2024 PORSCHE TAYCAN 4S

The vehicle is listed at auction with a salvage title and “SIDE” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that visible left-side body-panel deformation and deployed side-restraint fabric support the stated SIDE claim; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The visible damage is concentrated on the left side. The left front door outer panel has broad, deep deformation with multiple creases around the handle area and lower section. The left rear door has a broad dent and surface creasing through the middle and lower portions. The left rear quarter panel is deformed and creased around the rear wheel arch, extending toward the rear lamp opening. A curtain airbag is visibly deployed, with white fabric hanging from the left roof-side area above the rear seat and along the upper door opening. The trim and liner around the upper left door opening and roof edge are displaced, with light-colored material and restraint fabric exposed. Airbag-system components, seat belts, roof structure, door structures, and related safety systems will require professional inspection and likely replacement or repair. The findings do not establish the condition of the high-voltage battery, charging system, suspension, wheels, alignment, or mechanical and electrical systems. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2024 Porsche Taycan 4S sedan, Type Y1A, built in Germany. It is an all-wheel-drive battery-electric vehicle with an automatic two-speed transmission, four seats, and a battery capacity range decoded as 79.2–93.4 kWh. The decoded output lists an engine-brake power range of 522–562 hp and standard equipment including front and side airbags, curtain airbags for the first and second rows, electronic stability control, traction control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, and parking assistance. The supplied NHTSA recall records include several campaigns relevant to 2024 Taycan vehicles. Recall 23V841000 concerns the 220V/240V compact charging cable, which may overheat at a 100% charge setting; the listed remedy is a replacement cable with a temperature sensor. Recalls 24V217000 and 24V732000 concern possible high-voltage battery-module short circuits and an increased fire risk. The records advise limiting charging to 80% until the applicable repair is completed; 24V732000 is described as replacing earlier battery recalls and providing diagnostic software and battery-module replacement where necessary. Recall 24V455000 concerns front brake hoses that may crack and leak brake fluid, with hose replacement as the remedy. Recall 24V654000 concerns incorrect headlight-control-module software, and recall 25V896000 concerns the rearview camera image not displaying in reverse. Recall completion for this vehicle should be verified by VIN with Porsche or NHTSA before purchase, and the high-voltage battery and charging system should be inspected by a qualified Porsche electric-vehicle technician.
