So when they told you it was Jet Black, they were correct if it is metallic.

I've been reading through this thread (I'm passively looking for a 991.1 C2S) and haven't seen it said explicitly, but reading between the lines, Porsche changed the engine mapping in Sport/Sport + on Sport Chrono equipped cars to increase performance, and to the detriment of emissions regulations. Not sure what else it could be.
Either way, if I was an owner of one of the affected cars, I wouldn't be rushing into a dealer to have them change/update a single thing. It will be interesting to see how this plays out....

I don't know why that would happen. I don't think it's good news for us owners unless we get a check as Volkswagon owners did.

From what I'm gathering, we'll be required to take our cars in for a recall to update software and possibly add a larger cat? I'd just pull it right back off and add a tune.
For those that had an effected VW Diesel, how were the 2nd/3rd owners who didn't buy the car new treated if they wanted to keep the car? Were they also given a check?

The short answer to point 3 (Cayenne Diesel issue) is yes, 2nd owners (or any current owner) received money but only the full amount after the “repair” which was a new EGR and a software update. My mpg never changed. Completely happy I kept it (great track car & boat tow vehicle). Now waiting to see what they have for my ‘13 4S Cab. And maybe the GT4, though the SC on the GT4 is truly just a clock as compared to the 911.

My dealer here in Canada is aware of the stop sale. Apparently they had to pull one car off the market. Not sure where we go from here. Definitely don't want my car nerfed!

I just purchased a 981 Boxster S 6MT with Sport Chrono on Friday from a used car dealer who had bought it from the Porsche dealer a month prior (traded in there). I'm glad its in my hands and I'll want to thoroughly understand what any proposed "fix" might be before having it done. If there is any negative affect to performance, you'd better bet I'd be expecting a check if I were to have it done!
Question, though, as I've noticed that the Auto Start/Stop defeat seems to latch across key cycles (thank the Lawd!). Is this consistent with others' cars? Is this consistent with NON sport chrono cars? I am just wondering if this could be a difference between the SC and non SC cars.
There was also discussion about the engine "hanging" in Normal mode. I just wanted to add a couple notes I've observed from other vehicles and working for OEMs. There are 2 benefits to it. One is emissions related in that suddenly snapping off the throttle would result in excessive unburnt fuel being dumped into the exhaust, so the extended ramp down of throttle helps fully burn it. This is probably much less of an issue on DI engines.
The second issue is for shifting gears at a more relaxed pace. When in Sport+ mode, the revs are dropping at a rate that that requires the shifts to be fast, as well. In Normal, it allows for the revs to drop more slowly so you'll hit the right rpms for the next gear with slower shifts.
