Changed the title.
We’ll let it run for awhile and then consider folding into Waiting Room if it warrants
Those builds impacted post up dealer/PCNA comments/info

The engine problems with the 991.1 ‘14’ GT3s May have pushed production into 2016

I don't think this is halt on production indefinitely. In the beginning it says explicitly that March production has been affected and that there will be early cutoffs of production for the month of March. I am guessing this will give their suppliers time to catch up. I am also guessing the orders that were slated after the cutoffs will be pushed to April. Now this does mean there will be a ripple affect which will further extend wait times for those currently waiting in line (I am one of those people). The big question is how long will the supply chain be affected which is any ones guess.

Part of me is still hoping this is a hoax or fake news 🤢

Just In Time inventory / production requires stability which is also in short supply now. It does show just how fragile the interconnected global production is.
Seems the Porsche production and management people have a less than enviable job now.
I cannot imagine what the Ukrainian people are going through right now, nor the teenage Russian conscripts sitting in those convoys. This is wrong and sad on so many levels.

Heck, this should be a pinned announcement, if we think it’s true. It’s kinda big news.

My finger is poised over the BUY NOW button on a temporary bridge car, if my actual car is somewhere out in the TBD blue sky of the future. There is a pretty PG one in town, but its PDK. Arg.
