The part needed replacement, but there was no stock even in Germany, so the repair would take some time.<\/p>\n<p>No stock even in Germany\u2026 (\uff1b\uff9f\u0414\uff9f)!<\/p>\n<p>By the way, <strong>the onboard charger is like an \u201cAC adapter\u201d built into the car.<\/strong> It converts the alternating current (AC) from household outlets or AC chargers into direct current (DC) to charge the battery.<\/p>\n<p>I learned for the first time through this breakdown that the car carries this converter inside because the battery can\u2019t be charged directly from external AC power.<\/p>\n<p>I had assumed the battery itself was faulty, but it was actually a failure in the conversion and control system. (Honestly, I half-wished the battery itself needed replacement while still under warranty\u2026)<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"style3a\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Taycan_Returns_After_Three_Weeks\"><\/span>Taycan Returns After Three Weeks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>I braced myself for a long wait, but the repair was completed in about three weeks. They provided a loaner car during that time, so it wasn\u2019t too inconvenient.<\/p>\n<p>To be honest, though, since I had the charging system repaired last year as well, I felt a bit frustrated thinking, \u201cI don\u2019t want this to become an annual thing\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While driving the loaner, I even considered, <strong>\u201cMaybe it\u2019s time to switch to a different car.\u201d<\/strong> I browsed car listings, thinking about gasoline cars.<\/p>\n<p>But once you get used to the smooth initial response, ride comfort, and lightning-fast acceleration of an EV, it\u2019s hard to go back. I even daydreamed about a Taycan Turbo GT\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Then, when my Taycan finally returned after three weeks and I drove it again\u2026 it was just perfect!<\/p>\n<p>Smooth and seamless, stable, with sharp acceleration. <strong>This is it \u2014 this is the Taycan!<\/strong> I truly re-experienced its charm.<\/p>\n<p>The Taycan Turbo and Taycan GT are tempting, and I\u2019m sure they\u2019re amazing. But for me right now, this Taycan 4S is just right.<\/p>\n<p>It cruises comfortably, is fast enough, feels natural, and fits my family of five.<\/p>\n<p>Being away from it for three weeks made me appreciate it even more, and I genuinely want to keep driving this car for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, I bought this Taycan used \u2014 a 2023 model \u2014 and all the repair costs were fully covered under warranty. What a relief!<\/p>\n<p>Of course, frequent breakdowns are a hassle (especially unrelated to driving performance), but for now, this Taycan remains the best choice for me. When it comes time for the March vehicle inspection next year, I plan to extend the warranty and continue driving it hard and with care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Recently, my beloved Taycan (Taycan 4S Cross Turismo) broke down.
