All was well until at 1700 miles got an “Electrical system error SERVICE REQUIRED”. Car won’t move.
To add insult to injury roaside assistance is no help. On hold more than 30 mins. Called dealer told me to call roadside assistance to get it towed in.
Will post the resolution to the story but at this point not good

damn that sucks .. it's making me nervous with my pending delivery and ~1k mile road trip after delivery with my Taycan back home

 

[RunPorsche]

Well that’s serendipitous!

Hi - curious on what the diagnosis was (if you have one yet)? Thx.

The car works. After keeping it for 48 hours they offered no explanation other than there were several error codes reported and the reset the software. I am suspecting some type of software bug. Hopefully this does not become an issue as Porsche is not a software company.

at the very least let's us hope that Porsche is taking notes of these issues and translates those and remedies across its Taycan fleet so future/current owners won't have the problem you did.

Yes, lets hope so.
I understand the risks associated with being an earlier adopter. It’s a truly amazing vehicle that will only progress in the years to come

Did the error message pop up while you were on the move or when you started it up?

You have to replace the entire battery? Did they tell you what the problem was?

 

[fangfangmike]

i just posted in another thread and i will just copy and paste it here..."what the Services Dept Mgr told me is that they entered all info in the system and repairs it under the instruction from German Techs... my tesla x was once drained in about 3 months without being used or charged and i have to replace the 15v battery too... tesla drains battery fast in a speed of 5 miles a day, especially in cold weather."

 

[fangfangmike]

They just told me it is a mystery.

They just told me it is a mystery.

I'm sorry to hear that man, that's crazy. Hopefully there isn't any delays getting it fixed.

This is the same thing that happened to me after 200 miles only had the car for 24 hours and the dealer put most the miles on it . Porsche is blaming it on the charging station

What are they saying happened with the charging station?

 

[Rocksport2020]

It’s not the charging station
It is something between the batteries
Still not working , 10 days no car

These posts regarding crappy Porsche Software are very alarming. We take delivery this week of a 4S, and we sure don’t have time to be running back-and-forth to the dealer, while everyone scratches their heads about mysterious software problems on a brand-new $170,000+ car.

If we are all beta testers for these cars’ software, then Porsche should be paying us and not vice versa...

Based on that I should consider myself lucky mine arrived dead at dealer

My cars done 2000 miles and just received the Red Electrical System Fault Error. What causes this issue and what is the fix for this? They are towing my car to the nearest Porsche Garage next week.
