that ship.

Don’t know if I’m lucky or unlucky for it not updating

Looks like I hit the lottery! My Macan GTS made it aboard the Siem Aristotle today on 5/24, scheduled to arrive in Davisville on 6/4/2023! Feeling lucky tonight.

I'm getting the same error too. The app on my phone still seems to be working.
Logged on today to see if anyone else was getting the "technical problem" on their tracker ... everyday seems to be something new, LOL.

BTW did anyone else get a gift from Porsche? Gentian blue leather cardholder arrived on my doorstep last night with a sweet message. Liked it but would much rather have my car loool

I got that card wallet as well and using it LOL. It would been better if they personalized it to match vehicle color that ordered. Please have my GTS on board in Sunshine Ace
