Regardless of spec, they would easily sell. We are lucky Porsche decided to offer the 992.1 T, because they sure didn’t have to do so. In fact, I’m surprised they went to the trouble. They could have waited to offer the T at the end of the 992.2 run.

Earlier in this thread I posted pictures that show the buttons on the dash that are for PASM, Sport Exhaust, Front axle Lift etc... When you look at config there are TWO "custom" buttons with diamonds, and only the exhaust shows up if you select the exclusive design tailpipes in silver... THIS IS NOT A GLITCH. The T will not have the exhaust button inside unless you option the exclusive tailpipes, OR if you option front axle lift... which is why all the press cars have the exhaust button because they all had front axle lift on them.
This may not matter to most, but I really like the exhaust button easily in reach, so I will now be altering my build to have one of those two options to ensure that I get that button.

If they make a 992.2 T, it will not be a manual and/or won't follow the current T formula of using the base powertrain. To me, that fits with the current base Carrera being PDK only and why they offered the 992.1 T now. I agree they did not have to build the T at all, but am glad they did. I am assuming they had the product planning for the Carrera lineup, including the T, all done before the Covid craziness, and are just adapting to the current spot shortages of certain components and options (like Bose, etc). This is all speculation on my part but it seems to make sense.

"The North American Porsche Rep Was at my dealer in MA today and I spoke directly with him... He confirmed that the car will come with two diamond "custom Buttons" unless you select either FAL or Exclusive design tailpipes... The FAL is always going to be on the far left of the button layout, and they didnt want to leave the second button in as a Diamond custom button if the far left is designated as FAL. If you select the "Exclusive Design Tailpipes" they give you the exhaust button on the dash as a result of selecting that option.. No idea why other than its a quirky T option."

One thing to note, you chose black deviated stitching for the extended leather package, is this on purpose or did you mean for it to be GT Silver stitching like the rest of your deviated stitching?
