Porsche Taycan Lemon Law

Yes. The Song-Beverly Act covers all components included under the manufacturer's express warranty, and Porsche's Taycan battery warranty covers 8 years or 100,000 miles with a minimum 70% capacity guarantee. A battery defect that causes sudden charge drops or range loss substantially impairs the vehicle's use and value. Each dealer visit for the same battery issue counts as a repair attempt.

After two or more unsuccessful repair attempts for the same substantial defect, California's Song-Beverly Act creates a rebuttable presumption that the vehicle is a lemon. A grinding transmission is clearly a defect that impairs both safety and use. You should consult a lemon law attorney who can send a formal demand to Porsche Cars North America for a repurchase or replacement.

The Song-Beverly Act protects California residents regardless of where the vehicle was purchased, as long as the vehicle is primarily used and registered in California. Your Porsche Taycan's factory warranty is honored nationwide, and any California Porsche dealer is obligated to perform warranty repairs. All repair attempts at authorized dealers in any state count toward your lemon law claim.

No. Under the Song-Beverly Act, the choice between a replacement vehicle and a refund belongs entirely to the consumer. If you prefer a full refund of the purchase price, all finance charges, registration fees, and incidental costs, Porsche cannot force you to accept a replacement. The refund is reduced only by a mileage offset calculated from the first repair attempt.
