I hope the aftermarket comes out with a solution. The button design is atrocious and even more so as it's on the driver's side when you first open the door. Makes you wonder what else did Porsche cheap out on especially on the bits you can't see.
I'm also worried that the front and rear bumpers will be more black abs plastic than paint 🤦♂️
From our understanding the new base will receive the 992.1 S/GTS powerplant detuned. So it will have the current S/GTS turbos. My assumption is they'll give the 992.2 S similar power to the 992.1 GTS. There should be a good amount of potential with the hybrid platform as well but the base model with a tune might add 160-170WHP, which will be an awesome value.
Looking forward to see what your stock dyno results will be for the 992.2 base with the upgraded turbos/ intercooler. Especially in the upper RPM range
do California regulations apply in Texas or New York ? No. No they do not. California regulations are not USA regulations . . . .
Well . . . . actually . . . . . New York state does use the California emissions regulations, as quite a number states and Washington DC do.
States that have adopted the California standards are: Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Nevada, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia, Vermont, and Washington, as well as the District of Columbia.

In the video that plastic start button looks particularly cheap. A real shame on a six figure car.

I mentioned this before. I believe you could DIY retrofit the 992.1 starter assembly into the 992.2. The cutout in the dash is the same.

CA is such a large market, if CARB promulgates a certain set of regulations then basically all the other states either follow in toto, or adopt in one form or another, because every single major automaker (incl. Porsche and VW) will comply with CARB standards as it would be business suicide to produce a car that it could not sell in CA.
So essentially a CARB regulation -- even though promulagated at the state level (CA) -- becomes ostensibly a federal one.

I don't think so. Here's my 992.1 versus the best picture I could find of the 992.2. It looks like two of the light control switches disappear on the 992.2 (maybe moved to the center LCD Display), but the real issue is the, lower half, what I'll call the "Tongue." This "Tongue" contains the Start Switch on the 992.1 and is simply an extension cover on the 992.2. If these "Tongue's were the same shape and size that'd be a good sign, but it sure looks like they're not. These "Tongue's are different shapes (Photoshop Overlay Tested) and the dash panel is shaped differently for each. The bottom of the 992.1 is round and the 992.2 is squared off. So if an interchange were possible electrically, one would also need to purchase that section of the dash (or whatever assembly it's a part of) to make the swap.
