Default Someone is getting fired

I took deliver of my car back in May.

Today I receive the "Porsche Production Specifications" sheet in the mail along with a nice letter. Something nice to have for sure.

Then I took a closer look at it....what is a light strip with Porsche logo in glacier blue??

It’s a Taycan option.

I don’t think I’ve seen it offered on the 911.
Not sure about other models.

The comical mistakes:

- Two different exterior colours
- Standard interior in black (clearly not)
- An option from a Taycan

Porsche quality control at its finest.

Are these sheets automatically generated? How would this even happen.

Some ones getting fired? Get over yourself and call the dealer.

I presume you got the correct equipment. Better the letter be wrong than the car.

Relax, it is a joke. And the dealer has nothing to do with this.

Yes, the options are 100% correct. Have had the car for a while now. Just found it funny that they would send out this official letter with such mistakes.

I received my spec sheet last week also with some comical errors. Two tone Gentian/Chalk with the "Carrera T Package in Leather with Stitching in Lizard Green" lol. Actual interior was leather interior in slate grey with chalk stitching

People complain about the dumbest things ( in a dumb manner) instead of appreciating the wonderful car that they have just bought and have in person to drive and enjoy.

How would you feel if you had a two tone car?

Does your car have two different exterior colors? Or was it deliver with one color when you receive ti? Mistake happens.
