A/C deactivated in Sport Plus Mode

[preeth]

Has anyone seen this message before: A/C deactivated in Sport Plus Mode to maintain driving performance.
I have always driven in Sport Plus Mode over the past 10 years and have never seen a message like this. I have had a Spyder before this and the Taycan since Sep last year. The charge levels were at 60% when i first saw this message. Charged it upto 85% and still get the same message.

The car's A/C system is shared between the cabin climate control and the battery cooling. My speculation is that the exterior temperature is high and the system cannot keep up with both, so when you use Sport+ it chooses to cool only the battery.

Yep, got it as well. Only 1 time.
Don't think I drove particularly spirited at the time, and don't think it was that warm. But I suppose a reasonable feature.

I have seen this as well but only once. Other times driving in Sport Plus I have not seen it. So I'm not sure what combination of events triggers that...

I started noticing it consistently over the last week corresponding with outside temperatures rising into the 90s. A first since I got the Taycan.
What temperatures did y’all have outside when you got the message.

I have had the feature (advised in the user‘s manual) in my three AMG’s wagons (S211, S212, and S213). They have the clutch on the A/C compressor act under heavy lead-foot loud pedal inputs to reduce load and increase power delivered in the sporty or race modes. So I presume it may trigger in the Taycan to increase performance when the A/C pump is needed to cool the batteries or just to improve acceleration.

Just had this happen today. The message came and went pretty quickly so I wasn't quite sure what it said exactly. I then noticed the cabin getting muggy. I cycled to normal and then sport mode and A/C recovered. I tried to repeat the issue in sport plus but couldn't trigger it again. A/C temp was set at 69F. Outside temp was 70ish. Car had been DC charged to 90% just 20 minutes prior. Car is a day old.

Similar to others, I have only seen it once. I have had the car for a little over a year and drove it through some 100+ degree days last year. I just saw the message about a week ago.

Wow! Just like the Starship Enterprise. You can divert power to propulsion, life support, shields, or weapons(?!). Of course, Sport Plus mode indicate priority on propulsion.

As Spock would note, "Interesting"

Reviving and old thread. I have been getting this message more frequently lately. I live in FL and its been very hot and humid. I always Drive in Sport Plus and it comes on maybe 3-4x a week. No rhyme or reason, but mostly in the peak heat of the day and sometimes early evening. Drives me crazy as I keep my AC at 60 in the car and I do not want it off (so I have to manually click the climate icon and the AC icon). Wish I could tell the car to never disable.

This happens to me a lot. Does manually Turing on the ac work? Or does it just get deactivated again?

 

[PDACPA]

Press the little thermometer on the PCM than hit the AC in the bottom of the PCM and it turns back on (lower screen shows the climate in blue) when you get the message and the AC stays on after. It could re-occur if I turn the car off and then start it again.

By design.

Taycan is not 10 years old...

I could not imagine continuously driving in sport+ mode. I guess my boy-racer days are behind me…sigh. ?

I am not a boy racer, but love having the car in its sportiest settings. I cannot imagine driving in any other mode (though 2x had to use range mode as my highway driving was using a little more of the electrons and afraid I would not make it home! lol
