Was attending Porsche’s Cayenne EV launch party when I hit a curb at the dealership, heard a weird noise. This is the damage. Thankfully I have wheel and tire extended warranty but I’m wondering how safe it is to drive.

Bro' I would not drive that car - that looks liek a nasty gash. You must have hit it really hard. New tire but i think you can save the wheel with a good refurbish job.

Definitely not worth the risk! You should replace the tire asap. Rim looks fine, just scratched

Looks superficial to me!

You have just taken off some of the rubber designed to protect the wheel which is non-structural.

ETA
The first picture even says "rim protector" :D

I have a scheduled appointment on Saturday but it is my daily driver so I’ll have to just drive carefully from now until then.
