I went to connect it this evening after taking delivery today, but my battery is an AGM battery, so now I need to figure out a new charging solution. Any idea why I don’t have a lithium battery like others here?

Turbos excluded, I think most late '24 Carrera owners are reporting AGM batteries, regardless of RAS. This includes my own '24 C4S. Porsche probably faced reality vis-a-vis the issues they were having and their inability to supply the batteries in timely and cost-effective manner, and just decided to give up...

Yep. Porsche’s crappy software can’t cope with the lithium battery, causing it to fail. Porsche won’t admit to its failure, preferring instead to quietly reinstate the reliable AGM

Thanks, this is helpful. I guess i should be glad that I got an AGM then.
