Some ships carry commodities or ordinary stuff in containers. Some carry the hopes and dreams of the passengers onboard. Not the Hoegh Detroit! It has this beauty onboard: http://www.porsche-code.com/PNJ4QTY0 ...and many others! Currently in Belgium, and due in Sydney on 11 March with multiple stops on the way.

Who else has their new Taycan onboard?

So far the process has been straight-forward: Ordered and locked on 24 November (after weeks absorbing the combined wisdom of this forum), completed build on 4 Jan (...hopefully not produced during New Year's Eve celebrations in Zuffenhousen...) and now en-route.

You did well to get this so quickly. I ordered in Adelaide first week of Jan, allocation/build is for April with earliest delivery expected in July. It seems like an age!

wow we thought we had it bad here in the US how long we had to wait for our cars and endure "smash my dreams" and track the ship day by day. You are on a whole different level there!

Indeed! Fortunately the dealer had an allocation available which locked on the day I was ready to buy. (I was told at the time that the next slots were several months away.) Fortunately again, there were no production delays. The longest part of the whole process is the shipping. I hope that the production of your vehicle is equally probem-free.

MarineTraffic.com is now bookmarked :) I thought I obsessed too much over the options, but now I MUST know where the vessel is and how fast it is going…

After a holiday in Jamaica, now headed for the Panama Canal. This is going to be a very well-travelled Taycan by the time it arrives in Australia!

Ship left Auckland today bound for Australia... Melbourne first stop, then Sydney. Given all of the uncertainty around supply chains, I feel quick lucky knowing that my Taycan is almost here. Now, there is just one big storm left to get through in the Tasman Sea...

Anyone else expecting a delivery in Australia soon?
