Read this about VW harnesses but where does that Porsche info come from? Couldn't find it via google unless I phrased my search wrong.

Same. Looking forward to hearing what Matt says. I feel like he tends to be a bit more realistic about how "street-able" a car is.

Main wiring harnesses are most critical since first thing to be installed in painted body.
But has anyone heard what is going on with PCCB?

Article from WSJ attached. I made a PDF of it in case you don't have a subscription.

I guess sanctions are prohibiting auto sale in Russia now. So maybe that supply gets diverted back into Europe.

Fingers crossed cooler heads eventually prevail here. I worked in the Ukraine for a few years in the 2000's, and loved the land. Had Ukrainians and Russians on my team and it was a great atmosphere with fantastic technical debate. Insanely clever people and great engineers. Highest respect for all of them. They had moved on from the past.
