I'm leaning toward the second probability as he should have tested all this before he returned the car to you.

yeah my theory is overfilling the system may have blown a hose and i instantly lost all coolant on the highway at some point which explains why i never saw puddles or anything at any time, most if not all the coolant was gone

i'll never ignore that light again on any porsche though, next time that stupid light coolant comes on if the temps are <200 I'm driving straight to shop and leaving it until light is off and if the temps are over 3/4th i'm pulling over and having it towed to the shop
