My 2021 Taycan base RWD lift mechanism is not working properly. It automatically raises up when I go over 70mph and then stays up until I go below 10mph when it drops automatically. As soon as I drive it above 70mph again it goes back up so I’m concerned the aerodynamics of my Taycan at speed will be degraded as well as the energy efficiency in miles per kWh. Has anyone else experienced this malfunction?

That certainly doesn’t sound right. Just curious if your suspension lowers when you select Range Mode?

My Porsche service advisor scheduled me in to troubleshoot the lift system.

No, once it goes up after you exceed 70mph it never goes down until your speed drops below 10mph. I’m going to leave it with Porsche on our next trip so they can hopefully figure out what is going on as well as to get the brakes recall done as well…
