I would ask how much, just because I have trust issues.
Re: “just because I have trust issues”
That made me laugh. Sounds like something my wife might say.
Related question: If one’s car is in the garage, frunk first, and you can’t re-charge or provide power to the electronics to put the PDK transmission into neutral....how does one have the car towed? Can the car be safely lifted from the rear and pulled on to a flatbed?

Let us know how this goes. I have had a 991 4s pulled onto a flatbed, but since you have this battery problem are you going to be able to put it in neutral?? May have to set all 4 wheels on dollys. Also, the tow hook is in the frunk and there isn't a very good place to tow from without it.

Well, not my problem...just thinking about what could be? I can’t believe that this hasn’t happened to a Porsche owner, before?
My car is a manual and easy to put in neutral and roll. Disabling the electric parking brake is another issue! They are picking up later in week so I'll see what happens.
I had this happen on the wife's 2020 Macan S. Came down after two days of non use and the battery was toast. New AGM with barely 1k miles or so on the clock. The dealer is 400 miles away and electrical issues such as battery are not covered so time to think outside the box.
I checked the battery voltage it was at just under 6 volts, no point at that stage to do a load test it barely had any life. No lights, no trunk no nothing. The starter didn't turn, interior lights were inop, I tried shorting the battery across the terminals to get any reboot sign...nada. So I plugged in my CTEK.
After THREE days it managed to recharge the battery enough to get lights and manually (not via the door button) open the trunk. And finally I managed to crank it and start. This on a brand new Varta AGM battery. No idea what happened, why it discharged,
I programmed the mirrors as I told TOWMBO not to lock the car in our garage as it would drain the battery and the car was unlocked as the mirrors were not retracted. Something sucked the battery dry. To this day it hasn't happened again but anytime the car isn't driven for more than 2 days it's on the CTEK.

I installed a PowerPoint under my front bumper direct to the battery. Fused of course. Now I can leave my car on the battery tender without running the cable through the door. If the battery goes dead I can apply 12volts and open my car.
Nice! But assuming your car is in your garage why not just leave the frunk open to access the battery terminals? If it's for an extended period, I normally get a clean sheet to cover and protect everything
Where I store my car is very small. so it's not convenient to close my frunk every time I want to take my car out. Also If I'm on a trip and leave the car parked for too long it's no problem.
