The embarrassing part here was the fact that a manufacturer of any hi-end product can deliver a $200K machinery that needs this kind of fixing within very few months of exiting the plant.
Ferrari, Porsche, Skoda or a coffeemaker...that's simply not ok.
(Ok, the fact that Nick ultimately got trapped in an embarrassing situation almost makes up for the lack of build quality )
Nick, have they fixed it?...or merely given u free vouchers to the nearest Starbucks?
Don't know of any high-end product/svc on planet....whether $200K+ cars, $100K+ watches, $10K+ suits, $1K+ bottles of wine, $50MM+ private planes, etc etc that don't occasionally have disappointing copies, except in fantasy land of those who haven't sampled enough copies to know otherwise....
Know guys who freq buy new cars who've occasionally gotten copies of new F/P/MB w/numerous glitches...but most jaded car guys would prob agree that any new 430/599 is likely to be roughly as reliable as any new 997TT/65/63 will prove to be: quite reliable in context of increasingly complex, continually updated/debugged, networked tech of any latest-tech performance/GT car....
Always will be a trade-off btwn enjoying/early-adopting latest tech innovations vs inevitable bugs in early copies.....and Luddites who favor old tech can hope for perhaps greater reliability (though not necessarily
), but face likely net losses in performance/safety/comfort/convenience/low-mtce of latest tech....
