I have posted the issues with my Taycan here: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/stranded-by-electrical-system-failure.9320/
I am starting another thread because I would like some advice about asking for a full refund for this car under the Nevada "Lemon Law" (NV 597.600).
My entire Taycan experience has been very negative. First the car sat in my garage for 3 weeks because it was delivered with summer tires in January. One might have expected the sales rep to say - don't you want to select the all-season tires. No one helped with any of the configuration - including that. This forum was much more helpful.
Then after I finally get all-season tires on the car, it dies on my second round-trip to Carson City. They don't even look at the car for 3 days, and now, 12 days in, they haven't even ordered parts. I mentioned the Lemon Law to the sales rep today and it seems to have raised my priority a bit (it was clearly close to zero before).
I am so unhappy at this point that if I could get a full refund, I'd take it and buy a different car.
My read of the law (https://www.leg.state.nv.us/nrs/nrs-597.html#NRS597Sec620) is that if the car is out of service for more than 30 days trying to correct the defect, they have to take it back.
Unfortunately there is this weasel language in the law:
They are at 12 days now. I'm sure if they run past 30 they will argue that delays in getting parts were out of their control. However, not looking at the car for 3 days and not ordering parts for 12 days were certainly within their control.
Has anyone on this forum had any experience with this?

except that if the necessary repairs cannot be made for reasons which are beyond the control of the manufacturer or its agent or authorized dealer, the number of days required to give rise to the presumption must be appropriately extended.
