I've had my Wiessach 918 for 5yrs. I drive about 1500 miles/yr which is not much, but I enjoy every mile. I have tracked the car at COTA and then driven home after the track day on some nice hill country roads. Contrary to what had been stated, I have not seen any issue with the charger not providing enough power and never heard it being deficient. Inadvertently, I had the car off charger for a period (approx 4 wks), and had no issues. I usually have the charger plugged into the car. I've been informed that the hybrid battery replacement is about 70K, with 7 yr warranty. I don't have first hand knowledge of the LaFerrari battery replacement, but I heard it was significantly more(? 3 X). Enjoy the 918, its hybrid drivetrain is incredibly well integrated in its power delivery. I have a CGT and enjoy its different characteristic, however I actually prefer the 918. I appreciate the engineering and high level of performance without the twitchy nervous response of the CGT. Just my opinion. The 918 is now a 5+ yr old design, but still appealing with classic form and shape.
If you actually read my post, you will see that I offered you to message me privately so I will tell you the dealer, broker, car, spec, etc. Clearly, you don't read very well.
For the record, Porsche recommends engine out service every 4 years. You see, 15 years old divided by 4 is....uh....math too hard for you?
Sorry for the late reply, but I was at Laguna Seca (Hypercar Invitational) the past two days tracking my car hard. There was a Senna there and it was very impressive on the track.
Where is your fancy paint Senna? Too precious to be tracked because it would lose more value?
There are guys who buys cars and store them in their nice garages and then there guys like me who drive their cars the way manufacturers intended.

Maybe you didn't have them do everything maybe you have a bad mechanic or maybe you are a bad driver ... it's not something anyone would brag about but you. Start a go fund me page!
You don't post real world - you said Senna was 350k behind offered to you - I asked spec and broker ... crickets
Now you go to lemon cash settlements / do you think I care it's not my style to seek legal in a hobby. Anyone that claims lemon is their business not mine you literally seek misery.
Lamborghini - you took another cheap shot with my Sian order. I let it go when you posted how do I feel about the Roadster announcement like that was news I saw it a year ago with the V12 track car that I also had on order. My dealer / friend died last year suddenly while working out - his partner decided to sell the dealership now called Hollman Motors. The relationship changed and I was out of Lamborghini when the car did not have enough head room that was the last straw.
You then posted as "Unotaz the Great" turned down the XP Senna I bought which is funny but whatever.
These are just cars - since you had THREE engine outs you may see guys like him wearing a mechanic outfit. Somehow these guys can fix any mechanical issue with these things called parts using tools. so you are at a crossroad and can burn bridges or in your case continue to blow them up or reset and build them - your call.

Thanks - 70k replacement any improvements or same battery?
Went to UT - when the roads to the lake had nothing but one bbq place.

I had gmg on my cgt for a while. It does sound amazing imo and only after-mkt exhaust mod that doesn’t ruin the oem tone that I’ve heard to-date. The oem tone may be a HAIR better, but the gmg is super close to retaining it. And, man, does it wake up the car inside the cabin (I assume out too, but I don’t hear that!). I took my cars back to stock exhaust in an overall effort to get quieter and draw less attention (esp from the guys with blue lights) but I held onto the cgt gmg bypass because I imagine I’ll put it back on at some point. It is a riot on that car; it makes you laugh when you hear that shriek, that magnified!
I was supposed to be there at LS, completely bummed it was all in the middle of the Covid mess, would have been epic to be at. Jon said it was a mega time as per usual!

I had a great time at this event! The guys at Hypercar Invitational did a fantastic organizing the event. Not a single incident during the track day and everyone had fun. Dinner was great at Pasadera Golf Club. Hope to meet you in person next time!

FWIW I think you guys both are great contributors to this site, and have enviable collections and thus great insights to share.
FWIW - I hope for a truce!

Apologies.100+ degrees all weekend trying to figure out how to gain one more space. Good news didn't hit anything.
So Unotaz - were you at Laguna this weekend in the 918 any track video times shots to share -

Great collection!
Is that a 911R? How do you like it?
