Porsche Taycan years to avoid (and the best years)

260 NHTSA owner complaints and 24 recalls across 4 model years, 2020 to 2023. Built from NHTSA owner complaints and recalls, generated October 26, 2026.

Which Porsche Taycan years should you avoid?

No Porsche Taycan model year stands out from the others in NHTSA owner complaints. The typical Porsche Taycan year has 74 complaints on file.

What are the best Porsche Taycan years?

The Porsche Taycan years with the fewest complaints on file are the 2023 (20), 2021 (70) and 2022 (79). Model years after 2023 are left out: they have not been on the road long enough to compare.

NHTSA does not publish sales figures, so these are complaint counts, not a rate per car on the road. A year that sold more cars collects more complaints, and older years have had longer to collect them.
