There are 28 bolts that attach the battery tray to the chassis. That would take even the laziest tech a short time to remove with an impact gun. After bolts are removed the tray w/battery lowers and is replaced, connectors reattached and bolted back in. It takes longer to change the oil on my GT3.

Yes, unfortunately...

My 2 Yr Old Taycan Turbo S died in the driveway (after simply backing it out of the garage) with the dreaded "Electrical System Error" (Red).

The car has been in the shop now for over a week and it has just been determined that it needs a whole new main battery pack (which must be shipped in from Germany). Based on folks who have reported similar issues, I'm expecting the car to be in the shop for 30 days or more...

I'm on my 5th EV and never had ***ANY*** battery issues with my Tesla (MX), BMW's (i8, IXM60), or Chevy (Volt). We all know about the issues with the 12V battery that required replacement, but it also appears the main battery has its own problems...

That sucks, hope you get your car back soon. What year is your Taycan? 2020 or 2021?

 

First Year, 2020

 

no worse than my wife's new Boxster S transmission that was replaced 1st year of ownership - battery has 8 year, 100,000 mile warranty.

good luck - I'd love a new battery at this point in my ownership cycle.

 

Totally, this sounds like a win... despite the inconvenience.
