Sounds like the same issue everyone else has been seeing. Did you have the WMA5 update applied to your car recently? I believe it's the big one that requires you to take it in to the dealer and adds support for wireless Carplay.Lost all power and rolled to a stop. The cars been pretty good for 8000 miles with only minor niggles and then this. Switched off and on and drove home... strange

definitely seems to be related to that update. Hopefully that allows them to track it down quicklyYes, the ‘big’ update was done about a month ago, I have done about 600 miles since though with no problems to date. Yes you have to roll to a stop ( severe judder the last 5 metres or so, switched off and restarted fine
Mine was about 500 miles after the update.definitely seems to be related to that update. Hopefully that allows them to track it down quickly
Only once, then I immediately had them take the car and fix it. After two days, the tech told me the problem was fixed, so I don't have any reason to doubt him.Has it happened just the once, or more?. Drove another 200 miles today with no problem

I have just had the same message and problem today - while driving in Scotland by coincidence. I have completed 3000 miles and had the software update in late March after about 500 miles. The car has performed brilliantly in the Highlands and it was a shock when the same message popped up and I appeared to lose all drive power. Fortunately I was on a downhill section of the A9 and a parking layby appeared within about 300m so I rolled to a stop. Switched off, restarted and have had no problem since (over another 100 miles). The ambient temp was 23 degrees, battery temp 32 degrees, I was in Normal mode using Innodrive at the time (although it was passive) and I was behind a slow moving truck which may have deprived me of cooling. I had driven around 140 miles at average 55mph without a hit of an issue.Lost all power and rolled to a stop. The cars been pretty good for 8000 miles with only minor niggles and then this.

This is the first time I have heard of it happening while someone was using Innodrive, but I admit it was a situation I had thought about, because I plan to use ACC and possibly ALK for long drives. When you lost power, I assume you also lost all ACC/ALK functions? In that case, if you had not taken over the steering, would the steering wheel have reset to a default position (if it was turned at the time of power loss) and thus caused the car to just continue straight ahead? Quite dangerous if say you were in the middle of a turn at that moment.I have just had the same message and problem today - while driving in Scotland by coincidence.

I suspect it was a software fault and not a problem with the drive in fact - but it is pretty dangerous and very inconvenient if it were to prevent driving on. I will relay this to my Porsche dealer to see if they advise a checkup.
Not a comfort to many on this forum, but if this is the case that would imply that power loss will not be an issue for the RWD (expecting to pick up mine next weekend). Not seeing any incidents listed for RWD on the NHTSA yet either, but not sure how many are on the road in the US yet.So, went to the dealer to download the fault codes, there is a software update to fix this issue available . Something to do with calibration between the front and rear motors. Not fixed today but booked in for the software fix in a few weeks
