Taycan suddenly turned off! Message displayed, “electric system error.”

[Mnaber]

My Taycan totally turned off. I’d done everything suggested here on the Forum, it did not get the car to start. At first, a message displayed on the dashboard read, “electric system error, service necessary”. After few attempts, using the keyfob, walked away from the car, tried to get I to start again, as it was suggested to do here on this forum, in hope to get it to start, the car totally turned off and the dashboard turned all black.

It happened on a Friday, I had to get it towed to the dealer for service after the weekend on Monday. I had no car during the weekend, It took few days for the service shop to order and get the part. Luckely, it happened at my home, I can't imaging this is happening to me or anyone in the middle of nowhere.
I'm curious to know, once the car warranty has expired, do I have to pay for incidents such as this, the car sudden turn off and not get it to start? Or, is this a manufacture defect?

Sorry to read this. I hope it is not a HV battery issue. What year is your Taycan?

You're lucky it was just a part that need replacing.
That message can usually mean you need a new main battery.

That's the down side of electric cars, they can just stop working and there is nothing you can do about it except the dealer.

Curious as to what "part " is being replaced.
There are dozens of threads on this but usually it's down to faults with the hv battery.
Never seems to be a quick fix I.e swap out a part.

A "yellow ring" error is better than a "red ring" error - this may be something similar than a full HV repair/replacement...

Hope you get sorted quickly. I had similar error back on October 1st in the Uk. My Taycan is still at the dealer and as yet still no date for a fix !! Now into week 14 !!!!

Unfortunately, this is not necessarily true. I also had the yellow electrical system message. Lucky for me the car didn't lose power BUT dealer confirmed I need new HV Battery - 2002 Taycan Turbo with absolutely no prior battery or electrical issues. Dealer has had my car for several weeks already and no estimate yet on when replacement battery will get here and be installed. @DaveHockton, sorry you are feeling my pain, but worse so far.

My car 2022. The service shop listed per service order. “Replace charger and bleed cooling system, program chager and recode.”

That is great news.

I was told the charger was replaced.

I’d attached a copy of the repair invoice what waa done. I don't even get it, what charger that was replaced!

I have had the yellow warning twice now. First time a few months ago - then again today.

Luckily I contacted the dealer and made an appt the first time it happened - when there were no service spots for Taycans for months ahead. So luckily it's now booked in, in about 2 weeks time.

I have now decided I am not going to keep the car longer term (my original plan). It's way too much a liability.
I'll cut my losses and move on. The car has spent more time at the dealership than all my other cars combined....going back to 1981!

Especially as Porsche seem to have no urgency in increasing parts supplies or training more technicians for the many poor souls with failed Taycans.....they are far more bothered about selling new improved Taycans and Macan EVs.

Hi, I got the same problem too, Taycan 4S, 2022. The engineer said, it is a common issue for this year made's Taycan. Now my car is under the inspection...
