So finally have the results back - after 3 different collision centers and a barrel of fun with the insurance company, the total in damage came to $48k, and the insurance company will NOT be totaling the car. No major structural damage - the piece rubbing against the tire is a separate mounting...
Still waiting for the adjuster to look at the car, so no real answers yet.
In terms of what insurance pays out, I assume that it's more complex than just the cost of the repair (and residual reliability) because they get back salvage cost of the vehicle, correct? So the real measurement of...
The car did not 'blank' prior to or after impact, so it either didn't meet the threshold or missed the sensors (since it was an off-center impact).
I will say that even if the frame wasn't rubbing into the tire, the car would be extremely annoying to drive due to the multiple sensor errors...
Good news (I suppose...) is that after calling around, I could only find 2 certified Porsche shops that will even look at the car - all other collision centers flat out turned me down for even touching it based on the damage.
Thanks everyone - hard to confirm there is frame damage, but looking at the bumper bracket to frame, you can see the mount is bent, and I think that is a portion of the frame (bluish color) that is rubbing against the tire. Guess we'll see the insurance adjuster says next week.
Got rear-ended by a teenager not paying attention. :crying: Unfortunately, the car isn't drivable because a portion of the frame/structure is pushed into the back wheel and into the tire. The question for the group is will this be repairable, or are they going to total the car? With damage...
I was about to suggest the same thing - I had a small drop of sealant land on my rear trim in almost that exact same spot- it's amazing how well something like wax or sealant can stick to those black areas!.
For sale are my 20" Taycan Turbo Aero wheels off my 2020 Taycan - I was originally going to use these as a winter set, but have since changed plans. Wheels were on the car for ~15,000 miles. Front wheels are in great shape, and rear wheels just have some minor rubbing along the lip from a...
Haven't tried the sticker plates, but then again, I haven't had any issues with the lack of a front license plate to even bother looking for a solution. ;-)
I drove through the winter last year here in Colorado with no issues with the all seasons. My last couple cars I usually did the summer/winter double-pair, but the Taycan seems to do just fine on the all-seasons - the extra car weight gets you some good grip. As you know, this winter has been...
Excellent point on the 240V versus 800V - you are correct - I was crossing the input versus output sides! I think all your math adds up - thanks for the correction!
I work on satellites that use Li-Ion batteries and agree with Smohr33. In orbit, we can see tens of cycles a day going in-and-out of eclipse, so maintaining battery health is a critical function since we want these to last for many years in-orbit. While there is numerous different cell...
Anyone found a solution to the missing song titles under SiriusXM? Finally got the SW update and am completely baffled why that was one of the things that got removed?!?
Thanks everyone! That was my assumption, but didn't know in-practice how Porsche set the system up.
In terms of regen, I usually try to use the auto-regen when possible - while I think they are equally efficient, the "slower" regen will be easier on the battery and create less heating in the...
