Is there anyone under any charging restrictions today? That’s repeated here often but my understanding is that 1) all restrictions have been rescinded, and 2) that no one ever followed any recommendations. So what is the actual issue? Lots of what if complaining about situations that haven’t...

I am not suggesting there are not Taycans that have caught fire, but there are many possible causes of fires. Hard to confirm the fires in the links shared were caused by a defective battery, and not caused by some other means. There are many electrical components and high voltage systems in...

I don’t think we know the details of discussions between Porsche and LG. For all we know Porsche has agreed to this software step as a means to prioritize and schedule future replacements for all batteries. As in which batteries have “aged” the most and LG needs time to manufacturer...

Also have it. Cleaning them is the solution.

I also have the same issue. Says service now, but there is no service due and I recently had all recalls completed.

I think it’s likely that at the end of this data collection period by Porsche, we will be getting new batteries via recall. That prior to the new J1.2 battery, this issue was not resolved and replacing batteries with a new faulty battery made no sense, so Porsche has strategically delayed until...

@D00notD00d Thanks for the info. I understand that there is a manufacturing issue that causes failures. I guess I am misunderstanding the information you provided suggesting this had something to do with the way someone is charging that could lead to failure. My interpretation in reading posts...

@ForeverWild Not trying to be a stalker but that is an unreal gorgeous home. Architectural Digest type living. Kudos!!!

I don’t think it quite makes them J1.2s, maybe a J1.1+. Not likely to make them any faster, just make the range greater. I do think it will either put a higher floor on the depreciation, or add some value back if this picks up momentum or we all get new improved batteries at no cost via recall...

What is the exact charging condition that causes battery failures? You have this data and Porsche does not? Or they do but chose not to issue any direction to avoid these failures? Am I understanding your position correctly? Please share to everyone so we can avoid this charging condition and...

No idea what the above response means. If you were intending to provide a useful and informative response with data to confirm the battery failures are due to specific charging methods, you didn’t do a good job. Thanks for the response however. @Gino I also thought it was foolish to think...

I was curious if the problem is actually related to charging at all, or just wear and tear and it doesn’t matter under what conditions you charge that you may or may not have a defect. I have interpreted some user posts to believe high speed DC charging is more problematic and others respond...

Why do you believe the defect is dormant until it is disrupted by some charging condition? What would lead you to that conclusion?

This is good news for all of us I believe. If our battery dies under warranty, we get a new, likely higher capacity pack. We also have a future purchase option that will be manufactured for the foreseeable future to keep our vehicles from becoming obsolete. Of course more detail is needed, but...

This is good news, along with the additional news about the OTA updates, etc. who would have thought patience was key. Sounds to me like Porsche has been developing an executable alternative should all batteries need to be replaced by making the new battery pack backward compatible. So I guess...

My issue has completely gone away since I have the brake line recall and flush, and the TSB to reprogram the brake booster.

FYI. I called Porsche customer service. They indicated that Porsche Connect which is a paid service (free for 3 yrs) is not required for OTA updates. Porsche Connect Care which is free for 10 yrs, is required, and requires you to have a Porsche ID and account setup. Paid subscription is not...

You’re wrong about Apple iPhones I provided two industry articles. You did not. You are wrong about that which is what I said and you’re a sad little person who can not admit you are wrong. To continue to state that more than one supplier do not manufacture displays for the same iPhone model...

Clearly you don’t know how “this works” , thank you ? no need to reply and accept you were wrong since you work in manufacturing and everything. You have proven to be an expert. Being wrong about Apple doesn’t really matter, but spreading misinformation and representing yourself as an expert on...

I am not suggesting you are lying or wrong. I am saying the software is obviously not widely released. No Porsche official communication has been made. I believe it’s prudent for everyone that does not have the software installed to be patient before tearing Porsche down and their customer...
