Does yellow kill the 12v, or just red?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.
