Does 'it seems' mean you did this deed? If so you must look in the mirror as to who caused this. Porsche did not place this speed bump in front of you.

What could you possibly mean? Are you inferring that I somehow damaged the car and caused it to do this????????

Let’s see some pics! 10 posts?

"Sadly today it seems to have hit a fairly large speed hump. "
According to your own post I would assume so.

it’s a car, stuff happens. hope they get you back on the road quickly

That's an absurd response. No matter the brand, this should not happen. It's not because it's a car that one should have to even think about or worry that this could happen upon immediate ownership. WHY is the question that so many P owners are asking. I just hope that upon taking possession of my first P soon, that I'm not having to write the same diatribe as Stanno57😢

I think he meant hit a speed bump figuratively not literally. At first I thought the same thing as you.
Just read it as: today it hit a snag or it hit a problem…

It's a fairly common phrase in Australia, not an actual event. It basically means that that unexpected negative event occurred.

It was a metaphor.

Any car pics?

It must be a real pisser, too. As metaphors, go...

I'm glad the OP didn't say he was up the river without a paddle. There probably would be no warranty coverage for that.

Update from a week or so ago. Part found somewhere in Germany. On its way over.

no photos of car yet as I’d only be posting photos of a red Corolla that Is my loaner.

I thought he meant "hit a speed hump" metaphorically (i.e., ran into a bit of a problem). I guess not....

I missed your post! Nailed it.

So it was the noise simulation module. They replaced it and all good now. Only took two months…

I also thought the "hit the speed bump" mean just that, an actual speed bump. It really would've been a shame if this can happen to a Porsche which is mean to be able to go off road. Made me think of a rental Volvo XC60 I had a few years ago and I'd shamefully drive over significant speed bumps without slowing down at all. Couldn't stop smiling as only my seat belt would stop me from hitting my head on the roof.

What is a noise simulation module?

Pretty sure it pipes artificial exhaust noise into the cabin

i might be mistaken and be thinking of the taycan though

I thought only BMW is doing this

Tried X3 M40i and the artificial engine sound in the cabin is very very annoying

I read somewhere that 911s do this too, but they don't feed the noise into speakers, they have some sort of actuator which vibrates the firewall/windshield. I know this sounds very stupid to have but I did see a post around here somewhere with actual details about the device... can't find it now.
