Green was 100% the right choice

This guy opted to add the back seats back in his build, but my front seats and stitching will look identical.

That woven seat fabric will be a dust and dirt collector. Should have gone with smooth leather. SMH.

Pedaling that final mile back to the lot, saw something bright white and unusual pass on the adjacent road. Found this bright white Ariel Nomad in the lot shortly after.

Is that an abandoned warehouse?

So they send you the parts and have to assemble? Porsche - the Ikea of auto companies.

No. Dave is having each part shipped to him to clean, shrink wrap and send back for assembly. The car will actually cost him $632k when shipping costs are factored in.

No. Dave is having each part shipped to him to inspect and either accept or reject. You are correct about how the car will actually cost him $632k when shipping costs are factored in.

BTW, is the 2nd picture with the front fenders off, that were on in the 1st picture? Or they are just sending random green 911 pictures?? 😛

They get removed after painting so they don't get damaged while other components get installed and meet up with the rest of the chassis later down the line. Saw it on How it's Made LOL

Looks like a protective pad on the fenders. To keep any UAW employee who happens to be visiting from fucking up my car.

Eh with those gaps Dave will never accept it.

These pics are clearly not real time. It's all married up with the drivetrain and suspension now and headed down the elevator for QC testing. Imagine that....QC. So far the delivery date is holding at 5/10.

oh ya, they dont have unions in Stuttgart 😄

 

[Santapez]

It blows my mind that they don't build those cars in the Transparent Factory in Dresden vs what looks like a semi-clean warehouse.

Meanwhile someone is getting an eGolf built and getting pictures like this:

Are they sending you build pictures as part of some special package you ordered with the car? Or does Porsche do this with everyone that special-orders cars? Pretty awesome to see documentation of your car being built.

G87’s in Zandvoort Blue. Shame they are following the ugly trend at BMW. The F87 that @Carson once had was far prettier.

911 and 718 production lines only, last I heard. Maybe the Taycan? But you get a link to the "Track Your Dream" website after your order is accepted and in que for production. TYD gives you access to the pictures, status of the build, shipping estimates, etc.

One more (out of order) pic showed up today.

Is that the picture of them getting ready to put the engine in? Asking for a friend....
