Several errors at startup clear after 5 minute shutdown, anyone else?

I know at least one other forum member has experienced seeing a series of error messages at start up (and the car won’t start):
- Engine control error, park vehicle safely
- Please charge battery
- Charging not possible, visit workshop
- High voltage system error, service required
- Charging not possible, visit workshop

After locking the car and waiting a few minutes, we can restart the car with no problems.

Obviously, these messages are spurious given they disappear after a 5 minute shutdown. It’s some software bug, not mechanical catastrophe.

Has anyone else besides Yves and I experienced this? If so, do you just live with it until such time that Porsche issues a patch? Or are you scared to take it on long trips?

I had 3 “false” warnings in the first 500 km:
  • Main battery error
  • Front headlight lamp error
  • Car too low.
Both vanished after a close / wait 5 minutes / reopen cycle.
Since then no other error (and I’m at 6600 km).
