Thank you! I believe there may have been a misunderstanding. I was referring to ARB7 monitoring, not the "smoke alarm" software that we're all still waiting for. ARB7 is already widely available, but it does require an active Porsche Connect subscription.
My dealer either wrote to me or told me directly what I previously stated: that, among other requirements, an active Porsche Connect subscription is necessary for OTA battery monitoring (ARB7). After receiving the initial email about this, I followed up and received confirmation. I know for a...
Being under ARB6, there is a possibility to change it to ARB7. This is the letter I received od 28.02.2025. from local Porsche dealer (translated):
As my Porsche Connect subscritpion has expired, I believe ARB7 is not possible. I am calling Porsche right now to make sure if it can be activated...
Whatever Porsche intended to achieve with this recall, the result for me is the opposite — it has created uncertainty and doubt, not just about the Taycan, but about Porsche as a whole. I used to be a passionate EV enthusiast, fully prepared to tolerate minor glitches, software bugs, even...
Agreed, this is not a proper solution of the core problem.
I did not renew MyPorsche app subscription which expired just days after I was notified about ARB6. It just isn’t worth 325EUR per year for me. If there were no problems with the car, I would renew it.
They offered to change it to...
The solution has been announced to be out by the end of Q1/2025. This obviously did not happen. We are still under 80% charge limit and every 60-day periodic checkup.
Thank you. Enabling Optimised Charging disables Preferred Charging Times, which is essential in my case — I charge during the day when solar power is available, so the energy goes directly to the car. However, I would prefer not to have to stand by the car to unplug the cable once the target...
Hello and please check this short video:
Excuse me for speaking in Croatian, I made the video for local Porsche dealer.
The car has been in for ARB6 check in late February and all software updates and recalls have been done. Charging parameters should be self explanatory (Direct charging is...
It's been around four and a half months since the ARB6/7 recall began. Isn’t that enough time to develop software that can detect battery anomalies? In case that is even possible, of course.
Especially considering that LG, the battery manufacturer with years of experience, is likely involved...
Thank you. My lawyer is preparing a lawsuit as local Porsche dealer refuses any other option regarding ARB6. Can you please post the link about this lawsuit? It might help.
Apologies for the tone of my first post here – I wish it could be a more positive one, but unfortunately I’m dealing with some frustration.
Given the 80% charging limit, mandatory 60-day inspections, and the indefinite delay of the promised diagnostic software – does this, in your opinion...
