I am surprised by this update. I like what I read here. I like the paddles, the better sound and the cellphone tray.
I hope these improvements land in the e Boxster.
I don’t blame you. I feel like many shops are genuinely not good at diagnosing and repairing HV faults. “Clear codes and hope” is the frequent first step.
100% with you. Sky-high price + massive depreciation is a bad combo.
I would have ordered a new Targa last year (instead of the current 2025 Taycan GTS CPO) if they hadn't gone nuts with the pricing.
WIth a 2025 CPO, coupled with your use, you're probably going to hit 100K limit before you hit 6 inuse years.
I don't know your current mileage, but I wouldn't worry too much; you have the latest generation with the best battery and fixes. You'll be fine for 4-5 years depending on current mileage.
Now this I can understand. Porsche is very bad at servicing EVs in a timely fashion.
After two months of that crap I sold my way out of it; I genuinely understand the feeling of frustration and loss of confidence in the car.
Me either. Makes me think there was something else the OP didn't like about it.
The difference between 11kW and 9.6kW is low, especially when considering overnight charging.
I damaged some of those "paperboard" coverings on my Targa. They were easily replaced ($2-300 IIRC). They checked for other damage while replacing and in my case found none.
Be glad you hit these paperboard things and not the battery.
The only thing to be aware of - if you have the thermal/noise glass, it blocks radar except in the dotted area at the top.
I confirmed by going to a grocery store and comparing signal.
