Mixed emotions first 30 days with a taycan
So, my first 30 days with the Porsche Taycan…
I absolutely love the car, and I don’t want to come across as overly negative, but it’s been a bit of a rough start.
In the first week, the heating stopped working completely, no warm air at all. Took it into Porsche, which to be fair was handled well. They fixed it under warranty in a couple of days and said everything checked out fine.
Then about 3–4 weeks in, I charged the car overnight, got in the next morning to head out, and was hit with an “Electrical system fault.” The car wouldn’t drive at all.
Had to get it towed back to Porsche, and now they’re saying it could need a 12V battery replacement and possibly work on the main battery cells too… with a 6–8 week lead time 🤦🏼♂️
Has anyone else had a similar experience with these? Is this just bad luck, or are Taycans known for this kind of thing? Also makes me wonder if this is part of the reason they seem to depreciate so heavily.
