Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

17 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 3Original post

Really feel for them. Imagine waiting 12+ months, and then this.

There was a similar problem with 991.2 cars I think bound for South America….think they re-built them. US has been getting a lot more cars than the UK for the last year….dealer forecourts over there seem to have a decent amount of cars as they always do. US got record number of cars last year…we got less than we did pre-Covid and Porsche made a record number of cars. The UK’s supply problems are Porsche’s decision not a lack of chips, they are prioritising other markets like the US.

POST 6Original post

Would imagine this is going to have a knock on effect to UK supply now as the rebuilds get prioritorised

POST 7Original post

Yes several GT2RS's were lost and replaced. South American market IIRC they had to reopen the production line to do it.

Curledge said: Would imagine this is going to have a knock on effect to UK supply now as the rebuilds get prioritorised It's an interesting decision they need to make. As it stands, they've got 1,100 pissed off customers, if they bounce other cars to rebuild these, I think it's reasonable to assume that they'll end up with 2,200 pissed off customers. Whatever the decision is, I wouldn't like to be the one having to make it!

POST 9Original post

Maybe a good number of these cars will be fine. It’s a bloody big vessel.

POST 10Original post

With nobody on board to control the fire, it could be a total write off. That would be £200M insurance claim.

POST 11Original post

Certainly a write off. The interesting question is whether they have to add additional fire suppression on the other ships as this appears to have some EVs on fire which require special equipment to extinguish. This would cause big delays. Dealers have been told that affected customers will get priority. There almost no inventory of 911s in North America and new customers were already being told 1-2 years.

POST 12Original post

You extinguish EV's by dropping them in a skip full of water - and I'm not kidding!

POST 13Original post

https://www.maritime-executive.com/article/photos-... The fire appears to have fully engulfed the cargo decks so yes everything on board will be a write off. There will be some marine insurers and re-insurers that are not having a good week because of this. Hopefully the salvors will be able to tow it back to port in Europe without it sinking en-route.

US Journalist Matt Farah had a car on the ship, he's been told they are building him a new car as they are for everyone else.

The ship has now sunk. It's going to be a long wait if your car was on it for a replacement. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-60579640
