links to parts 1 and 2 of the OGS Mechanics Taycan repair video. One point new to me was that the Traction Motor contains oil and can be subject to leaks. A Traction Motor can also be trashed should coolant for the Inverter leak into it. In the repairs here a used motor was used in the repair...

The brake wear measure for the version I received just said a suitably vague ‘within wear limits‘.

Compare the Porsche 111 point check report above with the more persuasive Range Rover 165 point check report attached. E.g. presentation, and detail on service history, pad and disc wear, carbon/ceramic disc wear, tread depths etc.

Unfortunately some dealers lie/are ignorant/just want your money/avoid liability. Underbody checks are included at Part F of the fabled 111 point check - see attached. When buying, insist on a video of the underside, an extended battery health check, request sight of the 111 check, and...

It’s great that a company like OGS will apply some theory knowledge and fix items rather replace whole assemblies. Their work also reveals the poor manufacturing and safety design (e.g. unlike Tesla, no monitoring of HV battery coolant temperature and pressure?) Also take a look at some of...

More leap of faith stuff promising to morph into Ferrari …. Against a background of tariffs, inflation and rising energy costs, single digit percentage profit forecasts can easily disappear - Ferrari’s last operating profit was 29.5%. Full article attached (nothing new).

Is consumer legislation rejection an option? If yours is a j1.1, would upgrading to a j1.2 give faster charging?

Not everything that glitters is gold. Always ask for a copy of the 111 point check and battery health reports as a condition of sale and then scrutinise their integrity and completeness. Walk if there are any shortfalls. When I did that recently and backed out of buying a demo the sales manager...

@prj The Oct 24 Porsche submission to NTHSA estimated that 2% of all j1.1 vehicles produced were affected. They said that was the figure extrapolated from their analysis. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2024/RCLRPT-24V732-8320.PDF Your assertions here about battery failure rate could be true...

That can happen with all cars, it’s ’normal’. Premature delamination of the disc coating isn’t normal, the noise doesn’t go away with use.

That’s the high level summary. It’s the terms and conditions that matter. The key part there is what constitutes normal wear and tear. Atypical wear and tear resulting in failure isn’t normal.

I have no way of determining the accuracy of your information. It may be just anecdotal BS. In their submission to NTHSA Porsche quoted 2% of all j1.1 vehicles were affected. I also have no way of determining the accuracy of that figure. It’s always possible that they lied. The survey I ran here...

The web site marketing info is misleading. Are you looking at the Sept 25 terms doc? https://assets-v2.porsche.com/gb/-/media/Project/PCOM/SharedSite/Porsche-Service/Vehicle-Information/Approved-Warranty/PCGB/Porsche-Approved-Warranty-Terms-and-Conditions_092025 It is the terms and conditions...

The 2% of vehicles came from the ‘latest‘ NTHSA doc, Oct 24. Eventually recalls covered the entire J1.1 production set, 2019-2024. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2024/RCLRPT-24V732-8320.PDF The EU ones I‘ve seen did not quote the estimated percentage of vehicles affected. The number of...

Change published last September, but others here received it earlier https://www.porsche.com/uk/accessoriesandservice/porscheservice/vehicleinformation/approvedwarranty/

It includes HV Battery Manufacturing Defects. it excludes normal wear and tear. Interpretation has not yet been tested!

My take. All j1.1 HV batteries carry a manufacturing defect risk, But not all HV batteries have the defect. In their submission to NTHSA Porsche estimated 2% of vehicles were affected. That doesn’t match my understanding of the word widespread. Safety authorities obligated Porsche (and others)...
