Hi good morning Paul, yes the battery is here and they did finish putting it in the car late Friday. He still has some work to do with programming and getting it all up and going but it is a 2024 battery. Apparently those are still being used.

From my SA, probably pick up car Thursday

Car is home charged to 100% for tomorrow’s trip…. Showing 305 miles of range. We shall see how that works out on the trip. Will need to charge once each way so should baseline the capacity.

Got circle of death yesterday on my leased CPO 2020 Turbo (my first EV) and had it towed to dealer. Svc Mgr “thinks” it needs 6 new battery modules and said “If parts are available it honestly shouldnt too bad on timing.” Deliverying a Macan EV loaner today.
I love this car and the dealer has been fantastic to work with (I’ve bought other ICE vehicles from them in past).
You all have a lot of experience with Taycan battery issues, so any advice, helpful hints on what to look out for, specific requests (such as when to push for a total new battery), etc would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your help!

For a lease I wouldn’t care just let them do what’s fastest. If you plan to buy it push for a new battery as those other cells will fail. My shortest weight time for battery replacement was four months and my battery repair was five months long. Hopefullly it’s allot faster for you.

I would love to buy it, but will only do so if the battery is fully replaced. If anyone has gone through that process and/or negotiation, I'd love to hear what arguments have worked best and which arguments haven't worked as well as timing the request. For example, should I push now w/ the dealer to ask for a full battery replacement, or is that a futile argument at this point? Just not sure if 6 out of 33 modules is enough to push right now for a full replacement.

What about 2021 2022 2023 and 2024 cars...long wait. With all the risk associated.

I guess it's not just 2020s. I just found out my 2022 GTS needs 12 modules replaced and was given 6 to 8 weeks for the repair. I don't drive it in the winter anyway but I'm hoping it'll be ready before the spring comes. It was delivered in 2023 due to part shortages and port shut down at the time, and has 8k miles on it so far.

All batteries are bound to fail but the incidence rate in 2020 is several times higher than that of 21 22 23 24
