This is interesting. I never considered that the corrupt 19.2 kW charger could kill standard charging mechanics. I figured it was just a Plug and Charge thing.I believe that the affected cars have the 19.2 kw onboard charger, the one that limits the plug and charge features, and that there is some sort of software bug that causes the car not to complete the handshake with the EA charger, and are not caused by user error.
As an aside, all EA chargers have a verbose "debug mode." When it's on, you can see the exact function the charger is trying to perform during the handshake negotiations when the failure occurs. Unfortunately, every charger I've found in debug mode has been one of my successful charges so can't comment further on where the breakdown is occurring. I'm also not sure how to put the charger into debug mode if I wanted to. It's probably an employees-only kind of deal and sometimes they forget to turn it off.I have had my car inspected, data shipped to germany, at least that is what the dealership claimed, and there was no flaw found and no fix made. I will continue to repeat having the flaws, documenting them better when they happen and then I will take the necessary measures with porsche.
