Quote: The cars are getting software updates an quality control updates after arriving at the port. Porsche wants the vehicle to launch without the problems like we had with the 750 and A8.
But let's clarify; the Panamera is NOT using the same electronics as either the 750 nor the A8.

I can't speak for BMW but the Audi's issues primarily lie with using Bosch Electronics.

But yes, Porsche doesn't want to launch a 100k Premium Sedan with issues like both BMW and Audi have dealt with. (And Mercedes with the old S Class body style)

There is a Campaign WA13 to replace the engine oil pan. With higher miles the oil pan can crack from vibrations and leak a slight amount of oil. Could have something to do with yours? waiting for parts?....whats your VIN?

Panamera still stuck
Heard today that my preordered Panamera, which shipped into Baltimore on Oct 21, is still stuck in port undergoing "quality control checks".

Patiently waiting...... getting harder and harder..............
