Default Concerned about Quality Issues in Ordered 992

Hello,

Seeing many people report issues of build quality issues on the 992s. I have an order in coming in later this year and I am having serious concerns about this and losing sleep. After paying close to $200K for a car, I don't expect any kind of issues. Creaking, batteries dying, glass getting cloudy, random error messages on dash, etc. - these are just some of the reported issues. Are these widespread issues? Do I need to be worried? Should I cancel my order???

Thanks

I think ALL car forums have a negative bias. People that have issues post looking for help, etc.

People without issues do not post regularly about how everything is issue free.

Just my 2 cents.

Curious what options you ordered-what is your Porsche code? Seeing the options would give us a better picture of what might break or give you problems.

You can afford to spend 200k on a car but are losing sleep about perceived build quality issues?

I would definitely cancel your order and pass it to someone more capable of enjoying it. From all your previous posts please don't take this the wrong way I am not sure your forum name is truly appropriate? In all honesty I worry about you being a Porsche owner with all of your posts, maybe you should have a rethink ???
All said in the best light and meaning.

Are you in Canada, or did you go through and check every single box?
