I really hesitate to suggest one course of action or the other. It's just so subjective and dependent on your personal tolerance for an adverse situation and how much emotional investment you have in the new car.Thanks so much for sharing this story Mike. Sounds pretty intense... What would be your suggestion here, return it (initial conversations with my attorney say that I can get out of it easy) or keep it and wait until it is fixed asking for some compensation from PCNA and knowing this issue will be on my car history? I agree that Group Action is hard and involves a lot of effort from many owners, but seems like there's a lot of issues out there.
The experience with my GT3's engine was quite traumatic at the time and after waiting for the car for almost 2 years, having to see it carted off on a flatbed after 2 weeks of ownership and no apparent problems was pretty heartbreaking. But after 3 months it came back good as new and I got 7 long years of major pleasure out of owning it.
If I were in your shoes, I'd probably wait and see if Porsche could fix my new Taycan. I'm not saying that's the right thing for you to do, it's just probably what I would do, especially if I could get some additional compensation out of PCNA. FWIW, I don't believe it will be a blemish on your car's history. It's just a repair; not like a collision or something that will show up on a CarFax report. Anyway, I wish you the best with your decision.
