Does anyone have any idea what the two green wires are for? I found them exactly like this on my brand new 2025 Macan 4S EV. I assume it's some sort of grounding, but shouldn't they be attached to something?

Looks like those leak sensors they put in cars but usually they get tucked under the carpet or in the trim somewhere. That’s foil on the ends right?

Yeah, it's foil. I suspect it's grounding strips and I can see where they are suppose to connect, but I can't get to it. Service center visiting coming soon I guess.

If they have foil ends and the green cover on the wiring is paper-like, there’s no issue except maybe for them being visible.

My understanding is that they’re used during the QA process to detect moisture or something.
