Aloha Everyone,
This is my first and hopefully not the last post to the forum. I got the call from my local Porsche dealer that that my CT4 will be get delivered from the Honolulu port today. According to the dealership this will be the first CT in Hawaii (I guess I have to believe them since there's only one Porsche dealership here). They will send me some initial photos when it comes off the truck.
I've read a lot about other forum member's MY21 Tycan's getting delayed until Dec 21 and a lot of their orders went in the same time as mine. I guess I must have gotten lucky in that regard. See my timeline below:
23 Jun - Order created
8 Jul - Production start
26 Jul - Production complete
08 Aug - On Vessel
23 Sep - Arrive San Diego CA port
01 Oct - Arrive Honolulu port
05 Oct - Arrive dealership
When I pick it up this Friday/Saturday I'll post photos and go into more detail of what mine came with. Really excited...I currently have a Macan GTS and for Hawaii that's almost too much because of traffic, speed limits, and general road conditions. The CT4 has similar horsepower & torque so really looking forward to see how she handles. Before I really drive it, it's going straight for full body Expel 10 PPF and tint...like I said the roads in Hawaii are not the best and you can easily get serious road debris damage without driving hard.
UPDATE: My sales rep sent some quick photos before it goes into prep. I'm picking the "Green Hornet" up Saturday.
UPDATE 2:
Aloha Everyone, I just wanted to give you all an update on my "almost" delivery of my CT. Apparently I can't take formal delivery yet because the TMPS module needed to be installed. I've read in previous forums that this was normally done at the port of entry in my case San Diego but there are some Porsches being delivered to dealerships with instructions for them install it. I get it the whole supply chain is upside down now but the TPMS that should have been included was missing so Porsche had to FedEx it. At least my dealership has allowed me to go ahead and give it to the PPF/Tint folks because they are booked through the remainder of the year (only one Expel authorized installer in Hawaii). Frustrating times but when I pick up the car from PPF I'll take it over to Porsche to install the TPMS Modul (takes less than 5 mins from what I'm told). I'll post some scenic photos of on the North Shore for all to see next week.
