I think we're a week or two behind; not sure. I missed the season opener which was shown here on 2/9 but went back and downloaded it via On Demand. I have 2 others recorded but haven't watched them to see if the Porsche slam is included. The did test the 918 in the 3rd episode I think....

Just thinking out loud and another possibility. Maybe it's taking a long time for PAG to come out because they are in process of manufacturing new engines so when they come out they have the goods on hand? Wonder how long it would take them to put together say 750 new engines?

At some point Porsche is going to have to provide a full explanation of why they issued the stop sale order. If that is the case, Porsche should provide us with an update of their investigation and estimates of how long it will take. It doesn't matter if they have reached any conclusions as to what the problem is or what the fix will be.
They need to be overly transparent about this. To go into total silence mode is the worst possible PR strategy. They must understand that many of us can and will deal with what they have to say but we abhor deafening silence as if we do not matter.
I understand the German pride in their engineering talents but there are times when it is best to acknowledge mistakes and move on.
Porsche needs to lift its communication ban and tell us owners something.
