Yeah, this has gone on way too long. I'm in favor of lemoning it.
You have to admit, if they lemon law this, pay you back, ship it to Germany, and find a nicked wiring harness in a door panel from the tint install. Zee Germans will be cursing your name.

Yeah it needs to be lemoned on principle alone. And so the next poor fuck buying it one owner off lease knows there’s some bullshit with this car.

I’ll attempt to keep some tabs on the car once this is all said and done just for curiosity sake. My buddies off lease Nissan leaf ended up being shipped 1200 miles to the Canadian border from California … at appeared at a shitty 3rd tier dealer

Not out of the realm of possibility. I once had to replace the radar in the grill on a Taycan. That part updated and required a new control unit. That wouldn't talk to the PCM/Nav, so had to replace that. The PCM didn't talk to the Connect Control unit, so a new one went in too.

Turbo just means the same as a trim in Porsche-land in 2023, a synonym of 'EX-L'.

Yep, mixed this up somehow and thought we were talking about the IX. I would not consider Taycan ugly. I’m somewhat surprised at the level of depreciation but I guess that’s just all EVs, particularly luxo sedans, which follows history.Desertbreh wrote: ↑Thu Sep 28, 2023 12:13 amNo man Fled doesn't deal in poverty ass BMWs.

Update time:
The Floridian module that does “emergency communications” is coming in tomorrow.
No idea how or why or what the point is … but everything is according to schedule … now tomorrow afternoon the part won’t work… and they will have to wait until next Tuesday for Germany to respond and get yet another part.
I will actually create a concise single post with an entire timeline and all of the repair attempts/parts this weekend. It’ll serve as a reference point for myself and possible legal proceedings later.

To be fair, have you owned even one for a year+ though? I think this is where many of them will wind up at like 5-10 years old. Hence why a $225K Taycan is at $110K three years in.

No doubt wouldnt I own any ev outside of the i4 I have outside of 4/5 years old.
But that’s a separate issue all together and a bit apples to oranges. Long term reliability vs initial problem repairs

Telematics module didn’t fix whatever issue they were trying to fix.
Car is still broken.
No solution or roadmap for fixing provided.
I’m assuming they are reaching out to TSARA (Germany) and I won’t hear anything until late next week.
