G63 delay at port for a month. Is it normal now?

My order 2020 G63 arrived at port on the first week of August. Dealer called me this morning saying due to downsized port capacity, it's still sitting at port and hopefully be released in early September. Did anybody experience this long wait?

What port? Brunswick GA is operating at a normal pace without delays. Needless to say a delay at the port can be due to vehicle problems so make sure you inspect it well once it arrives.

Thanks. It's in Baltimore. It's unusual long wait. Hopefully nothing wrong with the car.

Baltimore is fully back and running for months. Make sure there is no BS going on around.

Apparently, my car is READY status at VPC without eta showing. So, it's not the vehicle problem.
Found out it from a friend who's working at another dealership.
This is super weird that dealer is not providing an honest answer why it's not being pulled in.
I'm losing my patience. Hopefully it arrives soon...

I have a 2020 G63 on the way as well my build was for third week of June. It sat at the port in Germany until early august and now finally the vessel is on its way to the port here in Canada. I’m guessing it’s port delays.

I'm losing my patience. If this wasn't msrp deal, I would've walked away long time ago.
