The car suffered a critical electrical failure which resulted in the car abruptly losing power when driving at a speed of about 30 mph. The speed at which the car became unresponsive was so rapid that the car could not even be maneuvered from the middle lane into the right most lane for safety. The cars digital display system indicated nothing except that the hazards were on (after I had attempted to turn them on) and a red box with two cog wheels inside of it. In reality, the hazard lights were NOT on externally as was evidenced by a number of vehicles stopping to tell me to turn on my hazards. Additionally the car would not respond to any commands whatsoever. The car would not go in to park or drive and could not be powered on/off. The brake pedal was able to be pushed to the floor. The doors which have an electronic assist system were difficult to open because the whole electrical system was in a failure state. The car had to be towed to a Porsche dealership.

20251024ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

This is a brand new electrical vehicle (2025), with just under 1000 miles on it. I was driving on a medium-speed highway when an electrical system error message appeared suddenly and the car lost the ability to accelerate. I coasted into the shoulder, shut it off, and unsuccessfully tried restarting it a few times before it came back on without the error message and allowed me to drive a few more miles. About 5 minutes later, the same thing happened--the same message appeared and it suddenly stopped accelerating. I coasted for a short distance but was only able to get partially out of the road. The car had to be towed. Porsche identified problem with one of the battery cells, and estimated 3 weeks for repair.
