I just contacted Porsche Customer Service and they told me that the replacement cables for the charger were available and my Porsche dealer could order me one. I went to Porsche Fresno and spoke to the service manager who said he had no information saying that these cables were available and if they were I would have gotten a letter from Porsche saying so. He also said that when they become available he will get an allocation of them. Please make Porsche Customer Service stop putting out misinformation! The original recall letter for this was dated January 22, 2023. Today is May 26, 2024. Porsche has had 490 days, or 70 weeks, to provide safe cables for these mobile chargers. This is not acceptable performance on the part of Porsche!

The 240V charger cable has a recall due to overheating and causing fires. I am now having to charge my car with a slower cable. In addition, I have also heard that the battery can have issues with water and leakage causing fires as well. I am concerned with fires by charging the car in my home, and the fact that this car was sold to me, and the charger cable has been known to have issues for years, only now getting a recall letter in Feb 2024.

While charging was in progress using Porsche's app at a charging station of Electrify America, the charging process suddenly stopped, when I switched from the app to an email app. And since the charging station displayed "Please unplug", I was unplugging a charging cable from a Taycan's charging port, then there was an explosion at the port with an ear-splitting bang and a large spark. The car dashboard then displayed "Electrical system error" and was totally unmovable, so it was towed to a dealer on 6/18/2022. The dealer contacted the manufacturer, but the car is still not repaired even though 40+ days have passed, which is unreasonable. I found the below article and suspect whether it's related with the "inexpensive onboard charger": - An excerpt from: https://www.teslarati.com/porsche-whistleblower-taycan-battery-charger-fires-coverup/ "Porsche uses an inexpensive onboard charger that does not control the process well, the whistleblower explained to me in detail. Fires have occurred in the Taycan battery, the source explained, due to the problem described."
