As much as we complain about the pcm, the pmcc, pmc+, etc, at least our steering wheel stay on.

Can you imagine driving home a brand new car and having the steering wheel come off in your hand? Or the pano roof just taking off? Yikes.

You use Park in the middle of a 3-point turn? How?

Anecdotal evidence aside, steering and stopping are the two system that should never fail; any other failure can arguably be mitigated with the former.

I did not “use” it. The car shifted into Park itself while I am in Drive.

Ah, please excuse my poor reading comprehension, it was indeed “to Park from Drive”. That’s hardly comparable with the steering wheel coming off?

holy crap. im sure its just a freak defect instead of some widespread tesla flaw. a Tesla owner would just clap back "at least i have a working heater" and Taycan owners would be silent.

It probably is; the point isn’t how widespread this defect is, but rather how something so essential escaped QC, pre-delivery inspection and so on. A secondary point is false analogies by thin-skinned forum members. 🤷🏻‍♂️

This happened in traffic light traffic to me…a 2022 Taycan Base. It was unnerving. That said, I cited several similar incidents and they parked my car for about two weeks…made an adjustment(s) and it has never happened again. When I mentioned the NTSB complaints, they took notice immediately.
