Fair comment and I understand where you are coming from. You are correct, money is not the problem. Psychologically, I just can't pay a dealer $500 to swap out a battery when I can do it myself in 30 minutes. I started out with $20 bucks in my pocket so I really value a buck. I still pick up pennies off the ground when I see them to my wife's embarrassment. A Penny earned is a Penny saved kinda thing. I paid cash for my two Porsches and retired last year at age 51. Doing things like swapping out my own battery got me there.You have a brand new Carrera (with European delivery) and very new Boxster (also with European delivery), forgive me but money doesn't seem to be the problem, FWIW I would not hesitate to have the dealer replace the battery with the correct OEM model and configure it with the PIWIS...
Oh, I just noticed under your name: "Next Porsche: 2022 Macan"...
Are all of the variables and angst worth it for a couple of hundred dollars?
