Maybe you are right I am insensitive or maybe the whole story doesn't make any sense per se,
we all know which country is waiting behind the Russian game right? That day will we cry as it was an accident again ?

Yes, there was some overflow to Osnabruke. However, you are not correct that most 718s came from there. For 2021 MY - 93% of the 718s came from Zuffenhausen, 7% from Osnabruck. There are currently none scheduled for 2022.

Edit: Also - a bit more detail. No 718s from Osnabruke were PTS and none were Boxsters.

You are trying to turn this into a political debate or some conspiracy theory (I dont understand the point you are trying to make). As you typed that message, Russia started a fire in a nuclear plant. I think we have bigger problems to worry about than some wire harnesses. It is very sad that we have to explain whats going on to our kids who have just gone through Covid and started returning to some normalcy. I hope this madness stops as quickly as it started and we get back to normal soon. I dont care when I get my car. I’ll eventually get it. Better late than never.

But the two are not mutually exclusive.

A person can both be empathetic towards the plight of the Ukrainian people and be pissed about the production delays of their GT3

I would give up my to be build Porsche in a heart beat to exchange my happiness to the wellbeing of those people who are suffering through this. I think we need to take it down a notch here with complaining. My car was lost in Felicity Ace (and I have been waiting for 8 months) and it appears that I won't get a car for at least another 6 months but for some reason I worry more about kindergartens being bombed than my stupid luxury car.
Dude, no one on here wants anyone to die. Kids have been dying as a result of government decisions for hundreds of years. I remember watching videos of dying rooms in China where people dump off their babies, they’re tied to a chair, and rock to their death trying to get out.


I mean, you could literally call everyone on this forum an a-hole for having a stable of fancy cars, and not doing the right thing with their money and funding whatever charity that feeds a child and puts a roof over their head.

A stable of fancy cars? I pre-traded my car on 10/3/20 and haven’t had one since….. it’s on the way, it’s on the way, it’s on the bottom of the Atlantic…..

Just think, if NATO would have stepped away from Ukraine like Putin asked none of this would even have happened. Imagine how many civilians the USA would kill if Russia put missiles at the boarder of Mexico and and the USA.

You can’t even rule out that possibility at this point, although I feel like it would be China, not Russia.

NATO didn't support Ukraine joining the alliance. Ukraine wanted too and they are a sovereign country with their own right of self determination. Don't blame NATO. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/13/u...o-ukraine.html

About as many who died during the Cuban missile crisis.

But what does this have to do with GT3 production?

See, this is where we reach max idiocy.

Someone here starts a non-thinking alarmist thread with an incorrect and misleading title. Most of us know the 911 is not built in Leipzig but numnuts OP was too excited to start a thread to bother checking before blurting.
Then an editor for an internet site which seeks clicks just blindly turns this incorrect information into an article because "SCOOP YEAY!", more non thinking people who can't be bothered to realize that 911's aren't produced in Leipzig read the article.. and the stupid rumor propagates. The dog is now wagging its own tale in an endless cycle of idiocy.

Seriously, this is why we can't have nice things... hopefully in future the editor of that article starts using some critical thinking before parrotting what they read ON AN INTERNET FORUM FFS!!!

Hopefully OP is at least getting a chuckle out of this.. did you hear about how Porsche has turned the Leipzig factory into making Cayenne-shaped armored tanks?

You may want to rethink your reply here…while he may have stated the incorrect plant for 911s, the memo posted clearly states that all models will be affected by this temporary production halt. And several posters, myself included, have confirmed this to be a legit internal memo.
