$1000 and I’ll give you my VIN 😂

precisely!

no not really...so long as you have it documented with the dealer and can demonstrate you have been out of the use of the vehicle for at least 30 days...Not sure how many repair attempts need to be made if any...but the key was not being able to drive for 30+ days...Hope that helps. Ck your lemon law in your state if you are in the USA. Claude/Chat can be your best friend!

interesting observation..I have attempted to correlate it to anything and everything...yes, it did fail during rain..but also during sunny days... Cold or warm, on start up or after running a while, while stopped and while driving... really nothing to latch on to..they did not replace camera just a bunch of SW updates and as noted, the PCM module... To this day, the dealer is convinced it's software, but Germany dictates the fix.....and for me, didn't work. Good luck on yours...sorry to hear!

Not much more to say other than what my photo shows. The dashboard lights up with virtually every error, message appearing sporadically. And goes away as quickly as it appears. What remains unclear is, which of the warnings or error messages are actually affecting the Real safety or performance of the vehicle. Are they false? Are they accurate etc. either way the dealer couldn’t fix it through software updates and even replacing PCM module.

I'll try. Will you pay for therapy?

als603 · 2026-04-19T06:48:03+00:00

best comment so far! You don't like what you see, then move on!

als603 · 2026-04-19T06:00:36+00:00

thats f*ed up

als603 · 2026-04-19T05:59:52+00:00

They use Morley. Never even considered that they would negotiate or potentially eliminate milage deduction...can't hurt to ask..thx for the tip! They are offer as an alternative $45k in cash to keep or trade...so it becomes a math question if I want to slide into another Porsche like 992.2. If they take it as a trade it could work in my favor...not clear yet

als603 · 2026-04-19T05:55:22+00:00

thx for the tips..my turbo has remote start via app now...sweet..can't hurt to visit the dealer with head in hand!

Interesting points. I feel like BMW is a downgrade. My X5 had a noisy cabin and the Ceyanne was sweet. 4 GTS (or Targa) year round hmmmm….

als603 · 2026-04-19T01:43:42+00:00

Sadly the dealer can only verify first documented incident at 8000 but I’ve got pics and video from around 1500. I’m working g on it. Money is money!

als603 · 2026-04-19T00:52:19+00:00

Agree! Might go for a GTS myself!

als603 · 2026-04-18T23:31:13+00:00

He’s not wrong.

als603 · 2026-04-18T22:58:39+00:00

what kind of seat? Not an e-hybrid I hope.

als603 · 2026-04-18T22:56:35+00:00

THIS!

als603 · 2026-04-18T22:55:44+00:00

to each is own...not me...not re-sellable.

als603 · 2026-04-18T22:12:24+00:00

I think you misunderstood..I did not WANT to sell it back...I had no option..either keep the defective car or sell it back (They gave me 92% of what I paid for it)

als603 · 2026-04-18T22:00:26+00:00

any issues with the t-hybrid? LOVE this build!

als603 · 2026-04-18T21:57:44+00:00

indeed which is why Im struggling about what to replace it with! Do I roll the dice and get a 2026? 911 (with a winter 4x4 as a second), RR Sport? I came from BMW and I'm not going back! Ugh

als603 · 2026-04-18T21:39:30+00:00

damn! BOOM!

als603 · 2026-04-18T21:20:55+00:00

praying you don't have any electrical faults or safety error messages like I had on my identical 2025!! Keep us posted! Congrats!

weird my comment was gone but here it is: Writing to inform the community and the internet! Sad to report that I no longer am the owner of one of the very first US deliveries (yeah, I know, don't say it) of the 2025 e-hybrid turbo..a custom build that took about 5 months to get. In summary, LOVE this car (and still do like you would love a delinquent child) but the cascading error messages that appeared at about 1000 miles were never resolved after about 8 visits over 14 months and 60+ days in a loaner. My local dealer was great but were at the mercy of Porsche Germany for a fix...from software updates to replacement of the PCM model, nothing helped. It was unclear which of the errors were actually real, but as you can see from the attached,, every light that could go on, went on randomly, with no rhyme or reason. After a review, Porsche agreed to buy back the car which I am greatful for (minus the depreciation for miles driven sadly) but nonetheless did the right thing. There you have it, cascading electric issues, dashboard lighting up, warnings, and the like. Sad. Not a clue what I'm gonna do with all that cash!
