On two separate occasions, this vehicle completely lost all electrical power unexpectedly while driving. I pulled over and attempted to restart car with no response. After approximately1-2 minutes, the car spontaneously regained electrical power. One other occasion, the car was fully charged, but was unable to even be accessed (open doors ) The car had to be towed by Porsche dealer for some software update as it had absolutely no power. The car had to be mechanically opened in order to tow.

I was driving on high 495 in MA at approximately 05:00 in the far left lane at ~75MPH. The car had a sudden loss of power. There was zero propulsion. I had to quickly cross 3 lanes on the highway to the far right side; I was not able to pull off to the left because there was no breakdown lane. Once I came to a complete stop, I power-cycled the car and it resumed normal operations. I was able to keep driving with full power and no apparent residual effects. I did not take a picture, however this link shows the error message I received: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/motor-control-error-and-system-error.3114/

While driving i experienced a sudden loss of power, I was traveling on an interstate going approximately 75 mph when the car suddenly and without warning came to a sudden stop by itself causing multiple cars to swerve and endangering myself and multiple other drivers. The car restarted shortly afterwards however I was at a complete stop in the middle of traffic, I then experienced this problem yet again, this time I was going slowly; however, I was in the middle of an intersection and had to once again restart the car after it experienced a sudden loss of power and stopped itself.

I was driving at a low speed and the car suddenly stop and couldn-??t move. The front screen of the car said engine failure error. It was like when you drive shifter cars and you do not press the clutch the car power out. I need to turn off the car and restarted. The car continue to work properly. I also notice that my car have been having charging issues. I do not know if this is related to the engine issue. Please fill free to contact me for further investigation.

The day after receiving my Taycan 4S I took it for a drive and during the drive electrical system error popped up on the dashboard. Before we were able to pull over off the highway the car suddenly shut off and came to an instant stop. Being stuck in the middle right of the highway without even hazard lights working meant multiple cars had to swerve out of the way to avoid hitting us. I am not exaggerating when I say we could have died. Porsche road side assistance was horrible and unable to assist us in the moment. So the police were able to come after some time to block off the road and wait until a tow truck came. I had to pay for the tow to take us to the dealership in Manhattan (which was closed). Porsche road side service told us there was nothing they could do. Finally with the help of our sales rep they sent another tow service to take it to a yard.
