This is the fourth car I’ve ordered from the factory - never had one delivered with less than 8 miles

interesting to see what others respond, but likely more than that for most. Well, I was my dealership’s first T and my SA was #2 awaiting his T. Ha, I wonder if my SA took my T for a drive?!

Vernin

Unfortunately, I do think it was possible, I just hope they were carful and went through the proper procedures if they took it for a test drive

Vernin

I see, that is good to know, then maybe it is all in the travel to and from, and driving off the transport truck and maybe testing on the dyno/sound acoustics both in Germany and other things

ECNJ

Ha, my point was that I can Guarantee my SA took it for a drive!

I got it with 23mi… no point arguing, just a little suspicious… WHY so many miles?

Radiationman

I think a lot depends on the manufacturer and the ports as well as some other logistics issues. My other ordered cars were MINIs - two went from Oxford to Southampton. Plant Oxford is fairly compact, and neither car sat long at the port to get shuffled around much.

Given the large delays we’re seeing for cars departing Emden and arriving in the US, the higher mileage doesn’t surprise me because it’s likely cars are getting shuffled around holding lots before the next shipment stage.

But I wouldn’t be concerned about a loader going joyriding in and expensive car - until departing the arrival port most manufacturers have the car locked in a speed and rev limited “transport mode” that isn’t unlocked until final inspection at the arrival port when the PCM or equivalent software is actually loaded in the car.

Vernin

yeah that I unfortunately gathered from what you were saying, I just really hope he didn't redline it cold, and not broken in

Radiationman

My SA said he had a customer take delivery of a GT3 at PEC ATL and the car had 100 miles on the odometer at delivery. The customer was pissed, and I’m not sure they got an explanation as to why - if they did, my SA wouldn’t share it.

Vernin

That is really good to know, now that I think about it I never even thought of people at the port, or transporting the car going for a joy ride, I guess I have only ever been concerned with people at the dealership, thank you for the info about that that does give me some peace of mind though

YAWN!!
YET ANOTHER REVIEW THAT RATES THE T AS THE BEST THING SINCE SLICED 911'S

​​​​​​https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/porsche/911/359248/new-porsche-911-carrera-t-2023-review
​​​​​​
Verdict
The T is a simple idea, executed brilliantly.
It takes the formula of the standard car, sprinkles on some choice upgrades but maintains the 911’s accessible performance.
Compared to its 911 siblings, the T even looks relatively good value.
Aside from the slightly lumbering gear ratios the T stands out in the 911 range as a real driver’s choice.

Vernin

Wow are you freaking kidding? 100 miles? that is insane and Its stupid nothing can be done when that happens

Pivot

Yea, highly annoying, but not worth a fight. The distribution channel is so long, they can make-up 10 excuses, and we will never get to the bottom of it.

Vernin

Lets gooo, Thank you for posting this, After work today I am going to relax as its my birthday and have a glass of scarecrow wine and I have added this to my watch list to watch tonight (any more things to watch is welcomed)

Vernin

@Pivot Is there a valet mode like in Corvetts that you can turn on in the 911? Or an equivalent?
