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.
7%? Maybe that’s a global number but the two spreadsheets a member put together for US builds was way higher. He was only documenting 4.0 cars.
Regardless, my point was Caymans (and GT4) are produced elsewhere
My SA contacted me & gave me my VIN today. The ‘scheduled for production’ milestone on TYD also completed today after being offline most the day. It really goes to show how inaccurate TYD can be. My build week was pushed from 3/11-3/18 to 3/18-3/25. Can a VIN be produced two weeks before the car ‘starts’ production?

That's exactly what happened to mine a couple weeks ago. I'm scheduled to go CP8 next Friday after finally getting to Start Production yesterday. I'm unsure if the VIN was produced, the car actually went into production and TYD lagged for a couple weeks or the VIN was produced and a couple weeks passed before the car started production.
Point stands regardless... If "journalists" are getting their info from car forums... then the tail IS wagging the dog. What value are they providing if the are writing based on this.
It's not about the OP.. we all come here to write whatever we want, Rennlist is for entertainment, and I wrote that I hope he's getting a chuckle out of this. It's the DRIVE writer looking for click bait who is the problem.
It says in the memo that 911 production will not shut down until 3/17 if I remember correctly. Macan, Panamera, etc production shut down yesterday or today depending on the model. Again, going from memory here.
I do agree with you about a journalist getting info from Rennlist. Pretty lazy to just write that down instead of calling Porsche, even a local dealer, and confirming the story. BMW is also saying that all production is shutting down indefinitely until they can figure out another supplier.
According to my dealer here ib northern Europe, it is hard to say how many 911 GT cars will be affected. What he also said was that according to what the factory had told him, it would be a delay, not a cancelling of production.
Can't help but wondering whether or not things are different in Europe compared to the US market.

I would believe this information to be accurate, the dealers in the US are just trying to deflect what has already been a series of setbacks. So trying to explain that there IS going to be a delay vs. we HOPE there wont be is just being vague as all of the US dealers I have spoken to are being.
I agree.
And now I’m extremely happy I didn’t sell my 992 GT3, even with that hefty profit!
You never know. This war might drag on and Porsche might not be able to produce as many of these GT3s and the whole GT line up never recovers in N/A form and your car becomes a classic.

I’m usually an optimist, but regardless, I’m loving every min driving it. Don’t really pay that much attention to what it will or will not be in the future. Hopefully things will get better soon, but I’m sure we’ll find something else to complain about

another scenario… Germany revolts the whole Greta Thunberg idea and produces MORE NA ICE
