i am wondering if any other taycan drivers have experienced this. our 2020 4s will abruptly shut down while driving.

it seems to happen only during left turns and most concerning mid turn with oncoming traffic heading my way. getting it restarted takes a moment and requires the start/stol button.

hard to replicate and the dealer cannot find even a fault code.

That sounds like a loose connection somewhere. I can understand that there wouldn’t be a fault code if the car thinks you’ve pressed the power button to switch it off. Obviously that’s pretty serious. I’d be parking that at the dealer until they’d sorted it.

yes. something is tugging on something and shorting or breaking a connection in something... something. i mean likely just the power button. who knows. but, that needs immediate rectification.

that was so nuts to read that in present tense, like, 'our car does this on the regular'. no. nonono.
