I have had my Taycan Turbo since May 2020. Delivery was delayed by 3 months due to the initial lockdown in France. My car was probably one of the first cars to be delivered in France so very early production.
During the time I have owned the car it has had umpteen issues, most severe the loss of all driver assistance during a long road trip. Others have been mostly communication navigation and PCM issues. During my 19 months ownership it has spent about 9 weeks at the workshop. It has refused to communicate with their equipment and so was unable to initially perform all updates. Took many attempts and change of HW to achieve.
This morning t he car would not move with the dreaded Electrical Fault Red warning. I have had a lot of PCM issues the last couple of days as well, like no traffic info, no Online music, no Apple Music and no Connect services. Did not help to lock and wait 30 minutes for the fault to clear.
The result is a tow.
I had thought this issue was solved by the latest software updates, but clearly not so.
I think this is the final straw for me and have requested buy back. I do not trust this car any longer and my wife blankly refuses to use it and now even refuses to be a paasnger in it?
I am extremely disappointed with the quality and service from Porsche with this car. It is the fourth Porsche I have owned and never expected such bad reliability And so many issues.
