My 2022 Taycan is a few weeks old 225 miles on it. Last night I was driving home from an event. I had 106 miles charge left. After a stop sign, upon acceleration the car the car repeatedly lurched forward, then lost power, never reaching more than 8-12 mph. The turtle symbol flashed briefly.Then it started to behave normally again. I continued to drive.
About 15 minutes later, while driving up the hill toward home the car started losing power. Turtle symbol came on repeatedly in the dash. Even though I pressed down half way on the accelerator I couldn't get it to go more than 2-5mph. I just kept losing power. With each press it went slower. I powered the car down, I waited 30 seconds and then powered back on. It started to behave normally again. I'm ? Earlier, I noticed a couple of times as I was decelerating for a stop sign, the car would suddenly speed up slightly. I thought it was something I must have done, but now I'm not so sure! She's been gargarged, babied, only charged at home. The dealer recommended I have it towed in today... ? I have been so over the moon with this car that every morning I run down to our garage and think, "OMG she's still there - I wasn't dreaming. " Feeling so depressed today... any insights?

I understand how you’re feeling but you should relax and bring it into the dealership so they can check it out. A similar thing happened to mine once and never happened again in 5000 miles.

Heart broken for you and hopefully it’s something transient/addressable. I, like many in this forum, understand the passion for your vehicle. I too even after 5.5 months still intermittently open the door to my garage just to look at it.
