    Battery Module Replacement Begins

    It took almost 3 months before I got the car back. In the interim, I negotiated a settlement with PCNA and upon its return I handed it over to them.

    Battery Module Replacement Begins

    Good luck with your battery replacement. I see you also have a 2021 4S. I haven't heard about the brake issue. What's that about?

    Recall: High Voltage Battery May Short Circuit APB5 (2021-23) - December 13, 2023

    I would have visited already if the dealership wasn't 45 miles away. ;) The turnaround for the battery is supposedly 4-5 weeks. The car was in the dealer's hands for about 10 days before the battery got shipped. If the battery gets reinstalled the moment it arrives (right) and the car is...

    Recall: High Voltage Battery May Short Circuit APB5 (2021-23) - December 13, 2023

    Your post prompted me to call my contact at the dealership to confirm where my car is stored. Apparently, the battery removal was done in a separate area at a larger nearby service facility owned by this Porsche center. My contact (who I trust) received assurances from multiple sources that my...

    Recall: High Voltage Battery May Short Circuit APB5 (2021-23) - December 13, 2023

    The dealer did provide me with a nearly new base Macan. I asked where the car would be kept and I was told that the car would be stored inside in a service bay. I should probably ask for a picture...

    Recall: High Voltage Battery May Short Circuit APB5 (2021-23) - December 13, 2023

    I posted about this in another thread but the short version is that, yes, my car is currently at the dealership for this recall. I took it in on June 3rd and was told the repair would take 4 weeks. At the 3 week mark I called for an update and was told that the battery was shipped to the repair...

    Battery Module Replacement Begins

    Yes, I was given an almost new base Macan. Decent vehicle, but no Taycan and putting gas in it is kind of a drag.

    Battery Module Replacement Begins

    Update: I checked with my dealer today since it's been almost 3 weeks since I took the car in and the original estimate for work complete on the battery module replacement was one month. I was informed that the battery was shipped early last week to Oklahoma City and the turnaround there is...

    APB6 - are the cables available ?

    My car is at the dealer now for the cell block module replacements for the main battery; APB5. My advisor said they would also be doing APB6 as the cables are available. I suppose I'll find out for sure once I get the car back, which apparently could be another couple of weeks from now if things...

    What color is this Taycan?

    I think Frozen Blue Metallic. The configurator doesn't render if faithfully.

    Scared the CRAP out of me

    I've had the same thing happen, with a similar reaction from me!

    Just picked up a Model 3 Performance ...

    I don't mean to offend, but I wouldn't even consider a Tesla, regardless of price. I know they are quick and offer decent value, but I can't get past the interior layout and design, cheap materials. quality issues and the fact that Musk owns the company.

    Battery Module Replacement Begins

    I'm going to guess that the "longer period of time" statement was because Porsche was still in the process of deciding how they would handle the battery rebuilds and they wanted to keep their options open. With my GT3 engine replacement there was a question about whether it would be handled by...

    Battery Module Replacement Begins

    My understanding is that it is for recall APB5. Attached is the only correspondence I have received from Porsche about this issue and it arrived at the same time as another notice regarding the 240V NEMA power cable for the mobile charger. The date on the notice below is January 22, 2023 but I...

    Battery Module Replacement Begins

    Well Jim, hopefully they didn't drop my car off the lift and are just playing for time to get it repaired! :eek: Seriously, from what my advisor said it sounds like this was the first car from their dealership to have this recall started. Apparently, they were notified just today of parts...

    Battery Module Replacement Begins

    It appears that Porsche has begun the process of replacing battery modules that we first heard about a few months back. I took my 2021 4S to the dealership yesterday to have the heater recall done and when I got a call from them this afternoon I was expecting to hear that it was ready to be...

    Do NOT crack your panoramic glass!

    Very sorry to hear of your panoramic roof issue. Makes me glad that I have the aluminum solid roof option.
