Delayed at the Port for a month

[LovinTaycan]

The tech bulletin, discussions with my dealer, etc. The charger works fine. The problem is with the plug and charge feature which is for DC charging that Porsche does not have a solution for. The hold I believe is related to an inverter issue, but I haven’t been following that one closely.

I get this, but what you are saying does not make sense to me because I don't think Porsche is just going to ignore the fact that the plug and charge does not work. For me, I would love for them to ignore it, because I am not going to charge on the road, only at home.

Why do you think they are going to ignore this plug and charge issue.

Do you think my hold is an inverter issue. That would not be good because the new inverters appear to not be coming until April, according to others.

The problem is with a digital certificate that is stored on hardware either on the 19.2kW charger or a related device and apparently Porsche has no way to remotely fix it. It’s not uncommon to place digital certificates on devices that are immutable for security reasons, but when you do that you better get it right. They didn’t.

Exactly, I have read all of this and to me, this says they are removing the 19.2 kW option, not the plug and charge.

They're going to ignore the plug and charge problem. For people who bought the 19.2kW option, they'll provide some sort of compensation. And they won't offer it on any new orders. They aren't holding shipment over it, because they aren't going to fix it.

They removed the 19.2kW option because it broke Plug and Charge, a standard capability. They deployed a defective device, can’t remotely fix it, and are not planning to do a hardware swap (at least that’s indication thus far.)

Anyone have an update on this? I don't have the 19.2kW option and the time in port (Jacksonville)
suddenly jumped a week.
