While driving normally on a highway, the car suddenly reported "Electrical System Error, Stop vehicle in a safe place", which is followed by a complete loss of power, even pressed on acceleration pedal. I immediately pulled over to the side of the highway, the car slowed down quickly and stopped. The car was unable to restart ever since. After 1-2 hours, the vehicle's power was completely lost.

The safety risk of having the car-€™s motor completely lose power on the road/highway is high, as you are then left powerless. We have not reproduced this issue ourselves. Our local Porsche dealer has looked at it and said it was a -€œone off-€ type of malfunction and could not find any issue with the car when we brought it in. The car shut off while driving and gave a -€œMotor control error.-€ The car-€™s interior electronics stayed on, but the car had no drive power at all. There were no warning signs or problems prior to this issue occurring

While driving at approximately 40mph, a red message suddenly appeared in the dashboard saying -€œEngine Control Error- Park vehicle in a Safe Place-€. Simultaneously, the car became unresponsive - for example, pressing the gas pedal had no effect. I was able to brake and drift to the side of the road, but the car kind of bumpily ground to halt, feeling almost as if I had a flat tire (which I did not). Once I shut off the car and restarted, it ran again but had that issue occurred at a high speed or on a busier roadway, a serious accident was possible. I just recently had the car serviced to do a major upgrade the software and have seen others posting in forums about this serious issue. I never had this issue prior to the software update and have driven the car over 5000 miles.

My car on two separate occasions lost power and took several seconds to recover while fighting it. It would suddenly state "Drive Attention Required" and seemed to hit the brakes hard and ignore my inputs. This occurred twice within a week roughly 3 weeks ago. This could have easily caused an accident as the car begins to slow quickly. The issue was not reproduced by the dealer and they claim it was related to a faulty software update (but they never reproduced or had any diagnostics on the issue so I'm not sure how they could claim that). It has not happened after the third reinstall of the software update but it also didn't happen except those two times when the software was apparently faulty so I still believe it could happen at any time. When the software was in a faulty state (which was common with the update and many had the same issues) the car's self driving tech was also semi functional and easy to have the car drive itself without knowing. The car would say "Driver's assistance inactive on the screen" but then drive itself at some unknown speed. I have a video of this. This is super dangerous.

While driving in a particularly curved section of highway 1 the vehicle lost all power and control. I had to wrestle the vehicle to the side of the road and narrowly avoided a cliff face off into the ocean. My entire family was in the car and could have been killed. This was after Porsche was unable to fix safety systems like my active cruise control and lane keep assist which were bugging out and trying to take over control of the car. I towed it to Porsche who attempted to address the problem and claimed it was fixed with a patch. There is no way to validate the work. Porsche did not communicate during the issue and offered little in the way of resolution.

As I was coasting to a stop at a stoplight the car shuddered and lost all power from the engine. I was able to stop the car and a red warning on the dashboard said 'drive system control fault, park vehicle safely'. I've heard from a number of other Taycan owners and they have had the same problem while driving, in some cases on the freeway and had to stop in the left hand lane. I believe this fault is very dangerous and serious. I am very concerned this could happen to me while driving at speed, and could result in an accident and/or injury to me or others. The car did reset after I turned it off and restarted, and I did not have a problem for the rest of the day. The car is currently at the dealer.

On two different occasions the car had catastrophic failures due to the 12 V battery draining for no reason. And one occasion the car had a catastrophic failure due to the main battery system having a failure. All of this happened in the first four months of ownership. All times the vehicle with stationary.

While driving, car began to shake abruptly and stopped itself. Dash flashed motor control error in red and the system control error and was complete unresponsive and undriveable. Car was towed to Porsche and they have no answers after 3 days. This was very dangerous, as the car slammed on the breaks and stopped in the middle of the road. Had it been a highway, I could have been hit.
