Would the problems ever result in a recall ?

I love my Taycan But a month of my six month ownership has had it back at the dealer with struggles seen on this forum with many of you facing similar issues

the technology in the car is quite faulty and the amount of people having problems is growing

what’s the end game here ?
Just suffer through or could they end up needing to recall cars ??

I sense your frustration and the frustration of other members. But if I’m correct, recalls are only for safety issues.

so they don’t get sued. ?

This is true in the US. I note, however, that repeated issues that make a car unusable trigger what are referred to as "lemon laws." These would require refunds or replacements, and if this is a widespread problem, manufacturers will have a separate incentive to fix them. If, for example, the 12V battery problem is as easy to trigger through foreseeable uses as people suggest, it could present a real problem for Porsche. A few people on the forum have had three failures already, which could trigger lemon law issues. Porsche are certainly aware of this, as were Tesla, Volvo, and others before with this same issue. A number of those manufacturers' cars were lemoned in the first two years of manufacture, and eventually it appears that they solved their 12v battery problems. Mandatory service campaigns followed.
