Hi all
My Taycan MY23 didn't have much issues and this week-end it decided to throw the "Electric System error" and won't go in D mode anymore. It will only go to N or P.
My error message is in Yellow. It happened while charging at home (battery at 48% SoC)
I know this forum is filled with the same error with 2 variants red and yellow. (BTW from what I've seen the yellow often gets fixed but just turning off the car for a while, but this is not my case)
From my side, I thought I would escape this as:
- I have a MY23 and I was hoping that Porsche would have figured out a solution by then
- I had the message a couple times (in Yellow as well) when my car was new, and when I shared that with the dealer they applied an update that was supposed to fix and I've never had again. However back then it was "a benign" error since I just had to switch off the car for a few minutes, and it will just go away.
I also noticed that the 12v battery voltage was at 12.9v which is the 1st time I see it at that level. Normally, it is around 13.4 V and goes up to 14.x V when driving. I don't know whether there is a link there
It is just sad, because I love this car but I am starting to loose confidence in it as this could have been a nightmare if it happened during a trip far from home.
The car is going to be towed to Porsche tomorrow. I will share what the issue was in case it helps others.

Update
- The 22kw onboard charger was the issue
- My car has been repaired in less than a week.
* they diagnosed the issue in less than 48 hours
* part received 48 hours after
* the repair done in 24 hours
- also during the same week they took the opportunity to do the recall for the brakes (replace the hoses and do the update). They also replaced the heater with a more robust one (also a recall)
- I also asked them to do the 2 years maintenance which costed less than expected because replacing the brake fluid was part of the recall
- on top Porsche Assistance was very efficient and found me a cayenne for the duration of the repair
Overall I am very happy. Repair was quick and in parallel they did a lot of stuff so it wasn’t a waste of time.
