"AT THE PORT" (Bon Voyage)

My new X5 went from "DISPATCHED" to "AT THE PORT" in just 2 days. According to my CA, the car was scheduled to arrive at the VPC exactly 15 days after it changed to DISPATCHED. I was with the CA yesterday and he looked it up on his computer and sure enough it said, "ETA to VPC 01/29/2018". So though I read "AT THE PORT" meant it has arrived at the VPC, I'm thinking that's not exactly accurate, unless it took the train only 2 days to roll from Spartingburg to California.

The "Bon Voyage" comment leads me to think "AT THE PORT" means it's somewhere between Spartingburg and Oxnard.

I believe "At the port" means anything in between arriving at the train depot for shipment in Spartanburg until the time it leaves the VPC in California. At least, that is my take on it. Mine has been "At the port" status for several weeks and should be arriving to my dealer today or tomorrow. Apparently there were a ton of X5s held up at the VPC for some software upgrades to DSC.

I'm also stuck in that state for something like two weeks. Hoping next week is the week.

I've been there for 3 weeks so I finally called my CA for the first time to check and he said it got released to the carrier from the port today so it should be only a matter of days now.
