Charging port impaired

[Adilsec]

Quick background
Bought the car a month back from a private seller
Porsche taycan turbo
Still under a warranty with porsche till 13th july so bought it thinking its fine
So the car developed a problem with both charging ports not opening (both Charging ports impared)
So i booked it into porsche
They said a few recalls were outstanding so they would do them first.
Now this is where the problems started.
They gave me a call saying sorry to say they couldnt proceed with the repairs because they couldnt do the recall as the underside has a dent larger than 3mm (around 5mm to be precise)
Said it would be a hefty bill
I just asked for the car back and now im asking here if anyone has a solution on how to fix this issue?

currently i can charge the car via manually opening the charing port. But cant fast charge using this method.

That is the one I was thinking about too. Can be a big problem.

Can’t you return the car? Sounds like a hidden defect ? Difficult to prove probably after driving it for a couple of weeks.

If this is similar to the tread mentioned by @Fish Fingers this may be very exepensive.

Did your warranty end July 13th 2024? Or next year.

good luck in sorting things out.

I think the silence on the forum is the reluctance of everyone to bring that thread to the attention of the OP, due to the potential implications of central battery cover damage >3mm.

Apologies to the OP from me, for being the one to bring it to his attention.

No apology needed
Im more currently worried about the ports not opening
