Trying to see if a ship is going to be filled up soon. (I'm in NYC/East Coast)

I have been in FA since 9.3 and I am in NY.

M340i, Dravit grey, been stuck in RFT for two weeks also.

My port is hueneme, the Olympian highway just left Mexico, I’ve heard it could take a couple days for the tracker to update. Hopefully we’re on it!🤞

Went “In Transit” today! Colorado bound. About a month in RFT.

[lowthforgue]

Also switched to In Transit today.

Called Genius & was told:
-left 9/15. 5 day voyage. 9/20th arrival.
-going to Port Hueneme, on Dionysos Leader
-after arrival, 5-6 days to get on truck
-2-3 days travel to dealership

I can't wait.

Woohoo! I just switched to In Transit as well so we must be on the same boat. 😁

[AZHusky]

Likewise in transit now. Guarantee we are all on Dionysos Leader which will be at Long Beach tomorrow and then port Hueneme another day or two later.

Thanks for that info! The wait is almost over!

Great seeing everyone’s progress. Wishing you all a speedy and safe delivery. Looking forward to the pictures.

Badge and the other midwest folks in RFT:

I spoke to Genius today and they told me the car is supposedly just waiting on the boat to get full. The gentleman on the phone said if it were his car, and I knew what he knew, that I should call back friday to find out which vessel i’m on. He didn’t wanna make any promises, but I will be on the lookout later this week.

[drac]

Do cars going to the Midwest & East Coast go on the same ship?

I'm in NJ, and it seems like the last ship (Glovis Solomol) heading over to the East Coast left on 9/13 .... so does that mean us east coasters will be waiting awfully a lot for another ship to get full??

That's so exciting!! I'm still in FA - hopefully mine is done in time to make the same ship as you! I know it's a random guess, but see my previous quote for one possible ship that leaves Altamira on Friday

I added these couple other scenarios to my watchlist:
Arc Integrity - Altamira 9/22 to Baltimore 9/30
Patriot - Altamira 9/26 to Baltimore 10/5

Been in FA for over 3 weeks, eastcoast struggle...

Most Midwest cars go through Baltimore. I don't know if they split a ship between multiple East Coast ports during multiple stops or if one ship is fully unloaded at a single port in the US.

Dionysos Leader just left Long Beach and is now on it’s way to Port Hueneme where BMW’s VPC is. Expected in Port Hueneme in 13 hours. Getting closer!

There are several different posts/articles/etc of the BMW Oxnard VPC but here is one I found that is somewhat recent from 2018.

Welcome to the East Coast ship waiting queue

1. Order Received 8/1
2. Production Begins 8/21
3. Quality Check 9/4

My sales advisor said delivery would likely happen around the end of this month or early October. Sweeeeet.

Is it too late to put in a request for the MPE at the port?

Edit: In final assembly, same day 9/4

Went into Ready for Transport about last Thursday, 9/14. Hopefully I get to hop on a ship ASAP!

My status still shows FA, but I just spoke to Genius and she informed me that my car is waiting at the port to be picked up. Wouldn't give up any additional info, but I'm staying hopeful to be included on that ship with SimbaE46

My status shows RFT but Genius confirmed at the port on Monday. No vessel assignment yet but hoping for Arc Integrity.

[AZHusky]

For those of us on Dionysos Leader, my status updated to “at the port” so seems like off the boat and going through VPC now.

Same for me. Called the Genius. She said that car should leave Oxnard by 23rd.
