The temps here have been in the mid 90's this week and I had a very odd and concerning experience with my Taycan.

Parked in my garage with about 140 miles or range remaining. Didn't charge it up.
Went to drive it today and it showed 28 miles of range!
Went to plug it in, and it says Direct Charging but saying 'Charging Not Possible' and 10%/25 miles of range remaining.
The light next to the charge port is showing red, and my home charger (ChargePoint) is showing a full steady blue ring.

At this rate it will brick shortly.

What is wrong?

That has zero to do with the ambient temperature. Regularly (nightly) plugged mine in in Central Texas, when outside temps were well over 100F and never had an issue. Call your Porsche center and have them get it asap.

That was what I thought- Porsche roadside just hauled it away…and I got the dreaded red circle of death electrical failure warning. This doesn’t look good. ;(
