CA got back to me. My car is west coast bound on the NYK PLEIADES LEADER. It left LZC on May 23rd and scheduled to arrive at Port Hueneme/Oxnard VPC on the 28th.

I’ve been on the waitlist since June 13th, 2022. It might be a literal year of waiting to when the car is finally in my hands.

Mid August 2022 for me… ever since I watched Joe Achilles and Shmee take the pre-production car around Salzburgring

I wonder if our cars are roommates?

My build also finished on 5/12 and switched to “in transit” on 5/23.

I’m in NorCal, do all California based cars offload in Longbeach or does the Bay Area have a different point of entry?

The VPC in Oxnard handles the entire west coast I think?

Cool! So probably at the dealer within a couple of weeks?

Thanks for the info!

PLEIADES LEADER has departed Oxnard. Cars that were onboard are now at the VPC

JqotsaL · 05-30-2023, 02:21 PM

My car just hit the port today. Am I in for a long wait before it’s “In Transit?”

Anecdotally, once you get to code 182 or 193, you car is likely being loaded onto a car carrier that day. Nothing is guaranteed in this world, but we've been speculating in the other thread that all us East Coasters are being loaded into the Glovis Spirit today.

Squidget · 05-30-2023, 02:47 PM

In fact, I just myself flipped to "In Transit" within the last hour.

Oh awesome! Thanks for the info.

Finally ticked over to "In transit" today after being RFT for a month.

JqotsaL · 05-30-2023, 04:12 PM

Looks like mine also boarded the ship today!
