@Evolution1 wow man, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope they are willing to take the car back and give you a new allocation.
@Wilder & @Evolution1 Totally agree that's a real shame awful bad luck not something one often hears of with Porsche, and the cars only done 544 miles.
I hope very much you get a replacement car, Unusual this remanufactured deal never heard of anything like that here in the UK.. Good Luck.
Best Devon Racer.
Anyone else experiencing any issues with your T?
2024 544 miles.
Got some bad news yesterday I had taken my T for service for an engine light without a code see attached email from service manager.
Good Morning Mr. Carnevale,
We pulled the oil pan down last night into this morning and found metal in the oil.
The engine will need to be replaced, and the next step is looking at parts availability via Porsche North America.
We aren't sure yet, but we are thinking that something is wrong with the Cylinder wall surface material that's coming apart.
We will know better once the engine is out of the car during the replacement and we can tear the engine down a bit.
Your other concern is that the engine will be with a remanufactured engine rather than a new engine.
This is a requirement of Porsche North America unfortunately.
If a "remanufactured" Part is available, we are required to install that component.
If it's not, then we are allowed to put in a "new" part.
This is controlled and mandated by Porsche North America and is uniform across all vehicle manufacturers in my experience.
I'm sorry this is happening, it's a rarity for sure so we don't have a huge amount of information. Please let me know if you have additional questions and we will do our best to answer and assist of course.
Apologetically
What a surprise I never expected to hear my engine was shot , now I wait for Porsche to buy the car back with another allocation for a new T.
I am not sure how much it is worth, but I can confidently say that you have the support of all of us on here.
This is concerning for everyone and makes me think that an early oil change and inspection of the oil that comes out, should be on the agenda of all recent purchasers.

Reason: R
Devon Racer was at the OPC today and found this brightening up a dull February day.
The car is being prepped but not clean yet. We pick her up on Monday, though it will be a brief encounter as she goes straight from the OPC to my PPF guy.
Then another wait…

I’d guess they messed up at factory given minimal miles. I know one person in CA that had early major issue with his car and got them to buyback. I would push for it. He’s an auto industry engineer and even he had to press corporate a bit, however. Good luck to u!

It does cover used cars, at least in NJ. The problem with lemon law is that you first have to give manufacturer a number of opportunities to fix things within a certain time period. It’s a process. I’d be pissed if they wanted to use remanufactured parts, but heard that’s what they do these days. What the….
RE: Ambient lighting. I have it. Its truly awful. Not bright. Can barely see the colors. I have the system on Mercedes and its crazy good. I would not order ambient again. Others may have a different experience but only thing that did not meet expectation on car.
what, no Racing Yellow or Ruby Star Neo as ambient color choices??? 😉
Yeah. It’s not that gr8 and nowhere near as good as Benz does it. But I still wanted it. Only one of few options for me and still kept total build just below $120K. MY23. 😉

What about the base audio? Maybe that was ur expectation…lol. Maybe u got Bose MY24? Heard many complain about that also. Maybe Burmester? Man, i was disappointed with Burmester bass quality. But again, some subjectivity to all of this like ambient lighting quality desired….
