I’m starting to think the memo was fake news, or specific to the Latin America market, which is where the OP is from.

Stop thinking it was...it is, posted couple weeks back that it was likely fake. Or country specific.

Zuffenhausen is building cars!

The memo referred to "production cut-off dates", which to me says production start dates will stop on Mar 17 for GT3/Touring.
They'll finish what they start.

It also said, based on the "latest news from the production department", so subject to change.

I'm sure there must be a YouTube video on how to make a 992GT3 wiring harness just for your build, so when you are done, send it to Stuttgart.
Hey, if Ukrainians can switch from wiring harnesses to cam nets in a weekend, surely you can help Porsche get your GT3 into production.
Sigh, sad times indeed.

As far as wiring harness shortages, It's not fake news. We know that Leoni makes harnesses for Porsche, VW, BMW at their 2 Ukraine facilities employing 7000 skilled workers
Check out this posting on the Leoni web site refering to production losses in Ukraine.
https://www.leoni.com/en/press/relea...e-in-forecast/

We don't know how flexible the various production facilities are to be able to switch, for example, to a GT3 harness in a hurry.
I'm sure they are working frantically to enable those switch overs as required.
We can only hope.

I guess if production date is still shown on 1st April then nothing to worry about it,
by the way what's your Touring color?

very elegant
I went crazy with greens and not liking Python so opted for British Racing Green non met, never seen in person the Porsche one, so it's a risky choice as usual

Very nice. I wanted a PTS green as well (BRG or brewster green) but it was very difficult to get a PTS allocation here in Europe...

Ah, so the fact that TYD is still showing my production date as 6/22/22 probably doesn't mean much at this point.

If it's any consolation to worried folks, my June ED received final confirmation today. My car production schedule has not changed this year. All is on track timeline wise as of 2 weeks ago.

Zuffenhausen is building cars.
