Yea, mine was in that status for about 2.5 weeks.

If it goes beyond 3 weeks, then hit up a Genius.

Hoping someone can shed some light. Car was built first week of February. Went through all the stages, was sitting ready for transport for a week or two, then showed up as "In Transit", and has been in transit for about 10 days.
This morning it went back to the "AT THE PORT" status????

You were probably on the Glovis Superior with several others of us here and it probably arrived at the Port of Newark yesterday which is why it went back to "At the Port".

Seems like we're on the same boat..

Hit the "Ready for Transport" stage on 3/8/21 and it has been stuck there. Seeing some of the prior timelines, this is usually the fastest stage of the build.

Fingers crossed for early April!

Hopefully we'll be on the same ship departing soon enough! I feel like we will just skip into the "in transit" stage at some point and the interim stages just aren't updating. Will keep you posted on updates.

There's definitely a chance some / all of us will be on the same one. The ship better depart by end of week if I have any chances at early/mid April

Well we better get on that shit̶p before it departs. Cos I saw the road between the plant and the port and that road aint easy for a truck to get through.

Called BMW Genius yesterday, my car's been ready for transport since 3/9 from San Luis Potosi with no status update, but he did say it was on its way to port so hopefully the rest of your cars are on the way as well! Said it could be in this state for several more days until it gets assigned a carrier at port.

Interesting. I didn't realize a car's stay at the port could be so lengthy.

I get the sense that there aren't frequent car carrier ships going in and out of that port and we just missed a ship that set sail last week, so we're all just getting a bit shafted on timing.

That makes two of us.

[nooobimmer]

Does anyone know how long it takes to get to dealer after getting on a ship? (obviously approx)
