I commented on that page but no clue how to actually add it.

This has happened to me twice...once while parked in the city a few weeks ago, and then recently in my garage...waited 15 minutes or so, and the car did reset/reboot. But I took it in yesterday to the dealer anyway for quick review and they're also going to do some additional updates that I didn't' know even existed, I hope this fixes the dreaded " red circle" problem. Otherwise I'm concerned with driving it too far from home!
Happened to me yesterday with several warnings like, "Check range","Engine Control Error". Was forced to get a Tow from a Specialized Tow Service. Luckily my Dealership was open yesterday and a Loaner Macan was there waiting for me. This Helpess feeling when you are driving on a road or Highway and Electrical Shutdown, has me thinking about going back to an ICE. Will see what they find.

Mine went in December, fair bit of work done. All fixed now and no faults.
Range is a little down, was 230, now 200 miles. And seems to use more miles. drive 50 and its down to 125 - maybe its the cold weather, will see if it improves.

Battery Condition -
Faults for the high voltage convertor that line up with the warnings in the instrument cluster, I am awaiting a technical ticket from Porsche as to whether to replace this and the high voltage charger in the car.
Both replaced.

Air Conditioning -
There is a pressure sensor failure for the air con system, I will be replacing all 3 sensors involved and this should resolve the pre heat

Warning Lights (inc ignition, engine oil etc) -
I am investigating the various intermittent warning lights, please note the warnings for the front camera needing to be cleaned are either a dirty screen or mist between the camera and the screen, this should self clear after a few minutes once the camera screen heater warms up and clears it. I will update here once I have completed my diagnosis. UPDATE: please see the reports on the high voltage battery, AC and instruments

Instruments -
Looking into a speaker fault for the E sound, difficult one as currently not present. UPDATE: I am replacing the front speaker for the engine sound due to it faulting twice

Operate External lights
There is a coding update to rectify the inverted message problem, I will complete this during the other repairs
HI , how was the issue with the electrical error solved.

stupid bugs i can put up with. annoying like my old macan parking sensors going off whenever a ford drove by was tolerable. but battery failures and dead cars not so much. i know the rate is probably low, but if it happens to you its a terrible experience.
was it only when a Ford drove by ? as in Porsche being anti-Ford ? lol
just kidding of course :cool:
