i have been watching this website for awhile. i bought a 2020 tacyan 4S and drove it for 2 months. Loved the car but like many i have had issues.
2 main ones.
-motor (forward movement) failure twice. both times at low speed and no accidents. I was able to turn off the car and w/ several attempts able to restart and drove away without issue.
-EA charging problems. My home unit no problems, none. Every time i take it to EA (Local and once away) it times out after 5 min on 350 Kw unit. I have spoken w/ EA service, no errors come up other than the charging stopped.
So finally i took it in to my local Porsche dealership, 9 days later they gave me the terrible news, high voltage battery issues. It needs replacement of the entire high voltage battery. Service coordinator stated that it needs to come from Germany and then installation by the dealership. They were unsure how long it would take to order and ship here. After i regained consciousness (haha) i asked how many have they done, one. I guess its better than none.
The more i have thought about it, I am thinking of having Porsche keep the car and exchange it for another. The repair sounds way to extensive for me to feel comfortable that this car is back to original spec. Never mind that having a dealership do something that sounds extremely difficult.
Wondering if there any thoughts or anyone heard of something similar
