NHTSA Complaint #11695366 — 2025 PORSCHE TAYCAN

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.
