Oh wow. You got very lucky! No matter what it's going to be a nice car. Fyi, it seems like they just unloaded the vehicles. The ship already set sail to another destination now. Hopefully, we get that call from our SA soon!
I emailed the SA. Will post reply with I hear back ?.

Any idea how the dealer receives it? Wrapped in what ? What kind of prep is the dealer responsible for ?
The cars are typically shipping covered, with certain areas of the car under the "car cover" having a temporary PPF type film (small sections of most concern), as well as bumper pads. The interior is protected as well with covers etc. It's fun to watch it unload and unwrapped, the dealer typically will let you help (free labor) in the unwrap.

So the dealership does no detailing of any kind?

I'm sorry, yes they do. Once the car is unwrapped they PDI it, take any computer speed limits off, and wash and typically wax it. I usually have the exterior wash and wax done by my guys who are going to do the PPF and ceramic coating, but the dealership will make it pretty and ready for you.

Here is a response from my SA:

“Our systems have not updated just yet, will probably have an updated eta on Monday due to the holiday.”
Here's what my SA said:

"Hi,
Just checked on your car and it looks like it will be leaving port on 2 December. It usually takes between 2 to 4 days to get everything prepped. I would aim for the second week of December. Between the fifth to the 8th of December .
I will keep you posted. "

My TYD finally updated 3 jumps from On Vessel to Port Processing this AM. Dates are unchanged per usual :)

Same here.
I am optimistically expecting to collect the car this weekend.
Sign paper on Friday and take delivery on Sat. :CWL:

Here's to hoping for the best!

My wife is beginning to think I'm a lunatic for having car parts around before the car arrives... I told her I'm nesting. :fingerscrossed:

This is what I got from my SA: Hello! Looks like it is still going through PDI at the Port. Systems say eta to the dealership is the 2nd. So Fingers crossed we might be able to have it ready for the weekend or early next week!

Nice.
My SA is not that proactive. I had to email him yesterday to remind him that my car is coming. So I guess I will try to push him through my imaginary schedule.

The system is not very accurate. Says the ship entered SD on the 29th, but it was actually there on the 25th and my vehicle entered PDI today, leaving the port for the dealer on Friday. My SA says once in PDI it's good news, and typically quick (if no holds) so doesn't think the Friday date is accurate, may leave earlier. Fingers crossed..

Am I the only one that doesn't show a date on their tyd app?

My SA pulled the progress from their system, not TYD, although they seem to both track inaccurately to a certain degree. My car is in PDI, but that is about all they can say, the rest is a best guess by the SA based on historical timelines of other cars they have ordered. The dates listed for leaving PDI in SD, and delivery to the dealer are place marker dates, which are updated with actual dates when the event occurs, that is where the inaccuracy comes from.
