I believe this is where Porsche Exclusive is--i.e., where all the CXX options get put on a car?

Isn't that where the cars go for scratches and dents?

I believe it's just a holding/staging compound after the cars leave the factory by truck to get on a train to Emden. I think they are only there a day or less.

My car was kept there for a couple months prior to ED.

But not all cars go there. I remember seeing various production schedules in other threads and some cars stops there but most don’t...

I believe it's a holdover / logistics location. All my past cars shipped via Bremerhaven passed through Kornwestheim (incl. the Macan with nothing funky in the build whatsoever).
