992.1C2ER
I realized that I have been referring to my new order wrong. To be more precise, I, like almost everyone else, omitted the ER (extended range), an extremely important performance variant notation out. From now on, I must remember to correct myself and refer to my car as the ER model. After all, while the lowest and highest end of vehicle spectrum (Honda fit vs Airbus) make no pricing distinction with regards to color, operational range is extremely important for differentiating airbus models. In fact I argue in places like Cambodia or Ukraine today, or situations such as zombie apocalypse or meteor impact evacuations, range is the single most important performance metrics setting 992s apart from each other. I encourage all of you to from now on not forget to mention whether your car is the 4SER (extended range) or GTSLR (long range aka regular range)

I dont get it. Many people identify their cars as S with a MT vs my S is a PDK but not range
why? I think extended range is a far more important performance characteristic and presented a strong case for it. If you dont agree, you can join a civil discourse instead of dismissing my premise silly. I must question whether you regret for not opting for the extended range 911 yourself

thats a good point thanks for correcting me. It reminds me of the trade off planes make between carrying more passengers (longer body) vs flying farther (shorter body to save weight). Its a performance trade off anyone buying this car needs to consciously make. Do I want to drive farther, or do I want to drive well in snow? After all, most electric cars charge more for longer range even if it doesnt cost them anything (eg tesla ships their cars with same battery but simply software locks a portion of it).
