The car began decelerating and would not respond to pressing the accelerator pedal.  An exit was coming up so I managed to get onto that exit and roll through the stop sign at the bottom of the ramp so that I was half in and half off the shoulder.  The car wouldn't move forward or do anything other than continue with the air conditioning (thankfully).    I contacted Porsche through the Breakdown call button on the PCM and they arranged for a towing service to come get the car and take me to the nearby dealership (20 minutes away).  It took 3 hours for that to happen.  I contacted the dealership in the meantime to see whether they could get me a loaner car or even a ride home.  \"No\" on both.  After 90 minutes, the car turned itself off while we waited for that towing service and I turned it back on to be able to use the air conditioning.  It came back on and the message cleared.  I was tempted to try driving it to the dealership but I was in a relatively safe place and didn't know whether the car would become un-drivable again, this time perhaps with even a worse safety outcome.  I was fortunate that the car ceased to move forward right in line with an Interstate exit.  I don't know how bad things could have gotten if I had been in a more precarious place.  It might well have stopped right on the highway with no shoulder, a sharp turn, or a bridge leaving me no place to go.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2021","productMake":"PORSCHE","productModel":"TAYCAN","manufacturer":"Porsche Cars North America, Inc."}]}]}
