It has to be a "rolling average" menaing, if you did 10k the first 6 months and 4 k the last 6 months, it does not apply

I guess my dealer is not "accomodating"

Yep - here's an excerpt from the warranty book:

• To be driven on reasonable road surfaces within legal speed limits.

Porsche Guidelines specify reasonable mileage to be at least 15

miles / 24 kilometers per day or 6000 miles / 9600 kilometers per

rolling 12 months.

• If you drive less than the above-mentioned limits, or in the event of

prolonged storage, contact your local authorized Porsche dealer for

instructions.

(Note: A battery maintainer is available at your local authorized

Porsche dealer. It must be used to maintain your vehicle’s battery

state of charge if your vehicle will not be used for several days.)

SoCal near beach is kind to batteries. I get 6 years on my drivers. After that they start turning over weak. I use a maintainer on my porsche. It's almost 4 and very strong. Just tested and checked out good. Make sure you check water if you can pull the caps!
