City of Rotterdam is back at Emden loading up for Grimsby by the looks of it! Fingers crossed for anyone else waiting

It went there via Newcastle (From Grimsby). Must have dropped off all the Scottish Taycan's on the detour :)

Certainly was, It may have been for a service/repair as Tyne is one of the few docks that can do a wet repair

Porsche don’t use the port but Audi/VW do so it could have dropped my Etron off :facepalm:

LOL..... What we do know is that there is one lucky Red owner there !! ;-)
And we hope it is our Carmine Red Turbo S coming to the US, not the UK. :)
Our Porsche guy says it is in Emden.

I told you guys earlier in the thread to expect all your cars in July :)

Dealers had zero incentive to deliver cars in June!

But the Dealers also don’t have any control of when the cars arrive in the UK, they haven’t been sat on them

BMW I’m picking up tomorrow they were desperate to get that out by the bend of June as that’s the end of Q2 as most manufacturers work on quarters

Exactly what I said above. This quarter was "written off" for most dealer groups (Porsche) and no bonus was payable for this quarter hence why cars were delayed to July onwards. Porsche themselves were probably not prioritising their deliveries for this reason.

My car is actually arriving at the dealership on the original date so it’s certainly not the case for mine, as I I’ve said previously I’ve been told by Porsche and Audi while speaking to them about my cars that VW are pulling rank and prioritizing their own models on the boats and they are having to share what space is left
as its them that own some of the boats and operate some others

ill decide next week what I’m going regards mine (just awaiting the revised figures from my dealership)
im picking up my BMW X5 45e tomorrow so that will keep me entertained for a few days while I’m deciding
