    tire life, battery life, depreciation, and the small things

    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.

    Porsche Ordered to Buy Back Taycan That Charged at 9.6 kW, Not 11 kW

    Except half the time if you bring it in when you're notified, they will tell you they can't service it yet.

    Porsche Ordered to Buy Back Taycan That Charged at 9.6 kW, Not 11 kW

    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.

    Porsche Ordered to Buy Back Taycan That Charged at 9.6 kW, Not 11 kW

    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.

    are NF tyres really required to protect warranty?

    No. Never once had a warranty claim challenged for using non-N-rated tires.

    Radar Detector Recommendations

    Yes, it only works in the dotted area (and honestly, slightly less well than it does on non-thermal glass.)

    Underframe Damage

    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.

    Radar Detector Recommendations

    It absolutely won't unless moving to one with embedded bumper sensors.

    Radar Detector Recommendations

    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.

    Taycan Drifting!

    My first thought was “ah, so that’s how they cooked my brakes in 100 miles” :)

    Possible total loss?

    This is good advice. I bet what ends up happening, once you have counsel, is a settlement offer. Litigation costs money. It costs them nothing to offer a lowball and see if you roll over.

    Possible total loss?

    All insurance companies will try to pay out as little as they can. Sounds like you’re doing the right thing, best wishes and keep us posted!

    Do NOT crack your panoramic glass!

    I had it done at my Porsche service center so it just showed up as a service visit.

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

    Sometimes I wish I’d stuck it out with my 23! I don’t think you’ll regret your plan.
