Sure it is. Here's your links: Link to the Porsche Taycan warranty information: https://files.porsche.com/filestore/download/usa/none/porscheservice-warrantyandvehicleinformation-warranty-2021taycanwarrantymanual/default/97d2a7a5-74eb-11eb-80d3-005056bbdc38/2021-US-Taycan-Warranty-Manual.pdf https://files.porsche.com/filestore/download/usa/none/porsch... In that document, it states the following: Your Responsibility for Normal Use Your Owner’s Manual (which includes specific recommendations against using your car in certain ways) was written with the assumption that you will use your car only in ways for which it was designed. Please refer to your Owner’s Manual for important information on how to maximize the life and capacity of the high-voltage battery. (Sidenote, also excluded is "The vehicle was subjected to improper treatment or excessive demands (e.g., using the vehicle in motorsport competitions) or otherwise overstraining or overloading the vehicle.", which is implies you're not allowed to track the car at all) Owners Manual link: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/attachments/2020-porsche-taycan-drivers-owners-manual-pdf.3634/?hash=f1054d844b404c69dc097ac2448c927a https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/attachments/2020-porsche-t... It states the following (page 63): Notes on leaving the vehicle unused for long periods For idle periods of two weeks or longer: e Do not park the vehicle with a discharged high-voltage battery; connect it permanently to the mains supply instead. e Make sure that the high-voltage battery is charged to between 20% and 50% throughout the idle period. The Profile function can be used for this purpose, for example. e Make sure that the ambient temperature is between 0 °C and 20 °C in the vehicle's location. If it is not possible to connect the vehicle permanently to the mains supply: e Charge the high-voltage battery halfway (to a charge level of 50%) before parking the vehicle. e Check the charge level every three months and recharge if necessary so that the charge level does not drop below 20%. e Make sure that the ambient temperature is between 0 °C and 20 °C in the vehicle's location. e Avoid using the Porsche Connect smartphone app. Establishing a connection between the app and the vehicle activates the high-voltage system and therefore discharges the high-voltage and 12-volt batteries. Note, all these things are reviewed by legal at a company like Porsche. They chose not to use words like 'if possible' or 'we recommend', unlike in other places where it talks about HV battery care. These are instructions, and if you violate them then it reads to me like Porsche has a right to yank your warranty. Maybe Porsche is more lenient, but the strict reading implies to me that failing to follow owners manual instructions (i.e., using the car as 'designed') is a warranty yank.

This is a major stretch. To be clear, the warranty does not exclude or disclaim cars due to any charging specifications. You seem to think that the fact the warranty mentions the Owner's Manual, any deviation from the precise specs mentioned there would lead to a warranty exclusion, which is not the case by any means. Every auto manufacturer has certain specs or recommendations -- Use premium (high-octane) fuel. Only use specific brand of motor oil / anti-freeze / brake fluid. Follow local speed limits. And yet, except very extreme circumstances, they honor their warranty even when they know you haven't followed those precise instructions. No car manufacturer will deny a warranty claim because you drove on 28 psi tires when the manual stated 30. Now if you drove at 12 psi for thousands of miles, yea, they might not replace the suspension. If you never changed the oil in 4 years, they might have an issue -- but if you used Quaker State instead of Mobil 1, and waited till 8000 miles instead of 7500, they aren't going to void the warranty. The Teslarati "article" (really, just an unfounded, unverified, unsubstantiated rumor) was widely shared at Taycan forums, like the one you linked to, and not a single person reported having any warranty denial issues (or fire issues) like what was stated.
