Turbo S is a lot of money, there should be no interior trim identity issues and they shouldn't just merrily throw a cosmetically blemished tire onto a new $$$$$$$ car either. Also look at the image that shows the "road" side of the engine. The electrical wire lead, its plug and receptacle are not covered by a boot. Its just left exposed to the elements. Dumb.
The tire is not really an issue, this happens pretty often and Pirelli is to blame, not Porsche. Pirelli guarantees a certain quality and Porsche just makes random quality checks on supplier parts as far as I know. This is a procedure similar to most car manufacturers worldwide.
The "open" electrical wire lead is, according to the information I got, no issue. Before something hits the wire lead, it will hit metal and/or a rubber duct before that 
, so no issue here. The part itself needs to be easily accessible.
No 911 Turbo has an engine cover, not even the very expensive 997 GT2 RS. Never has been an issue, aerodynamics are just fine and damage is unlikely, unless you lower the car (which of course isn't really recommended).
