yeah posts often veer off... I was following this line (and, am obviously enthusiastic about Porsche hybrids).

In fact the only thing that will trigger a total repacement is a completely dead and non functioning battery. That is very unlikelily.
Not true. When a battery loses 40% of its capacity within the warranty period, it's a faulty battery and will be replaced. Anywhere within 15% is normal wear and tear. As a Tesla owner, I see 20% loss after 200000 miles from multiple reports.

Agreed. I've also seen regular Turbos tested in the 3.0-3.2 range though can't recall where at the moment. Again, a few tenths quicker than advertised.
