Yes these issues do take the shine off the car. As others have said the car is so good I'm not even considering a lemon law claim. The good thing is I would not be driving the GT3 the last few weeks, I would be in my DD. Instead I putting miles on the dealer's Panamera S eHybrid.

its not just about this issue... lots of little things on the boards, from the wheels chipping with less than 500 miles on them, to missing buttons, to problems with lift or sensor or whatever.... Im still very excited to get my car this week, I am just troubled to keep seeing these posts...

I would not get too concerned. It appears it is happening to a lot of cars but it is not that many. Also; they will fix it and if Porsche ends to make a better thermostat ect they will do so and issue a recall for all to receive them. My 2011 Audi R8 V10 had like (3) recalls all for little things like this. No biggy.

They said the complexity of the GT3 requires a few extra days. Although, I don't see how complex changing a thermostat can be... They did get me a loaner tho.

Cold weather trigers thise two errors.
It goes away once ebgine is fully warmed up and running hard. Engine control error will go away after a few lock unlock open door lock unlock cycle.
I dont think it is serious and needs fixing. I think it is just cold weather .

Especially given that Porsche cold weather tests their cars. Extensively.
And it's not like its warm and sunny during the winter in Stuttgart.

See sandiegodavid's post titled "another bad thermostat" - according to his service people a new thermostat part / replacement has been released as of a day or two ago

Just FYI - My 2014 Gt3 did exactly as others... coolant warning, check engine. Took it to Hennessy. They fixed it in a few hours - parts were in stock.
I had a 2015 cayenne diesel loaner - what a great ride.
