Owner complaint summary

I was driving on high 495 in MA at approximately 05:00 in the far left lane at ~75MPH. The car had a sudden loss of power. There was zero propulsion. I had to quickly cross 3 lanes on the highway to the far right side; I was not able to pull off to the left because there was no breakdown lane. Once I came to a complete stop, I power-cycled the car and it resumed normal operations. I was able to keep driving with full power and no apparent residual effects. I did not take a picture, however this link shows the error message I received: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/motor-control-error-and-system-error.3114/
