Just wondering...

Suppose you plan to collect your car from the factory in Stuttgart and then drive it home maybe taking the scenic route and doing some extra miles.

Do Porsche do any extra checks to make sure you will have a problem free trip home?

I can imagine it wouldn't create a favourable impression for the customer (who may even be put off future purchases) if he/she has a nightmare journey home due to mechanical problems or electronic glitches etc.

If a customer collects his/her new car from their local dealer, at least he/she won't be stranded on their driving holiday back home.

Has anybody here ever had problems on their drive home when collecting from the factory? Rennteamers from the US might be collecting their car from the factory then returning it to the factory for onward shipment to the US.

Any thoughts?
