When +you replace the battery, go back to the car, the message you get in +the car is "battery low, please replace battery". + +The first though one has is, "Wait, what, did I just add the old +battery again?" and "Ohh, did I throw away the new battery?". + +So replacing the battery the first time makes you replace it at least +twice, because when you go back to the car again, the messages +persists. + +So what happened?

The Porsche Taycan just +needs a few days (!) until it recognises that the battery in the key +has been replaced.
