Most common problems:

Overheating

Electric motors and their associated systems can overheat, especially if the vehicle is driven aggressively or in hot climates. This can lead to reduced performance and potential damage to components.

Battery degradation

Over time, the high-voltage battery in electric vehicles like the Taycan can degrade, leading to reduced range and performance.

Software issues

Electric vehicles rely heavily on software for managing power delivery, charging, and other functions. Software glitches can lead to various performance and operational issues.

Charging problems

Issues with charging stations, charging cables, or the vehicle's onboard charging system can cause difficulties in recharging the battery.

Electrical component failures

Electric vehicles have numerous electrical components that can fail, such as inverters, controllers, and sensors.

Cooling system failures

The cooling systems for the battery and electric motors are critical. Failure in these systems can lead to overheating and reduced efficiency.

Noise and vibration

Although electric motors are generally quieter than internal combustion engines, issues can still arise with noise and vibration, particularly from components like the drivetrain or suspension.

Regenerative braking issues

Problems with the regenerative braking system can lead to reduced efficiency and braking performance.

Range anxiety

Although not a mechanical problem, many drivers experience range anxiety, worrying about the vehicle's ability to cover long distances on a single charge.

Frequent software updates

While updates can fix issues, they can also introduce new problems or require the vehicle to be out of service temporarily.
