    I guess my PCM missed home?

    The problem for Taycans is not missing translation for some words because sometimes in the same car it shows in the correct language or other Taycans display the correct language. Read again the TSB I shared earlier in this thread, Porsche themselves say it is an issue with loading the language...

    I guess my PCM missed home?

    Certainly poor coding. There is so many ways to pick a better default language. One would be to choose the Nav Maps local, or maybe use GPS location. If you see the PCM versions it says "North America", so why would you default to German for NA? But I think it is not hard to get the user...

    A/C deactivated in Sport Plus Mode

    The car's A/C system is shared between the cabin climate control and the battery cooling. My speculation is that the exterior temperature is high and the system cannot keep up with both, so when you use Sport+ it chooses to cool only the battery.

    I guess my PCM missed home?

    I don't know what is worst, the bug itself, the fact that they know about it and they do not (maybe cannot) fix it, or the fact they consider it normal... I have had dozens of Windows computers, Macs, Phones, TVs and other devices in a foreign language, and neither had this issue. How hard is to...

    I guess my PCM missed home?

    There is a TSB (dated April 5 2021) about the issue. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10191717-0001.pdf Copying from the TSB: Title: "Y1A Taycan PCM Displays German Language Unexpectedly" Technical Background The PCM tries to load text for all applications when the vehicle network...

    Scared to ask... anyone tempted by Model S Plaid?

    That's exactly why I leased my Taycan so I can move on if there is a better EV on the market in 2023 for the same money (maybe Plaid) or a cheaper one that offers similar performance and handling as the Taycan for less coing (maybe BMW i4 m50 or e-tron gt). If Taycan i still the best I can...

    UPDATE4: NHTSA Investigation interview -- WMA5 update removed Innodrive on 2020 4S. Later, engine dies on way to getting it fixed.

    UPDATE4: NHTSA Investigation interview -- WMA5 update removed Innodrive on 2020 4S. Later, engine dies on way to getting it fixed.

    It is actually 34 (25 for 2020 + 9 for 2021, and 1 more not related to power loss). Their site has a caching bug and it shows the previous day's number on the top card but if you scroll down you see the correct number.

    Successful Plug and Charge, despite Presence of 19.2kW On-board Charger

    You just got a free session which happens once in a while at EA when they have problems. You can see that the station reports a network issue. You also crossed the 30min free limit and you were not charged either, yet another proof. This was probably not plug and charge, it was just this station...

    UPDATE4: NHTSA Investigation interview -- WMA5 update removed Innodrive on 2020 4S. Later, engine dies on way to getting it fixed.

    There are two parameters: 1) If the issue was introduced by WMA5 update then only the cars that have the update will be susceptible to the bug so the total number will be drastically less than 6500, which means the % is way higher than 0.15%. It is unclear if and at what point WMA5 update picked...

    2020 Taycan Turbo vs. 2018 911 GT3. An Owner's Perspective

    Can you provide a rough estimate of how much it costs per year or per event like car maintenance (tires, breaks, oil changes etc), track insurance, any membership or participation fees, other costs?

    Peculiar Message from ChargePoint when Pressing the 'Stop' Button

    I believe (some of) their stations do not know when the cable is holstered back into the station so they can't detect idle (i.e. still physically attached to car but not charging). It is like the station has two states, charging and not not-charging but no idle. This is the same reason why...

    2020 Taycan Turbo vs. 2018 911 GT3. An Owner's Perspective

    I hope you don't mind me hijacking this thread with a GT3-related update. The 2022 manual GT3 is too loud for the new California regulations... whoever ordered a manual will be asked to switch to PDK. Probably Dave's neighbors filed many noise complaints ...

    Charging Port Impaired - "Left (or right) charging port impaired" error message

    It probably means that the sliding door position sensor has a problem.

    NHTSA investigating Taycan power loss issue

    Just fyi, the electric motor calibration seems to be a problem for a while. This is a TSB from April 2020 about it. It seems that the calibration issue can affect one motor alone. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10174593-0001.pdf Subject: High-voltage power electronics on front axle...

    103 Days to get HOV Sticker!

    3-4 months seems to be the typical wait time recently. More on this thread https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/california-carpool-stickers.3824/ Can you post some photos in that thread? I am curious to see how the dark blue sticker looks on the frozen blue.

    Keyed! - Advice on best way to remove scratch?

    I have tried to touch up minor scratches myself and they never looked good. It is harder than those sites/videos make you believe. But I agree with the last few members, you should try find a touchup specialist in some good body shop. They might be able to fix most of the problem for a fraction...

    Thinking of upgrading the 4S to a Turbo or Turbo S

    Can't your passenger use the main screen to control music and Nav so you can drop the passenger screen?

    Taycan 4S vs BMW i4 m50

    According to the US specs the 4S with the big battery is 4947 lbs. https://www.porsche.com/usa/models/taycan/taycan-models/taycan-4s/ I haven't found an official weight spec for the i5 M50. Where did you see that number? Shorter wheelbase corners better and it has a smaller turning radius...
