So this morning Alarm goes off at 6am and I am locked out of the car. Vodafone call and tell me battery is dead and manage to stop the alarm. AA arrive a couple of hours later and get the car going and suggest I take it as a recovery to local OPC. Whilst at OPC I find out 6 recoveries arrived this morning, 5 Taycans and my 992. Might take a week before they even look at it! Booking from April for anything else so recovery was the way to go.
So I am without my pride and joy for god knows how long and have spent today looking online at the Battery issues on the 992, from what I can see could be a few things I just hope its not the battery as the lithiums are £750 (I asked) and warranty does not cover this. Mine is a 2019 Carrera S and is used a few times a week on local runs. Never had any issues since I bought it last May. OPC will call me with an update hopefully next week once they have fixed a million Taycans, there are software updates to be done as well apparently so let's see.
A couple of weeks ago I had Vodafone call me whilst I was out driving to tell me the tracker had alerted, I find this odd as I had the fob with me at the time , I am wondering if this might be a tracker / fob issue and not the battery. Has anyone had similar? Be good to know.
