So an interim update on my red circle of death - they finally got to look at my car today - in an earlier post i mentioned that the car was completely dead when i went to the dealer on Thursday night, i was not sure if they isolated it or if the 12v battery was dead.
Tonight the service rep told...
well @GreggT you are further ahead than I am so far ..... dealer has been cooperative, my car was dropped off at the dealer by Porsche assist 30th December - and the dealer service dept. were on vacation until Tuesday this week - on Tuesday my car was car number 27 in line for attention with 11...
The real question is not whether telematics (or data) work - it does - I have started and exited a very profitable business that generated $billions doing just that.
So I can guarantee you that the data used in the right way can bring more balance to who pays what when attempting to indemnify a...
This thread linked below has some very useful tips from members. I did a similar distance trip two days after I got the car.
All that content in the thread is useful - and the best personal advice I can give you is to make sure you have access to ABRP and make it a conservative charge plan. I...
thanks everyone - service dept and my SA are all on vacation til Tuesday - tow truck dropped the car off saturday and they called me and that is when i asked about a loaner - i will see how they respond Tuesday - if it is not the dreaded HV battery i may get it back quick in any event …..

That is not Coronado…. That is Indian Wells Ca where I have a winter home …. I was preparing to head out to Coronado on a trip for a New Years Eve party when the red circle appeared.
I am at the hotel Del Coronado now……. a rather more gloomy room picture this morning ……,
So…. I have searched and cannot find a definitive answer.
In the scenario of a CPO warranty matter - where the dealer has to keep the car for some time - is providing a loaner an obligation or a perk?
For the life of me - until today I had always believed it was an obligation (and in 40 years...
So it is maybe my turn ….. heading out to Coronado today for a New Year’s party ….. got in the car last night and saw the dreaded red electrical system error …. Tow arranged to Palm Springs Porsche ….. let’s see where we end up………
yes that ^^ I get the same issue as a radio station skips from digital to FM when the digital signal drops in and out …. The two signals from the same station being slightly out of synch ……
What struck me in the link-through FOTW article - are the relatively few trips that are more than 50 miles in the US - I know as well as anyone reading this how stats can be misread and repurposed to fit a story.... so I can work through all of the ah's and but's .... in reality when you look at...
Some interesting reading .... I know the likely response ... but I think this is a little more than click bait, some good data ..... and some of the links are an equally interesting read also....

In my case for 12v reset ……… The second time when it worked I left it disconnected for thirty minutes, the first time when it did not work I had left it for only 5 minutes.
I have corrected my original post to clarify time powered down …. But here is the full process I followed as written in...
I had this same issue when I Was traveling on a long road trip (that I have mentioned in a prior post)….
Porsche support like in the OP case were extremely helpful, they also told me it needed a Conbox High reset at the dealer (same email from them almost verbatim) …. The dealer however was...
I have owned two Panamera's, a 4S and a GTS … I would never swap my Taycan 4S for another Panamera ……… unless they made an EV version….. for me the drive just simply does not compare …..
I agree with a number of the comments….. in that it all depends on the config.
I drive a less “stand out” White Taycan 4S (which I love and is my favorite car from a long line in the last 30 years)…. and it sure gets enough attention……. but my 964 wide body speedster is a rare beast and takes...
Agree - but ultimately the purpose here is to allow consumers to make an informed decision.
So whether it is changing the test construct or moderating the behaviors of those taking the test (when looking for loopholes and mechanisms to skew the result) - something needs to be corrected.

it has always surprised me that the controls on these range claims are not regulated better.
