Congrats! I’m hoping for the same. Got my fingers crossed we were built late enough to avoid the oil pan work at the VPC.

Orion appears to have taken 14 days to go from Southampton to Baltimore. Horizon is only scheduled for 9 days for the same transatlantic leg.
Last time I checked the schedule I only saw that it's Southampton port was a day later than scheduled. Still keeping my fingers crossed

I think we are going to be okay. Our cars were built after the recall. I can't imagine they would still build them without the correction and then have to fix it later.

What city does your car have to deliver to? I'm picking mine up in Long Beach which is just a half days drive from the port.

My dealer is about a 6 hour drive from the port but then I started thinking about other people's cars that need to stop off along the way to be dropped off at other dealers.

I bet they get the cars unloaded pretty quickly. I've seen these guys work dropping off cars at the local dealership. They get paid per delivery, not by hour :-)

My M550i sat at the VPC for 10 days. Was supposed to pick it up 11/24.

It was finally dispatched from the VPC today scheduled for delivery to the dealer 11/28 and I'll pick it up Thursday 😎

Not a good reason. I think having staff off around thanksgiving was the culprit. Come on people, I'm waiting for my new car. NO GIVING THANKS UNTIL I HAVE MY CAR 😜

Did you sign up for the satellite tracking? I never got around to it and then Orion Highway was due to BAL so I figured I'd just wait until it got closer to shore. Then it got delayed....

Agree on the first part. My build was delayed a few weeks or so, i think this might have been due to getting the right parts for the engine. Anyway, I’m hoping for no more delays. From order to projected pick up, I’m looking at 3 months plus, which is a bit long for having no individual items.

Mine is going to Calabasas, so just an hour or so down the 101 form the port!

must have been a delay as marine traffic says that it should have ported 3 days ago

Thanks! The new date for Baltimore is today, 11/26, per the latest K Line schedule. Based on your screenshot I guess it might be tomorrow before it gets in. When I go to marinetraffic it still shows it out in the English Channel with a date stamp of the 13th or something...

I'm telling myself that they just took the long way around a storm to avoid any bumps and bruises.

There are a number of reasons for it to be delayed at the VDC. Here is a good read as to what happens there:

My car is on a slow ship headed to BALTIMORE. Arriving 12/8. Just in time for Christmas.

I believe it depends on the truck transport scheduled. The trucks will not deliver a single car at a a time and need to be fully loaded with cars going to the same geography. My car sat for a few extra days for the 45 minute drive to the dealer while it waited for more cars to load to take there and nearby dealers.

Nice, looks like I'm still on schedule to port with the ship about 100 miles north of its expected course. About 9 hours to go 150 miles.

My ship has still not reached Baltimore, despite showing scheduled on the 26th. They've been anchored out in the Chesapeake Bay for the last day and a half...

How did you get that chart? I've used marine traffic but only see next port.
