300,000km Taycan
A few months ago I posted here about how, on our rebuilt Taycan batteries, we replaced the factory Polytec Liquid TIM with old-school thermal pads, and also stopped using factory screws to seal the lids, we rivet them instead and use Syka EV sealant instead of factory sealant glue... Several Porsche dealer techs laughed 🥹
1.5 years ago, this Taycan came to us at around 195,000 km with a yellow electrical system fault and unable to charge. The factory seal had failed, water got into the HV battery, and several modules were badly leaking. We fully rebuilt the pack and sealed it according to our own internal spec.
Today the car came back at an astonishing 270,000 km, but for a completely unrelated issue: a rat had chewed through the rear left air spring wires. The rebuilt battery is still doing its job after around 80,000 km in its second life, more than many factory packs ever do before needing serious work. They laughed, but the battery kept driving.
