IX-Lemon Life.

[MrH42]

Yeah, this has gone on way too long. I'm in favor of lemoning it.

You have to admit, if they lemon law this, pay you back, ship it to Germany, and find a nicked wiring harness in a door panel from the tint install. Zee Germans will be cursing your name.

[max225]

This is all fascinating to me.

On the plus side, Germany is now aware of it and enormously confused and interested. On the minus side the car has been in the service bay twice as long as you had it on the actual road.

I had the car for 12 days. And it’s been in service for 48 out of a total of 60 days. Pure Ultimate Service Machine

If something that minute can put them in this much of a pickle shame on them for designing it that way.

Would be quite epic indeed. But you would think their numerous “sensor” tests which they have done at least 2x by their own accounts would have discovered that.

Yeah it needs to be lemoned on principle alone. And so the next poor fuck buying it one owner off lease knows there’s some bullshit with this car.

I’ll attempt to keep some tabs on the car once this is all said and done just for curiosity sake. My buddies off lease Nissan leaf ended up being shipped 1200 miles to the Canadian border from California … at appeared at a shitty 3rd tier dealer

[max225]

It’s in Canada (buddies leaf he turned in July)

Not out of the realm of possibility. I once had to replace the radar in the grill on a Taycan. That part updated and required a new control unit. That wouldn't talk to the PCM/Nav, so had to replace that. The PCM didn't talk to the Connect Control unit, so a new one went in too.

$15 sensor in the grille totals the car.

$5800 radar. $2100 control unit. $6500 PCM and $1500 connect unit. Plus labor.

Being stylish has a heavy price.

[D Griff]

That sounds like a turbo s. Not looking to light 6 figures on fire. Looking at 4S or 4. They are 120-140 msrp new or about 95ish used

A turbo EV. Hm.

Turbo just means the same as a trim in Porsche-land in 2023, a synonym of 'EX-L'.

It's uggo Even the guy here who leased it admits that.

Why I never played in the Porsche arena. VW was bad enough

No man Fled doesn't deal in poverty ass BMWs. He's talking about a PORSHA!

Yep, mixed this up somehow and thought we were talking about the IX. I would not consider Taycan ugly. I’m somewhat surprised at the level of depreciation but I guess that’s just all EVs, particularly luxo sedans, which follows history.

Update time:
The Floridian module that does “emergency communications” is coming in tomorrow.

No idea how or why or what the point is … but everything is according to schedule … now tomorrow afternoon the part won’t work… and they will have to wait until next Tuesday for Germany to respond and get yet another part.

I will actually create a concise single post with an entire timeline and all of the repair attempts/parts this weekend. It’ll serve as a reference point for myself and possible legal proceedings later.

My Mk7 was never out of commission this long before the buyback. I guess this is the future with EV's.

Nah this is a bmw service issue.
This is my 4th ev… never had this type of problem before.

To be fair, have you owned even one for a year+ though? I think this is where many of them will wind up at like 5-10 years old. Hence why a $225K Taycan is at $110K three years in.

No doubt wouldnt I own any ev outside of the i4 I have outside of 4/5 years old.

But that’s a separate issue all together and a bit apples to oranges. Long term reliability vs initial problem repairs

[razr390]

ok so what happened to the i4? or do you have both i4 and iX?

I am confusion

I have the i4. That’s my commuter car. The IX was supposed to be the family car

[max225]

Telematics module didn’t fix whatever issue they were trying to fix.

Car is still broken.

No solution or roadmap for fixing provided.



I’m assuming they are reaching out to TSARA (Germany) and I won’t hear anything until late next week.

Right on schedule.
