Confused. Maybe unlucky?
I've checked the WW website repeatedly, and literally every VIN plus or minus 15 from mine was loaded on Thalatta. Something like 60 VIN numbers behind me loaded on the ship.
Any chance they didn't scan my car going onto the boat? Car should be going to Baltimore. Am I missing something?

It's possible you're on something else though. Are you doing a normal dealership delivery? Or did you do Euro Delivery, or are you doing BMW PCD down in Spartanburg? Your SA should be able to tell you what ship you're on once you make it to one.

I was a week 37 build and production was completed 9/11 or 9/12. Per the genius I am sitting in the port awaiting transport, with the status unchanged since 9/18 or so. Normal delivery to my dealership in Syracuse. Maybe I'm headed in via the port of NY instead of Baltimore?
I did check the other lines, and didn't see scheduled visits to Baltimore or NY (NJ) that would have left at the appropriate times. I hate to admit it, but it's worse knowing, and yet not knowing.

How do you know yours is on there? The genius is telling me it's still at the port. I know genius can be a few days behind, but this would be 10ish days into that journey. Talked to the dealer, and they printed a status sheet on my car and it says ALT PORT is NYC... which makes me question what ALT PORT means? There's no primary port on the build sheet... so does that mean the delivery port is NYC? I really hate sounding like a clueless fool asking these questions, but this whole process is as clear as mud... Add to that I've had the top spot at my dealership since June of 2016, and I'm very skeptical about every part of this process.

If you've been in-line since June 2016, how has it taken so long to get a car? I started looking in late June 2017, and my car is on the Thalatta and should be landing in Port Hueneme on October 22nd. 4 months of waiting has been (and continues to be) agonising for me; I can only imaging what 16 months of waiting must feel like! To be fair, if I'd just accepted the ridiculous offers from dealers in a 200 mile radius of my home, I'd have paid $10k over list and probably waited as long as you. I'm happy to travel the 400ish miles to get one at MSRP from a very helpful dealer. Many other people on here have travelled a lot further than that to get an allocation at a reasonable price.

I’ve never ordered a car before, and didn’t need the car. It actually began when VW buybacks started (had a Passat tdi). I thought an M2 would be great fun in the Adirondacks. I could buy a beater truck (lake effect snow) and garage the M2 next to my ‘71 2002 in the winter. So, after 8 months with no allocations, the dealer gave me my deposit back, and I bought a new truck. 4 months later they got a slot for a 2018, and here I wait. So, I was never on the actual list with a build number until July 3rd if this year.

There are a number of Kline ships on that schedule that are viable candidates for your car - but as has been said before - Genius can tell you boat name a few days after it gets loaded. Weirdly, vp's Sierra Nevada Highway journey (arriving Baltimore Oct 2) does not show on any of their schedules - although it does show up on the transpacific schedule departing Baltimore on Oct 3. |

Here's a progress update for those who have cars, like me, on the Thalatta:
Let me know if you'd like me to add any other vessels to the 'fleet' that I'm tracking. I was tracking Morning Courier as well, but I don't think there are any W37 cars on that one, so I stopped.

Port call got pushed to the 23rd. Panama Canal on 14th, so hopefully we can catch it on the webcam. |

Nezil,
Would greatly appreciate it if you could add "Oregon Highway" to your fleet. A couple of WK36s and and my WK37 plus some others are on board heading for Jacksonville then Galveston. Last reported location I could find was a day ago. TIA |
