While hard for those expecting orders, I think not getting a new Porsche is insignificant compared to what the Ukranians are going through right now. My heart goes out to them all.
Completely agree. While mine is currently stuck in production, it’s an insignificant problem compared to what folks in the Ukraine are experiencing.Twinfan said:Blimey - some critical parts must be produced over in Ukraine for them to stop all model variants.

Ukraine has built up a competence in wiring harnesses in recent years, with suppliers such as Leoni and Yazaki setting up plants there.
Other key supplies for car makers coming from Ukraine include neon gas, needed to make chips, as well as the precious metal palladium, used in catalytic convertors.
The country is also a key source of nickel ore, which is refined into cathode materials to make batteries for electric vehicles.
I’m sure that all manufacturers - and not just Porsche - are scrabbling to find alternative sources of production and materials right now. Car manufacture is also a very energy-intensive process, so we can expect a round of price rises in the not too distant future as gas and oil prices go through the roof.
