My husband called the Porsche dealership in Grapevine TX today. He spoke to a Porsche master technician who said he has seen this problem twice. It has to do with the reserve battery & Porsche has issued a fix regarding this problem. Don’t know whether your car is repaired or not but wanted to pass along this information hoping it might help you. FYI - My Taycan is getting a new high voltage power line (which I believe is a recall item). We were told that has nothing to do with motor control error.Today I noticed my car only charged to 211 miles after charging all night, when I usually get 258. When I start driving, the numbers started going up, one at a time. Then, after about 1/4 mile, the car slammed on the breaks and showed MotorControl error and System Error in red and something was clicking for about a minute in the back of the car. It was totally dead and I was stuck in the middle of the road. I turned it off and on and was able to go another 1/8 mile and it happened again.
it’s at dealership now. This car had a faulty strut the day I got it. I absolutely love the Taycan to drive, but this is scary. Has anyone else had these issues?
Thank you. I’ll give Marin Porsche this information. They’ve had my car for a week with no answers and no loaner.My husband called the Porsche dealership in Grapevine TX today.

I got my car back today. Replacing the high voltage power line (which is a recall issue) supposedly took care of problem. Fingers crossed. Good luck with your car.Thank you. I’ll give Marin Porsche this information. They’ve had my car for a week with no answers and no loaner.
this information is helpful.
They’ve had it 10 days with no loaner and no answers. Please let me know if this doesn’t fix the issue! Thanks!I got my car back today. Replacing the high voltage power line (which is a recall issue) supposedly took care of problem. Fingers crossed. Good luck with your car.
I can imagine this is frustrating and annoying. But I wouldn’t get worried just yet. This is a new car, not many techs have experience, and diagnostics may not be done at the dealer level. So it may take time. I know for a bunch of basic updates due to tool issues and having to check with Corporate it took 3 days.3 days and no answers. Scary.

They have had your car for 11 days with no loaner.. mmm time to start threatening the lemon law and raising this up to corporate.. its way too expensive of a car for this type of response.Thank you. It’s been 11 days now and no answers.
I agree. It makes me sad because I’ve never loved driving a car as much is this. But it sits dead at the dealership. Wonder if the 2021 is better. I assume they’ve improved some things.They have had your car for 11 days with no loaner.. mmm time to start threatening the lemon law and raising this up to corporate.. its way too expensive of a car for this type of response.
This. Even if they had your car for just 1 day they should get you a loaner. I don’t believe in paying a premium and they tell me that they don’t have a loaner for me. They can just rent a car to loan you. Basic customer service.They have had your car for 11 days with no loaner.. mmm time to start threatening the lemon law and raising this up to corporate.. its way too expensive of a car for this type of response.
Totally agree! Monday they’ll have the car 14 days and no loaner.This. Even if they had your car for just 1 day they should get you a loaner. I don’t believe in paying a premium and they tell me that they don’t have a loaner for me. They can just rent a car to loan you. Basic customer service.
I didn’t get a postcard. Interesting. My car came with a faulty strut, so it’s been in the shop a lot(because they told me there was nothing wrong with that loud banging sound when I went over bumps)I had gotten a postcard from Porsche a couple of months ago regarding recalls - one of them being high voltage line. Mine was replaced at dealership and supposedly should have remedied the motor control error message. Did you get a postcard about the recalls?
