I leased an i7. Compared to the Taycan this thing is built like a tank and has no rattles or creeks. Got a killer deal on it also. However, I’ll greatly miss the looks and driving dynamics of the Taycan.
I did a one pay lease about a year ago. Was rear ended in October and long story short car was finally deemed a total loss recently. For anyone wondering, insurance company paid off Porsche and then sent me a check for the overages. So there is no risk with a one pay.
Vehicle is now at the dealer for HV reactivation and I’m being told the pyro fuse has deployed and that it is not available separately from the HV battery.
For anyone who has been through this:
Was the entire battery actually replaced, or is there a Porsche repair procedure for the pyro...
My car is still in the shop awaiting parts. 1 of four structural parts have arrived. The other three still have no ETA. Per body shop, the battery tray, coolant lines, and mounting points for the battery tray are intact so they won’t be removing the tray. I convinced them to run PIWIS at the...
I’m in almost the identical situation as you. Five weeks ago I got rear ended in my 2025 Taycan 4CT that I leased in June. It’s a 52k repair(so far) that my insurance has authorized. As of today, the major panels have yet to arrive and there is currently no ETA. Insane. I was wondering how your...
Update: so total repairs are about 50k and my insurance company approved repairs. However, they did no diagnostics on the HV battery and Mercury so far refuses to pay the 350 for the diagnostics. Should I just pay the 350? The car did show electrical system error and has no power, though from...
Thanks. I appreciate it.
The bill so far is more than double that and growing. They also still need to tow it to a Porsche dealer to deactivate the battery and run diagnostics there. Car showed electrical system right after being hit. Maybe it was just a protective mechanism though. I’m...
10 days ago I was rear ended by a 17 year old kid. . He said he was going 55-60. Most recent update from Porsche approved body shop. They are waiting for inspector from my insurance company come to review the revised estimate. :
There is currently no physical or code-related damage to the...
Man. This is crazy. I dont know if I would’ve messed it of if I knew these risks. Luckily mine is a CT so clearance is a bit higher. God forbid you go into gravel more tho
Finally finished the post. Insane. Makes me not want to take my car into service for any reason until I drop it off in two years when my lease is up. “You need a new Johnson Rod” come to life.
