    Week 2 : Electrical System Fault- park safely

    I read on another forum here about removing the key from close to the car and returning after a while and the fault was gone. Thats why i bought a faraday box and store the keys there. When one came up with the error after trying 3 or 4 times I switched key to the one in the box and it started...

    Week 2 : Electrical System Fault- park safely

    https://www.porsche.com/uk/models/taycan/taycan-models/taycan-4s/ 318miles Maybe range should be for a different thread, this one is about the electrical system failure which I have had twice now in 6 weeks of ownership and am quite annoyed. I wondered if the battery was faulty and why the...

    Week 2 : Electrical System Fault- park safely

    I get the impression Porsche fully understands the problem (service man said it happens a lot) but it would cost a lot to recall and so they they just fix as they break. We are seduced by the looks and acceleration and so as soon as it comes back we chose to forget. I did for 10 days until it...

    Week 2 : Electrical System Fault- park safely

    I fear you are right. My car is 6 weeks old now. The HV charger was the thing that first caused the breakdown 4 weeks ago (after 2 weeks), got it fixed after 2 weeks and car back 10 days ago. Now I wonder if a faulty charger ruins the battery by not charging it correctly. Holding my breath

    Week 2 : Electrical System Fault- park safely

    I tried a few times, returning after 15 minutes, nothing. Then i tried a different key which had been in a faraday box and it worked with no fault?! Will monitor it over next few days and try the other key again

    Week 2 : Electrical System Fault- park safely

    Hi, I started this thread because I broke down in the first 2 weeks of ownership. I was worried that the failure of the HV charger had affected my battery life as I never got more than 210 miles from it and the Porsche website says over 320 miles ….. I tested it this weekend when it came back...

    Delete - Electrical System Fault - Undriveable

    I had a look on the Audi GT Site and they seem to have similar issues. Don’t think the technology is ready. The service guy said he worked for Tesla and Jaguar and they had customers breaking down as they left the garage. He was trying to cheer me up as I mentioned the Porsche broke with 2...

    Delete - Electrical System Fault - Undriveable

    It was in colour when I got it at Christmas, after it broke down they said it needed 2 updates and it seems to have fixed excessive brake travel which gave me some heart stopping moments on the motorway. I think there was an earlier campaign as they like to call it last year which was to fix...

    Delete - Electrical System Fault - Undriveable

    I started a similar thread as I had 2 weeks of enjoyment this christmas followed by the red screen of doom which bricked it. It was the HV charger which needed replaced and took 2 weeks to source and i day to fit. They also updated software at the same time which has improved the brakes. The...

    sounds like the 12v battery has failed as not being charged by the main battery....?

    Week 2 : Electrical System Fault- park safely

    I think the part delivery for my T was delayed by the Christmas holiday, and the repair took longer due to the other warnings on the dash that needed software update. I hope the new part is not the same type as the one it replaced…

    Week 2 : Electrical System Fault- park safely

    Hi Skilly I just got my car back after 2 weeks in the garage. Hurrah!! It bricked after only 2 weeks and 500 miles of ownership so I’m keeping my fingers crossed it’s all good now. Bizarrely it was much quicker than I expected (electric cars reliability is so bad that 2 weeks is good?!) It...

    Week 2 : Electrical System Fault- park safely

    I know how you feel :( although because my car blocked with full lock on I needed a bigger low loader. The steering did eventually turn under massive effort once it was rolling, but really worried (my partner) that if it fails while driving at speed it will be impossible to steer to safety. I...
