The issue with the claim came down to cost. The damage to the vehicle was extensive and included having to replace parts of its charging mechanism.
When brought to Porsche, the owner was told if he didn’t get the repairs done through one of their approved certified facilities, the warranty on his Taycan would be voided.
That seemed fairly simple, but the insurance company took issue with how much that would cost. According to their own estimates, the total should have been closer to $6,300. The estimate from the Porsche-approved shop was over $2000 higher.
That’s because mechanics who work on luxury or “technologically advanced” cars like the Taycan require specific training and knowledge — and that labor comes at a price, which some insurance companies apparently don’t factor in.
The matter has not yet been resolved. I'm just posting it here for awareness. Your comments, suggestions, and experiences are welcome ...
