I'm here in North Carolina and mine got pushed out to mid June. I was told there would be no tariffs added, but we'll see.
do you remember the original ETA? Does the progress say “Not Available” for yours as well?

im buying from a NorCal dealer and shipping it back so it shouldn’t take as long once its loaded on the truck. Hoping to meet other owners in Seattle once I get it though. Are there any local groups I should be aware of?
Might still take a while to get it from Long Beach then.

@Loco38SUP organizes in the Seattle area. Avants is the local car "club" that many are a part of

yeah I’ve been an Avants member since 2019 but the club has been really watered down in recent years. Seems like Adam has been focusing on growing the brand nationally. They used to have really cool drives particularly before the pandemic. Now it just seems like a big circlejerk for Porsche guys and rich folks.

@Loco38SUP is there a Facebook group I can join?

No Facebook group, I post in the Northwest section here and on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/loco38sup/profilecard/?igsh=MXNzN2twaG03MTJiNw==

Im planning a meet soon now that the weather is getting better.

Mine arrived at the port on 5/7 and I’m still waiting for it after 2 weeks. Originally there was an ETA on the tracker with 5/24 being the ETA to the dealership. But now there’s not ETA available anymore (it says Not Available).

Anyone else waiting for their 2025/2026 from being processed at the port?
autos are not delayed at port, nor is there any congestion. I have friends with the ILWU and all is good (casuals are even getting some work as well). As others have mentioned, the updates are notorious for being incorrect. in addition, delays can also be attributed to the dealers waiting for the codes from the mfr/Austria which takes time.

thanks for the insight. I’m hopeful I’ll get some news in the coming week. What is the codes the dealers wait for?

Yeah the Porsche circlejerk gets annoying a bit. The deals are nice though. The tire discount basically pays for the membership YoY since I track the car.

yeah no doubt. The discounts are worth it. I just stay away from the Facebook group.

Are you on IG? Would love to follow your track build as that’s my plan with this car as well. My last track car was a mk7.5 Golf R

It's tariffs. The entire supply chain is fucked up with panic buying and channel stuffing before the Dumbass in Chief's 90-day pause expires. Plus the previous-and-not-yet-solved supply chain carnage of ports running empty and creeping into drayage.

It's cool stuff when you lose a trade war you started.
Nonsense!

Just got a phone call that mine should be at the dealership any time between 28th and 31st. So as early as tomorrow.

The dealership preferenced a Stratosphere Blue or Nocturnal base or premium for me. So Toyota allocated 1 Supra to the dealership and it's a Nocturnal Final Edition :(. Luckily there's no markup from this dealership, but Supra "edition" cars in the US are just scummy money grabs.

I finished calling other dealerships and everything is either spoken for or they have a markups that make them almost as much or more than the Final Edition.

I'm gonna be an idiot and buy it. Really got no other choice and I'm itching to start tearing this car apart.
