69Mach390 replied to the thread I cleared all my code using MapEV, went for a 1 hour ride, and these all came back. Should I be worried about any of them?.Don’t trust AI slop for technical questions like this. The more technical the question, the more wrong AI tends to be. -

Well since it’s a company car it’s now more about curiosity than sympathy for your pain lol

69Mach390 replied to the thread Had it two days and crashed it 😱.Unfortunately you can see holes in the plastic. Those parts are going to have to be replaced. Might just be an insurance claim.

69Mach390 replied to the thread Red Ring of Death out of bumper to bumper warranty.Depends on the insurance laws where you live. Some “no fault” States have your insurance always responsible for your car.

69Mach390 replied to the thread Taycan ownership trope: are Taycans really split between total lemons vs faultless vehicles?.It’s not a variance in build quality, it’s just good or bad luck. This isn’t a Taycan thing, it’s true of every car. Check out the JD...

Oh yes I did! Twice IIRC. I was pressed for time, I was arriving at a reliable charger, and knew I could count on several miles of buffer.

Yup. If you have a good relationship with your dealer there may be some goodwill but officially it's outside any warranty coverage.
