This is a little worrying too.
Does this mean the battery, at 100% charge, delivers 54% of stock charge capacity?

Spotted this interesting advert:
2024 Blue Porsche Taycan for sale for £106,400 in HIGH WYCOMBE, BUCKINGHAMSHIRE

You can clearly see the red ring of death in their photos, but they've tried to photoshop out the error - heh in one photo they have even copied and pasted the '0mph' from the central tube to the right tube to hide the error :clap:
Trying to sell a car before even fixing it is a new low.

Are they gonna start fixing it once it's already sold, so the new owner can wait 3 months to get his car?

But hey, the EV market is dificult, that's why Porsche EVs don't sell... nothing to do with scummy moves like this one :D

I have to assume that was to get pics online ASAP while they work out the CPO review (this was done for several cars I looked at during my search).

Not every red circle is "ring of death".
It's just an active alarm.

Exhibit A:

According to another pic of the ad, it could well be something with the TPMS which will also give a red warning and an exclamation mark.

Exhibit B:

Or it has something to do with the tire change, not enough pressure or TPMS failure.

Common practice for dealers. If the rectify the issue before they sell the car, they do so at their own expense. If they sell the car, they can then rectify the issue under the new owners warranty and bill Porsche UK.
