    Porsche Denying Warranty Coverage on High-Voltage Battery – Seeking Advice

    I believe that this should be covered by your comprehensive insurance policy. I'd make a claim through them since there's damage to the underbody from some foreign object.

    Crimminy! Just tell us. A lot of us are in the same boat.

    How about a number?

    Opinions please, Lease ending, CPO or extended warranty upon purchase from Porsche?

    Tell your dealer to CPO the car for the residual and that’s it. The last thing they want is another Taycan sitting on their lot.

    "Porsche Charges $134K For The Taycan, SAIC Charges $32K For Z7" - article

    Agreed. China is ascendant, and its automotive industry is innovating at a pace that should alarm both Europe and the United States. Labor costs are obviously far lower, allowing Chinese manufacturers to build cars for a fraction of what it costs in the West, but cheap labor alone does not...

    And that's precisely why I ordered it too. The damn thing almost never saw a deer on the country roads near where we live before I did — literally less than a handful of times. I believe it’s a complete waste of money. Once, for example, I was driving home with my wife and moved to change...

    I did find the website for Zunsport and it does indicate it’s sold out. Oddly enough though, a further Google search found the product at Walmart of all places and I ordered it there. It ships directly from Zunsport, so I'm not too confident about getting it because of the contradictory info...

    Honestly, that's what I'll probably do. The Night Vision option is a complete rip-off; it barely functions and I doubt it’s automatically turned on more than 4 or 5 times in the 4 1/2 years Ive owned the car.

    Yeah, and every gram counts. I'll bet there's an aerodynamic component to consider too — adding a lens protector might impact the drag coefficient reducing my range by a few inches.

    Thanks a million for this reply. It's super helpful!

    My service advisor suggested that too. I'm frankly reluctant to make a claim on something that one, should not cost that much to repair and two, was the result of a design flaw.

    My 2021 Taycan 4S has been at my local Porsche service center now for nearly 3 weeks. The initial issues were to address some recalls and a balky non-functional Apple CarPlay. The CarPlay diagnosis was to replace the PCM at a charge of about $6000, which was fortunately covered by my extended...

    Driving a Macan 4S EV loaner

    What a coincidence! My Taycan is also in for service (replacing the PCM) and I too have a Macan 4S EV as loaner. I've driven it now for nearly 2 weeks and I've got to say I'm impressed. I'm getting 320 miles on a full charge and the car is nicely equipped (sticker indicates $110K) with rear...

    Long time EV owner going to the darkside? Needs encouragement!

    So, which 911 variant are you going to buy?

    Air Conditioning not cooling. extended warranty failure

    Finally got approval by Fidelity for the repair to my PCM. $7700, which seems to me a tad ridiculous, especially considering the above Ebay listing, but it’s getting fixed and covered, less my $250 deductible.

    Air Conditioning not cooling. extended warranty failure

    CarPlay simply stopped working. I took the car in for the recalls and had them check the system and they told me the PCM module needed to be replaced.

    Air Conditioning not cooling. extended warranty failure

    My 2021 Taycan 4S is currently in for service for various recalls and a problem with Apple CarPlay which my service advisor told me requires a new Porsche PCM unit which costs $5500. I'm 9 months and 450 miles out of Porsche’s warranty. My original Porsche dealer sold me the Fidelity Platinum...
