    Day after purchasing Taycan 4S Electrical system error and bricked car in the middle of the highway.

    Probably yes but I am not sure if the dealer/Porsche will update DME and PE to these versions if your car does not have any stored error codes i.e. has not lost its power while driving. And I don't understand why Porsche has not yet recalled the few hundred cars that had WMA5/6 to install the...

    Day after purchasing Taycan 4S Electrical system error and bricked car in the middle of the highway.

    3397 is the PCM version after WMA5/6 but that has nothing to do with the versions of the other non-PCM modules. Each module has its own version.

    Day after purchasing Taycan 4S Electrical system error and bricked car in the middle of the highway.

    The eng mode of PCM will not display the versions of non-pcm modules. The WMA5 versions and patched versions for DME and PE modules are shown in this post https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/i-lost-all-power-in-the-outside-lane.2950/post-69956

    Day after purchasing Taycan 4S Electrical system error and bricked car in the middle of the highway.

    It is interesting how they would do a rushed shipment of parts in order to sell a car sooner, but when the order is to repair an already sold car they will do the standard shipment that takes at least 3 weeks... It says something about the after sales customer service.

    HomeLink confusion

    I have tried that. Often times the voice prompt takes 30+sec so it is by far the worst option at least for my car. I was able to reproduce in front of the salesperson, where we pushed the voice command button and the PCM was handing doing nothing for a while... Add it to the list of software...

    HomeLink confusion

    If you have two garage doors assigned then there is no way to program the diamond button to open one of them. The diamond button will only bring up the homelink pop-up on the screen and as you said if you use the camera then you cannot even see the homelink. Very bad user interface, clearly...

    Day after purchasing Taycan 4S Electrical system error and bricked car in the middle of the highway.

    Today it is 16 (13 for 2020 and 3 for 2021) complaints which is not a small number given the small population of Taycans and the relativelyshort time they are on the roads. Usually people don't report in NHTSA. Other big recalls for various brands have happened with only 1-2 complaints. Good...

    Day after purchasing Taycan 4S Electrical system error and bricked car in the middle of the highway.

    I also want to see proof but to be fair it has happened to me more than once to try to contact the dealer for days (for my Macan issues) and they were not responding to my calls. I guess if they have haven't figure out things yet they sometimes disappear. Also if the car is stalled in the middle...

    Day after purchasing Taycan 4S Electrical system error and bricked car in the middle of the highway.

    You said that the police helped tow the car out of the highway, so if there is a police report or any photos with the police around that is strong evidence that you should include in the complaint (you can upload documentation, photos, etc)

    Should I be worried? (12V battery question)

    13.4V is normal. When the car is off for a while it drops to 12.x but once you start the car it goes back to 13.4V after a few seconds and that is the normal operating voltage.

    i need to activate sport chrono

    For Macans, Porsche offered a factory-aproved sport-chrono retrofit. The process included the installation of the physical Sport+ button AND a software update to enable it. I am pretty sure that software change is also needed for the Taycan and if Porsche does not offer the retrofit as a paid...

    NHTSA investigating Taycan power loss issue

    Wow, maybe they want to hide that they know about the issues and they haven't done anything about it yet. We should start submitting NHTSA complaints for other safety related issues like ParkAssist and WBA failing intermittently. The response "it is just a glitch and restart the car" is not an...

    Day after purchasing Taycan 4S Electrical system error and bricked car in the middle of the highway.

    Bmw issued a stop sale for all hybrid 2021 models and cars are sitting at dealer lots for months because of a tiny chance the battery had a manufacturing issue that can lead to fire. All existing owners were notified and they were given instructions how to minimize the chance of a fire...

    Day after purchasing Taycan 4S Electrical system error and bricked car in the middle of the highway.

    10 NHTSA reports is a high number for for a population of 6k Taycans in the US. If you look at other brands and other issues many safety recalls are issued for smaller number of cases. If there was an accident due to issue investigation could have started sooner.

    Day after purchasing Taycan 4S Electrical system error and bricked car in the middle of the highway.

    Despite so many cases of Taycans stalling, Porsche's response is that the car remains safe to drive... So good luck to all of us. https://www.google.com/amp/s/insideevs.com/news/508890/nhtsa-investigation-taycan-power-loss/amp/

    Day after purchasing Taycan 4S Electrical system error and bricked car in the middle of the highway.

    The electrical error has been reported multiple times and it is usually linked to bad main battery in particular in new cars. Usually this error is not fixed with restarting the car like the motor error which is due to the software bug.

    Day after purchasing Taycan 4S Electrical system error and bricked car in the middle of the highway.

    You are new to the forum and you have not seen the numerous posts about the sudden power loss when driving. Some people are even canceling their orders. There is an NHTSA investigation in progress. If you are in the US then file an NHTSA complaint online. There are possibly several root causes...

    Breaker tripped during charging

    I guess you mean a double pole 30A breaker which certainly cannot provide the max power that PMCC can use. By default PMCC is set st 32A so if you haven't lowered it then it is expected that it trips the breaker and consider yourself lucky if nothing have melted. you have to lower PMCC current...
