NHTSA has 2 owner complaints on file for the 2025 Porsche Taycan, and none mention a crash, a fire or an injury[1]. The same record lists 4 recalls, which are covered below[2].
Most reported problems
Owners reported two kinds of trouble, and the two groups overlap because one complaint can name several parts.
- Electrical System. 2 complaints[3]. Owners describe an error message and a sudden loss of power while driving on a busy road, in cars that were almost new. One owner coasted to the shoulder and could not restart the car.
- Power Train. 1 complaint[4]. In the stories we read, this is the same sudden power loss, where the car became unresponsive too quickly to steer into a safer lane.
Recalls
Newest first. Each recall covers only certain vehicles, so not every 2025 Taycan is necessarily included.

Fuel economy
EPA ratings depend on the engine and drive. Annual fuel cost uses EPA's current fuel price assumptions, not prices when the car was new.

Should you buy a used 2025 Taycan?
The complaint record for this model year is very small, with 2 complaints in total[1]. None of them report a crash, a fire or an injury[1]. The stories we read do describe a frightening loss of power, so that is worth taking seriously[3]. Recalls also exist for this year, so check the Recalls section before you decide[2]. Because the numbers are low and unverified, treat this as an early picture and not a final one.
