Safety & Tech

Common Problem

TL;DR
• Infotainment and Tech Issues: Poor camera quality and unreliable CarPlay connectivity. • Rattling Noises: Particularly around door panels and B pillars. • Battery Problems: Recurring issues with the 12V battery draining quickly.
Infotainment and Technology Issues
One of the recurring complaints about the 2021 Porsche Taycan is related to its infotainment system and technology features. Many users have reported dissatisfaction with the camera quality, describing it as subpar compared to competitors like Tesla. Additionally, there are issues with CarPlay connectivity, where the system fails to recognize phones via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth intermittently. Some users suggest that a software update might help, but this requires visiting an authorized dealer.
Rattling Noises
Several owners have experienced rattling noises in their Taycans, particularly around the door panels and B pillars. These issues seem to become more prevalent after some mileage has been put on the car. While some have had success getting these fixed at dealerships, others report ongoing problems despite multiple service visits.
Battery Problems
A significant issue for some Taycan owners is the 12V battery draining quickly, even when the car is not in use. This problem seems to be known to Porsche, and some vehicles have been part of a recall to address it. However, not all owners have found a resolution, and some have had to replace the battery at their own expense. It's recommended to ensure any potential purchase is covered under warranty to avoid such costly repairs.
General Advice
For those considering purchasing a used Taycan, it's advisable to have the vehicle assessed by a local Porsche dealership to identify any existing issues. Given the tech-related challenges, it's also wise to keep software updated and maintain regular contact with authorized dealers for potential fixes.
