    Gesture Controls

    There are three dots that you pull down and the shortcut bar appears. You can only do that with the car in Park.

    Losing power issue

    If you got error messages then take your car back for service and demand for a loaner. You should also insist they fix the account issue too before you take your car back. You can find many threads about account issues in this forum, some have taken weeks to be resolved. Here is an example...

    NHTSA list of Taycan technical information documents with link to each document

    He even posted links to approved engine oils for Porsche engines ?which I know are posted on NHTSA for all Porsches but I would expect any Taycan owner who know that Taycan does not need engine oil and they wouldn't include those links.

    Charging NA app accuracy

    I have seen many data inconveniences. Sometimes it shows stations as available even if they show "unavailable on the screen" and EA has marked them for repair. Sometimes it shows a charger as available even though someone else is charging there. Sometimes when you initiate charging it says...

    Recall update refused!

    The same docs say dealer and customer notification will happen on Aug 27 so it is too early to get the update unless you experience the issue ?.

    Taycan software update - reported problems post update

    The Ford e-Mach GT might be a pleasant surprise. Ford as a brand does not have the appeal of Porsche but I am hearing good things about the car and I look fwd to test drive it. I am not sure if it is available in your country but if it is you should check it out.

    Recall update refused!

    I have mentioned it a couple of times before. The update does not show up as a campaign yet in their system BUT if you experienced the issue the update magically becomes available (Service Advisor cannot see it but the technician can). There is even a TSB about it...

    Porsche electric sport sound YES/NO?

    I don't have sport sound and you can still hear from inside the house that very distinct electrical sound from the motors when the car accelerates and brakes.

    PostPoned - date TBD - [4th Annual Taycan Social Drive] - where should we go? TBD

    The Mountain House was closed when I arrived and then I noticed it opens at 5pm so take it off the plan. Alice's restaurant is good but it might be too early for lunch depending on departure time. They also serve breakfast/brunch from 8am to 2pm. Lunching at Pescadero is a good option too.

    Porsche recalls 43K Taycan and Cross Turismo due to possible powertrain shutdown / loss of power

    I believe dealers are required to perform all open recalls before selling a car. Your car most likely will be updated before it is delivered to you. You can always ask the dealer about it. The update should show up in your car's service history. No, you cannot see the PE version.

    Porsche Certified Electrical Engineer

    My humble opinion is what they need is better logging in the car and better diagnostic tools/software. Many of us have experienced glitches that leave no error codes for the dealer to diagnose. If their diagnostic tools were better then the certified technician is enough to pull the logs and...

    UPDATE 7/16: Thoughts on First 72 Hours with my Brick

    This one sounds more like a persistent problem with the rear motor than the well discussed power loss software bug. Good luck!

    Porsche recalls 43K Taycan and Cross Turismo due to possible powertrain shutdown / loss of power

    I hope NHTSA gets to the bottom of the this because there are many unanswered questions: - Have they fully addressed the power loss issue or just one root cause of it? The recall seems to address the "Motor Control error" and "Engine Computer error" but probably not the "electrical error" which...
