  1. Project Purple - MY2026 Taycan CT4

    Oooh, yes please. I didn’t know that was a lever under your control (gear selection). I pretty much switch to sport every time, so I hit that hiccup a lot.
  2. Project Purple - MY2026 Taycan CT4

    What do you mean about the gearbox? I haven’t noticed anything for reverse. But when going into sport, I can sometimes feel a slight skip/lurch. I assumed a downshift? And yes, the power with MapEv is obscene. I have to be super careful on the pedal. It doesn’t take much more than a twitch of...
  3. Swapped J1.1 4S to J1.2 GTS - My Observations / Review

    I’m pretty sure that for J1.2 the only mode NOT customizable is Normal. And yes, I believe surround mode is locked to the screen while in reverse at all times (can’t dismiss).
  4. Cell phone booster, weboost, sure call, anyone tried them?

    Ah, it’s IP at post time based? My phone has private relay enabled, which I believe is effectively a VPN. Thanks!
  5. Cell phone booster, weboost, sure call, anyone tried them?

    I just noticed we all have flags in the upper right of our posts (as you mentioned Canada and there’s the maple leaf). This makes me wonder why mine is Japan?? I don’t remember setting that. And my profile says US (which is correct). And I don’t see where to change the flag…
  6. Cell phone booster, weboost, sure call, anyone tried them?

    Same problem. I begrudgingly pay for the hotspot, and connect to that (which works simultaneously with CarPlay, and there is a setting to enable phone over WiFi). This seems to work. Well, other than the fact that it can take a couple of minutes for the hotspot to turn on each time the car...
  7. How did you program your 🔹buttons?

    I think this is the 3rd I’ve seen of this combo (I was one of them…). Guessing you are a J1.2 with “active parking support”?
  8. How did you program your 🔹buttons?

    Now that I know other people have a surround camera button in the center I can see why it would be confusing I’d use up a custom button. Mine is parking assist (which when opened has a button to turn on the camera, but that’s 2 clicks).

    I match @SoccerMan94043 (prev track/parking camera) :like:
  10. Online radio/Apple Music & Podcast/Spotify not working - "To use this service, please register at MyPorsche"

    I just took my car in and the service tech called Porsche. This is a known outage without a current ETA that affects: Apple Music Apple Podcasts Radio Plus Spotify Wifi Hotspot You can confirm this on J1.2 by going to: Settings Privacy and Porsche Connect Overview of all Porsche Connect...
  11. Online radio/Apple Music & Podcast/Spotify not working - "To use this service, please register at MyPorsche"

    I missed this thread until now. I don’t know when exactly it started for me, but I see similar issues with the built-in Apple Music. But I’m also paying for the hot spot, which also is failing. But it’s not all of the internet/cellular services, as Google search in navigation works fine. I did...
  12. tCAN-PRO | Battery Statistics & Fleet Health

    I’d be more curious on J1.1 vs J1.2. But I’m guessing the sample size of J1.2 is pretty small (and not old enough yet).
  13. "Porsche’s EV Gamble: The Taycan Depreciation Crisis - Explained" - video

    Well, unless no one buys new...then the cycle breaks. Don't worry, I helped this round (kind of) by buying new. But I just checked and my mean/median length of car ownership is 7/6 years, so it will take a while before mine enters the used market.
  14. "Porsche’s EV Gamble: The Taycan Depreciation Crisis - Explained" - video

    That's $1300/mo (which would be the vaguely similar apples-to-apples if you had leased)? Sounds fine to me. All I keep seeing is how terribly Taycans depreciate, but you were within a rounding error of the industry average with a 43% residual (https://www.kbb.com/car-depreciation/).
