It may be haram to say it but I've thought about a Supra 6MT as well. people heap praise on those about as consistently as a 911. maybe a cayman would be a better compromise. idk, I need to drive them all.

The Supra was my Top dream car before for whatever reason i could get a Cross Turismo. I would still love it when the CT goes but doubt that they are still the way it is then. Might as well imagine that the BMW Z4 Estate is a production car then haha.

Being without your car for five months sucks. Getting a new battery with updated chemistry on a 2020 would be amazing. I hope my battery screws up in five years!

my neighbor just bought a 2020 Turbo 14K miles 3 weeks ago...went to drive it last week only to find out that it was a Brick!
Long story short Porsche Dealer said they have to replace the entire Battery Pack but it will take 4 to 5 months. They also mentioned that this is not uncommon on 2020's. I have a 2020 Turbo with 30K miles...Now I'm worried

Is this a common issue? Do 2021,22, 23 have this issue?

Did he buy it from the dealer? If so i'd have thought he'd have a strong case to give them the keys back? Or at least a like for like loan car.

Not that I’ve heard about. I have a 2020 4S and it’s performing perfectly.

2020 4S+, battery started draining overnight last Monday, and finally died last Thursday after only 36,000km...

Common? No.

More common than the other model years? Yes.

Not at all.
It's defenately not more common on older models.
There are more older models so it may look like that but it isn't.
I have one of the first models and I keep an eye on that especially.
Overall, it's not common.
I'm on 32.000 km an no problems whatsoever.

Congrats to your friend for getting a brand new battery under warranty.

Normally they do not replace the entire battery. Only modules.
Maybe in this case (old battery chemistry) they do replace the entire battery to avoid mixing different battery chemistries.

I am really interested to know what the actual cost is of replacing modules and replacing the entire battery out of warranty.
Somebody quoted above 30000-40000 $. I find that hard to believe. I don't think it is that expensive.

What I know is that a full battery replacement for a Tesla model S with refurbished batteries costs about 10000 euro. (I know somebody who paid about 9000 euro for a 8 year old model S)
And I also read somewhere that one Porsche battery module costs 1500 euro. Pure material cost, without labor. Which sounds normal taking into account Li-ion cell costs.

So I am assuming replacing one module in a Taycan should be somewhere around 5000-6000 euro including labor costs. And replacing an entire battery with a refurbished battery should be 10000-15000 euro.

But I am curious to know the actual real cost.

Yes it's a common issue. s, it's normal. We're all going to die sometime .
Maybe your neighbor will die in front of you.. because of a Porsche .. Enjoy the moment.

Exactly this. Happened to me. Sucked to be without my car for 4 months (that's how long it took to acquire and replace the battery). But now I have a 2020 with a brand new battery and an extended warranty.

I'd hope with that low mileage we'd have no issues. this isn't some supercar, this is a daily driver sedan. I'm at 25k miles (40k km) and have not had any battery issues, very early production 2020 as well. my worst issues so far are rattling noises and a tail light that sometimes intermittently disconnects in the heat.

losing the car for 4 months hurts no doubt - but getting a refurbished/new battery 3 years in isn't not the worst outcome.

kudo's to porsche for honoring the warranty.

Dear Porsche - I'm looking to have my 2020 Taycan battery fall out of spec in March of 2027 at 75,437 miles…please schedule the new battery now.
