The SA says there is a TB about the hybrid charging system and they needed to do a full charge overnight to process the bulletin.
i though the TB was related to the mobile charger ? Is there any open TB about this someone can find?

When I went in about a month ago, the only open campaign was for the mobile charger, which they don't have a replacement yet. I even brought the old charger and the SA said he was mistaken telling me to bring it. Nothing to do until they can provide the new equipment.

Figured I’d post an update, after replacing the actuator (and the blown pass speaker), the car sprung the CEL on the drive home. The code was P33EF00 - A/C Not possible, charge state too low ; U13AE00 - Error in control unit for holding? management system.
The “TB” didn’t apply to my car so once they “charged it overnight” and began the TB they realized they have no TB to apply. So they cleared the code, put 50 miles on the car and gave it back.
As to the original code, P049FF00 - exhaust flap, electrical fault bank 2.
It make be a fluke, maybe they used some janky charger when they had the car (I only use hardwired Juicebox). CEL hasn’t come back so knock on wood it was this motor that has a defect.
Definitely wish I got the codes from the first few CELs but I guess only time will tell.

I have a 2024 E Hybrid S I just took delivery of. Had CEL come on three times so far. Have 302 miles, 168 electric. It was on for two days straight, then cleared itself at a grocery stop for 15 minutes. I haven't tried it today. Using Porsche Mobile Charger level 2 on it at night.
Other than the stupid CEL it is an amazing ride, 512 hp, but it puts a stupid grin on your face to get home from a 65 mile errands run and be at 67 mpg.

but the PMC+/PMCC are still a sucky EVSE that have problems beyond their nominal thermal operating temperature - alternative high quality 100% compatible EVSE's (PHEV/EV chargers) can be had for as little as $209 (deal alert until June 3rd)
Porsche's charging game is weak-sauce in North America and honestly there are way better products for your PHEV/EV
for those that care - Porsche's 240V charging cable itself is safe to use for 240V/40amp/9.6kW charging - but Porsche didn't anticipate the "interaction" problems with a $12 home-depot/lowes NEMA 14-50/6-50 cheap plastic NEMA power plug - repeated use of the Porsche EVSE with it's high nominal operating temperature can cause thermal stress in cheaper NEMA sockets common in North America and eventually cause them to fail - leading to melting, electrical shorts and generally bad-operational-optics - their unit has no problem operating with high-quality industrial ceramic NEMA sockets like the Hubble unit(s) they recommend in their tech bulletin - but the 240V cable is currently under recall but the replacement part(s) are only now trickling out into the real world - according to other forumes one customer who has received the replacement parts reports 8 AWG wire (an improvement over the previous 10 AWG wire, I would've personally preferred 6 gauge wire) and the reported addition of a thermal sensor (presumably so the unit can detect high operating temperatures and adjust it's operation to avoid thermal stress)
that being said I still prefer non-Porsche EVSE's - and since they are not vehicle/vendor specific - investment in a high quality non-Porsche EVSE is a multi-vehicle expense that will be used for many many years into the futrue for any PHEV/EV you happen to bring home today or tomorrow…
the Porsche EVSE units are irredeemable IMHO and should be ignored/replaced with better and more affordable alternatives.

Have you figured out why the check engine light keeps coming on? I have 4k miles and have been back to the dealership 4 times. The light comes on at various times and they said that it has to be the home charging unit I am using - ChargePoint. Which makes no sense because sometimes there is no issue. Also, when there was a recall on the Porsche chargers they said it was ok to use a third party charger. I’m just hoping someone has figured it out?
