I accepted that and only hope I have a strong battery at the end of the warranty.

In June of 2019 the HV battery died and after 30 days of negotiating with the Porsche dealership they replaced the battery under warranty. At the time they said a new battery would cost $40,000. This month, January of 2023, the battery would not start so Porsche towed it to the dealership and told us we need a new battery at a cost of $40,000 because the battery is not covered under our extended warranty plan we purchased from the Porsche dealership. We have 19,600 miles on the car since the last, new battery was installed. I called Porsche America and they told us there wasn't anything they could do to help us offset the cost of the battery. Does anyone have a recommendation on what options we might have? The value of the car is equal to or less than the cost of a new HV battery so it doesn't make sense to replace the battery, especially given the history of the problems we've had. Is this a common occurrence with Porsche HV batteries? Thank you for any help provided.

If there is an opposite to fan boy, you seem to be it. As someone who had a magnetic oil plug to catch signs of an IMS on my 911, I am certainly not a problem denier. So shut up.

Oh and my two dealers say “huh?”
