I'm not aware you can..

I think the dealer can probably can get some kind of status but It is usually just if the scheduled start date or has completed.. In reality it doesn't take very long once the build actually starts. I think the car spends more time sitting and getting prepared to ship... I didn't even find out mine was done until the dealer told me it was at the port loading in Northern Germany.

It can be excruciating.. But it will be home soon

Yup. Dealer is the only one with access to the info.

I'm curious how long it should be between offloading from the ship and getting the car. 2 weeks?

In my case it was about a week.. Including about 120 miles from port to my dealer..

Thanks! In your case was it shipped by truck from the port to your dealer? Mine has to travel about 700 miles and is first loaded on to a train. So it will probably be longer.

Yeah, probably figure an extra day to load, day of trans and day to unload.. So probably add 3days to the week I had.. So maybe a week to week and a half from arriving at port I'd guess..

Good stuff. Mine should be getting loaded onto a train soon assuming everything was okay at port. I find it's harder waiting for it the closer it gets! Now that I know it's physially on this continent I just want to get on a flight, fly out to Halifax and pick it up.

Ha! I've been thinking the same!! Especially since RI is only about a 2-3 hour drive; or 6 with Tri-State traffic.

It's a sickness!!

You should have your car by mid to late next week. Good luck with the rest of the wait, and please post pics after you get it!

Just tracked the ship again, she's heading south at the moment, with Houston as it's next port of call. That means one thing......my car is ON THE GROUND IN RHODE ISLAND!!!!

I've heard good things about PM, my boss bought one of his Bentley's there and had a good experience.

Spoke with the dealer a few minutes ago, appears they are getting conflicting traces:

1 - car is being processed and should be released today / tomorrow

2 - car is still on the ship!!

I sure hope it's 1, and not 2!
