I had to flatbed my 4S last week after hitting a pot hole. 3 bad battery modules and the shields under the car. Batteries $64000(covered by Porsche). $38000 for the shields being passed to State Farm as an accident claim. Porsche isn’t on the preferred list so let’s see what the offer is…...
This may sound silly however I’m starting to keep my 12v on a tender to avoid this again. I also remove the key fob batteries for about 30. 3x it’s happened and it corrected 3x. Just got the damn things started, it happened this am
I’ve got a 6 month old 12v battery. If I park it longer than a few days I have to put a tender on and play the “hide the key fob” game and fiddle with stuff until it will move. Does anybody know if interior monitoring pulls a heavy drain on the battery?
I’ve experienced this in other cars I’ve owned. I heavily apply Gliptone conditioner (or another good leather conditioner) and leave it out in the sun and let the stuff soak in with the heated seats on and heat full blast. The leather becomes more supple and forms to your shape. Hope this helps.
I cut my teeth on a boxster, moved into a Panamera and now onto the Taycan. I’ve loved em all but there’s something special about driving an iPad with Porsche designing the experience. Enjoy the ride
