I strongly advise against watching any of Out of Specs inspection videos, it's just going to make you nervous about non-issues.

Ice Grey looks completely different under various indoor lighting. Go to a dealership and look at an Ice Grey car outside, then ask to see a sample inside. It'll blow your mind.

The car just needs to be detailed and moved out of that intense indoor lighting.

i'm sorry, yes that was the video that bothered me! they find all these "issues" with the car throughout the video and then at the end say how impressed they are with it... while also saying the value of the car is gonna tank....
smh...Frank is right

Let’s be real, a good chunk of people on forums are already driving themselves (and others?) crazy by obsessing over non issues. It’s the nature of these forums. 🥲

To your point, videos (made to generate views!) are calling out and over inflating very normal/ok/expected things…

OOS is not worse than other channels - but definitely not going to help hypochondriacs. 😝

For sure! And I think OoS does some good videos. His range tests have really good info.

I do think these inspection videos are a weak point of their channel and just want people to know there's no problem here. Cars have to be detailed upon arrival, factory finished cars are not actually ready for delivery.

Many car manufacturers have actual detailing/repair facilities at the port for this reason! Porsche generally lets dealerships handle pre delivery, although there are some issues they will fix at port.

You should definitely get the car ceramic or PPF coated and they will further enhance/correct the paint.

Agreed. His range test videos are good information. Eagerly awaiting range test on this new car now vs Turbo test that he has already done.

My 4S in Slate Neo Grey was delivered with a very average paint job....I had it corrected and ceramic coated and now it shines :)
