... That's why a full insurance cover by a well known insurance company for the actual entire car cost is essential!And also that's why such an insurance policy cost that much!!

Honestly I don't get these videos.

One - if you buy an expensive car and EV at that, repairs are going to be expensive and anything related to the battery will be expensive.

Two - I don't think people buying Porsche vehicles drive it without an insurance, many buy extended warranty so you really don't care how much the repair would be, especially in case of damage covered by insurance

Three - if anything happens to the battery to the extend it triggers an internal safety sensor to go off, I don't know why would you try and replace damaged cells if the manufacturer states in such case the whole battery is to be replaced - it's a safety hazard

Four - this is a going to be interesting years ahead (like 10+) when many EV vehicles will be out of warranty and some without proper insurance and people will start doing weird s*** to them in sketchy repair shops - I think we are going to see down the line EVs are not that environmentally friendly after all, they will be difficult to work with and in many cases they will end up being simply dumped

Believe me Tomek,actually there are!!!Not only Porsche cars but also other expensive brands.I was in the Insurance business until I retire a year ago (I was running my own office) and I know first hand!You'll be amased by what some of them was asking in order to be able to achieve the lowest premium possible!!

I agree, I would not mess around with the HV battery, if replacement is recommended by the manufacturer. Fortunately, covered by warranty and insurance.
However, I did find the video interesting. The car is definitely related to its VW and Audi cousins, the “genes” were there to prove it. And, nothing gives more satisfaction than disassembling and reassembling a “toy” to see how it works! Most of us have been there! Lol

Hum.. they don’t know the history and no evidence of an accident yet they’re not giving it to Porsche to fix under warranty but instead doing it themselves and thereby voiding any warranty? Ok then ‍. I suppose it’s entertainment and revealing nonetheless… kind of like bungee jumping off a cliff to see what happens . They should have a disclaimer that says “not recommended for you to do this at home”..,lol
