Nice! GL!

Also - advanced to Dispatched from the factory! Our ladies may be waiting at the port together.

Haha, cool. I’ve been waiting at port for a few days so, who knows when it’ll leave. Hopefully soon…but we shall see. I guess I could check with the geniuses! Mine will be going to Brunswick…which seems to have fewer ships than other ports, I think?

In paint booth today 👍

Turns out the geniuses at the Welt didn’t have access to my build, so My Garage is the only source of info. They said the factory is totally separate from them and they cannot see into their systems. 🤷 Wish I would’ve had time for a tour, maybe next time.

I am a long time follower but today is the first time I register and post, as I want to share in the anticipation and excitement.

My car went to assembly yesterday, multiple updates followed in quick succession, and it was dispatched from the factory!

mcsquared · 07-18-2023, 01:26 PM

Nice! Congrats and welcome to the forums! Nice spec there.

Smkn LS1, good stuff. Too bad you couldn’t get a tour.

Welcome! That is an absolutely beautiful color. Mine is also dispatched from factory. Are you US delivery? Mine is west coast.

Thank you! Yes, in the DFW area so Galveston port

MadMoose · 07-18-2023, 09:08 PM

Nice, mine was dispatched from factory today as well

snowbord3369 · 07-19-2023, 06:08 AM

^^Nice! I’m still waiting at Port.

Finally made it to port… took way longer then I thought. Did yours ship?

Mine has been in dispatched from factory since Monday morning. Still the same as of this comment.

snowbord3369 · 07-19-2023, 09:34 AM

yeah it def took some time, at least based on the timing of mine you should be there either later today or first thing tomorrow morning (our time).

hhkb · 07-19-2023, 11:11 AM

At the port!

In quality check today!

yolodaddy69 · 07-19-2023, 06:11 PM

Went to 151 this afternoon, so was in 150 about 8 days.

High Octane · 07-19-2023, 07:19 PM

Haven't posted in this thread, but mine just updated a few days ago.

2024 M4 6spd. Skyscraper + Fiona.

I'm in the Chicago area. The excitement is definitely building for me.

mcsquared · 07-19-2023, 09:41 PM

Nice all! Things are moving right along. Seems the port is going to take some time to get it on a ship, depending on where it's going. That's what I'm experiencing, so far. Teaches you how much patience you do/don't have...that's for sure. haha.

mloiaco · 07-19-2023, 10:18 PM

Dispatched from factory today. Destination port is Brunswick, GA. Any intel on how long the trip takes from the factory to the Bremerhaven? And when the next ship to Brunswick goes out?

A few (3-5 days) to the port. Then, no clue, as that's the same ship I'm waiting on since mine will arrive at the same port. Car has been at port since last Friday morning (7/14).

It's somewhere here:

It was a screenshot taken a few minutes ago, of what I believe is 'live.'

Beyond that, all I know is there's a few cars somewhere in this part of Bremerhaven - HERE - stuck waiting for a ship to Brunswick!

mloiaco · 07-20-2023, 07:53 AM

Let us know when you get on your boat to Brunswick. Good luck and congrats!

The satellite photo is not live. But the boat info is.

As mcsquared said, Marine Traffic shows you live boat data, but it's in graphical form. It's easier seen with the satellite imagery turned off. But it's cool to see what the port actually looks like.
