Common Porsche Panamera s e-hybrid problems
The Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid has been praised for its impressive fuel economy, smooth ride, and luxurious features. However, some owners have reported common problems with this vehicle, including issues with the high voltage battery and the car's overall cost-effectiveness.
The high cost of replacing the high voltage battery is not the only issue that affects the car's cost-effectiveness. Some owners have reported that the car's overall maintenance and repair costs are high, making it less affordable for the masses. One owner noted that most Porsches, except for the 911 and garage queens, become expensive to repair and maintain, leading to their early demise. The owner also pointed out that the poorly designed hybrid system in the early Panamera hybrids causes early high voltage battery failure, which Porsche charges five times the cost of other brands, indicating planned obsolescence.
Another issue that affects the car's cost-effectiveness is its environmental impact. While the Panamera S E-Hybrid is marketed as a green car, its environmental impact is significant due to the early disposal of otherwise perfectly good cars. One owner noted that the greenest car is the one that already exists, as opposed to manufacturing, mining, and shipping to create a new one.
In summary, while the Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid is a luxurious and high-performance vehicle, it has some common problems that affect its cost-effectiveness and environmental impact. The high cost of replacing the high voltage battery and the overall high maintenance and repair costs make it less affordable for many people. Additionally, the early disposal of these cars due to battery failure and other issues contributes to their significant environmental impact.
