Its happened!! Car won't start

[Docta76]

Taycan CT 4S Nov 2021 4500 miles

Put car on overnight charge- woke up to see charge stopped at 27% overnight

Car switches on, no start though- that's won't go onto drive mode only Park and Neutral. Rest of systems (AC, doors, media etc) ok

Porsche assist sent out AA who expectedly couldn't figure out

Car going to dealership tmrw- I'm wondering how they're going to get a 3 tonne boulder out my driveway onto recovery truck

Cayman GTS 4.0 here I come :-D

If it will go into neutral, they’ll just winch it up onto a flatbed.

Damn. Sucks. I'm constantly scared of this kind of issue

Good luck. I hope it can be fixed soon. Any info on your charging habits and 22 or 11 kw on board charger?

3T - the world's heaviest Taycan!?

Is a pain and inconvenience for sure.

Did you try the other set of keys and Porsche Connect ID (random I know) or the AA a 12V battery disconnect and reconnect?

You have the 22kW AC charging option, don't you ??

I had exactly that, which happened while charging. Locked it up and the next day it was like nothing had happened. Put it back on charge - all good and no problems since (2-3 weeks).
Spoke to dealer service dept, they just said probably a glitch and it wasn't straight forward to diagnose what caused it from car logs (why?). Basically, don't worry about it unless it happens again was their view. I have the 22kw thingy.

As a slight aside, the dealer (PRG) in London said no courtesy cars available if you drive the car into service dept with a problem. But you do get one (a rental) if it comes in on a recovery truck...

Thanks for the comments

this am , the 12V was dead too ; they popped the frunk from the drivers footwell etc and jump started then put car into neutral and pushed it out - no drama as some comments here correctly stated . car now in dealership - they called to say they’re running diagnostics

yes I have 22W

This was the first time for this error / fault . No prior sentinel episodes.

I did try the other key and the App - no dice .

After the 12V died it all became pointless anyway

Probably not 3T apologies , I was stressed
AA arranged the replacement within 2 hours thru Enterprise .


waiting to hear

If its anything like mine – you'll be getting a new "Made in Mallow" unit.

Bummer!

Keen to learn the root cause when known.

Following, bad luck man.

Update from Porsche today . Apparently the on board charger has developed an internal fault and needs replaced - so being ordered from Germany will take rest of week with BH Fri etc . They said batteries are all fine but couldn’t explain why the 12 V died too as should have protected itself ? Anyway overall tad depressing . Only positive is dog is loving the Volvo EV as rear windows go down completely and he can hang out and leer at people like the M5

Go M5
