I just drove my new Taycan from the dealer to home, which was about 500 miles because that's the closest I could find the model I wanted.
I heard about 3 distinct but intermittent rattles on the way home, which is disappointing since I have a Tesla Model 3 that rattles like a tin-can, and I thought I'd buy something with a better "build quality," but I digress.

How good is Porsche about diagnosing and fixing rattles under warranty? Should I try to do some investigation and remediation myself before hand, or can I just pull-up and tell them the general direction the rattles are coming from and expect them to handle it?

Probably variation from dealer to dealer. I have avoided rattles (11k km now), except a «click» sound when releasing the brake pedal. It went away by itself, mostly, when regenerative braking kicked in after some 500 km. Is such a sound among your rattles?

I have only 250miles and can hear howling and rattling when 50m+ speed. Plus occasional clicks when braking and parking haha going to dealership for PCM masterclass and also for a technician to have a look in a few weeks. As long as it’s normal, I’m ok with occasional noises and rattles. So far I think it’s normal for electric sport car but we shall see.

I bought a 2020 TTS from a Porsche dealer. I test drove the shit out of it m, put about 90 km with multiple visits. The only rattle I could hear is from the seats.

No complaints of any other rattle and I drove silently with no music.

My rattles aren't so bad. I just have PTSD from my Model 3. :D
They are all intermittent, and only occur on bumpy roads both at low and high speeds. I bet they are all easily fixable, but not easily reproducible which was why i asked the question: are they good about reproducing them? If not, I'll have someone drive around while I stick my head in various corners to isolate the issue, unless someone has a better idea.
