I have a friend with a GT4 currently rolling down the line, at least that's according to TYD and his SA who provided a VIN. The VIN is the most encouraging sign.

My 718 CGTS completed assembly yesterday (4/10) So the line is still running for some vehicles.

I spoke with my friend early last week and he said the plant never shut completely down, and that it was running pretty smoothly right now.

I have to admit that what Porsche has been able to accomplish during all of this is nothing short of astounding. The list of struggles they’ve gone through is immense. I know a lot of folks are going through the same struggles, but let’s not forget the cargo ship that was lost, nor the Ukraine specific supply line that may not be suppliers for other auto manufacturers. At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if there were other issues that we haven’t heard about they were able to circumvent either. You really have to take your hats off to them.

Great to hear, does it mean allocations will start flowing normally now?

Depends what you mean by normally. 2020 normal and prior? No way. Normally in that there’s still not enough to go around in any way shape or form? Well, yeah, probably
