I am not quite sure why, but all the cars I've ever worked on clear the fault memory in all the controllers when you remove the 12V.
It might be because the car should start from a "clean slate" when the power is taken off and back on.

But yeah, with the Taycan when you have a HVB error then it can't charge the 12V. The 12V is very low capacity (the starter batteries used in ICE cars are like 2-3x as big), and the car is full of high current consumers, so it goes flat in a few minutes...
They could have thought about it and store the BMS errors in non-volatile memory... but I guess they didn't.
Does yellow kill the 12v, or just red?

@Watchesandburgers sorry you’re going through these issues, hope you get your Taycan sooner rather than later. However I love the Mighty Fine plate! They used to give out a $100 GC with their personalized plate but I think they stopped.

.......looking at pic.

Assuming this chain aren't chasing Michelin Stars?
😁

If they are, they may need to add a few delicate coloured little petals with a pair of tweezers and 7 drops of strategically placed 'Jus' round the edge.

Actually it’s $150 and it’s still ongoing!
Holy smoked gouda, Batman! I had no idea. Unfortunately, I'm in Houston and there aren't any Mighty Fine locations here, but maybe a drive to Austin is in the cards... when I get my car back. 😢
