The Camellia Ace has rounded the Florida Keys and is Full-Speed Ahead for Houston!
Marinetraffic.com shows an ETA of very late on Sept. 1 and the Port of Houston Expected Arrivals that you linked shows an ETA of Sept. 2. I'm not sure where my SA got their update but I'll bet my S4 is on the Camellia Ace.

Default Ok just got my VIN # what next?

I just got the newest sheet from my dealer and looks like the date slid a little and they are;

Actual Production week 8/22
Factory inspected 8/27
Ship loaded 9/5
port arrived 9/16
Rel to carrier 9/22
Dealer delivered retail 10/3

So it went from 9/26 bmoved up to 9/12 now it looks back to 10/3

so how do I track it now that it seems to be built?

Thanks

basically you are trying to match up the dates your SA gives you to the shipping schedule available here: http://www.pwl.de/static/schedules/vwl_hb.pdf. from there, you'll know the name of the ship and can track it via the sites mentioned below.

from the schedule, it looks like yours will be on the "NIPPON HIGHWAY"!!!

Nippon Highway? Is the Emden ETA what I go by and then the Davisville date as well? That lines up with my dates for Talia

So you are from Atlanta?

I'm in North Carolina ... mine's probably going to either Brunswick, GA or Davisville RI. What do you guys think ?

Spoke to my Sales Mgr today.

He said my car was ship loaded 9/4 and should hit the port 9/30 in San Diego (Port Hueneme shows the 29th) So i assume its on Themis Leader. Anybody else on this ship?

He told me delivery date is 10/17. 2 and a half weeks from Port thats about an hour away from the dealer? lmao.

My Q5 could be on that ship as well. Per my sales rep, the car was supposed to ship end of Aug. He sent me an update on Aug 31 saying that the car is 'In transit' and he sent me the VIN on Sep 1. He couldn't tell me if the car left the port or the name of the vessel. I'm from CA as well, and I was tracking Toscana which is supposed to reach Port Hueneme on Sep 21. My sales rep also mentioned that they have been receiving the cars about a week earlier (with respect to ETA).
