Blacked out letters are the call, imo.

The door handles are such a faceplant, and were dictated by a manager no longer present. We are stuck with them—at the very least until 992.2.

The handles aren't too bad in person; I didn't find them to be a problem or glaring issue. The issue that Harris had could be an unfortunate bug with the particular car Porsche loaned him to test.

^ My fingers slipping off twice in one day wasn't a bug or a glitch. Just bad, unergonomic design.

As for adding electric motors where they weren't needed? Another bummer. Only thing I can say for the handles is they are flush. But I don't think they look or function better than the 991.2 handles...

Thats right up there with noting that you can't reach the opposite door like you could in air cooled cars. Next he'll complain that newfangled Porsches leave no oil on his garage floor.
If I have to read a manual to operate a door, how is that my fault?

One attribute of a well designed product is that it does not require training.

LOL. Maybe Porsche should include a button on the remote to open the door like the frunk.

The other interesting consequence of this brilliant engineering is that when you do sell it to someone who needs a manual to operate a door, the results can literally be fatal.

I'm shocked that with all the eyes on this car for approval, including the executive board that some of these cosmetic blunders made it past the drawing board.

To think Porsche spent R and D money designing the new door handle. That money could have been donated to charity and the 991.2 door handles would have been perfect for the 992.

Once the suppliers and outsourcing is committed there’s no going back until the .2

I thought that just the exterior handles themselves were electronically operated as a means of having them extend and retract. Are the door latches themselves electronic releases as well?
