    I lost all power in the outside lane

    I agree with you and this together with their lack of transparent communication is very worrisome. Introducing a serious bugs is one thing but knowing about it and not recalling and fix the affected cars is even worst. It is unacceptable that owners have to dig into forums to find what software...

    Porsche Dashcam Installed - Review and Overview for US Taycan Owners

    I doubt this is the case. They already offer the dashcam stick product which records public spaces. I am not proposing any different functionality, just a better implementation that uses the existing cameras and does not require hardware installation.

    Sheeme150 just posted "The PAINS of Living with an EV! My WORST Experience Yet"

    I charge at EA every week and almost always one out of three stations is out of order. Usually that is not a problem but yesterday there was a Fiat 500 EV and a Ford e-Mach charging and I had to wait for them since the third station was broken. Btw all recent EA issues are not like the ones in...

    Taycan 4S vs Audi e-tron GT review

    Nothing new in this review. Same story as Macan vs Q5 and Panamera 4S vs S6. The lifeless and disconnected Audi steering and handling is known to anyone who has owned Audis ( I had 2 Audi S models in last decade). Another issue with Audis is that their normal driving mode is too sluggish so you...

    How I fixed the door rattles

    After the dealer having the car for 2 days they thought they diagnosed the major rattle from the door led strip and added foam there. They were totally wrong. They also "could not diagnose" the other rattles and at that time I could not drive togetwith the mechanic to reproduce the issue due to...

    Thoughts on Lease vs Purchase?

    In California you pay 9.x% sales tax (the equivalent of your VAT) only for the lease amount, not the full car price. So when you lease a Taycan you pay roughly half the taxes than buying it. If you compare a 3 year lease vs buy and sell after 3 years then the savings in taxes offset (and are...

    Porsche Dashcam Installed - Review and Overview for US Taycan Owners

    This is all good but you need a camera with side and rear coverage. For parking you need a camera with its own battery. On the Taycan if you leave the dash camera on it will drain the small 12v battery (dash cams draining the 12v battery has been reported multiple times in this forum). The car...

    Porsche Dashcam Installed - Review and Overview for US Taycan Owners

    My ins has good coverage (required by the Lease terms) and I pay way way less than that. But we are getting off topic.

    Locked myself in on the back seat

    Touch the lower screen to wake it up, then pop the trunk from there. If you have a 2021 and the phone with you you can also unlock it from the Connect app. Or maybe just call someone from your household to come and save you.

    Software Update Has New Features for 2020 Taycans

    Noone with a 2020 has managed to see SoC on their PMCC after the update. It seems that feature is limited only to 2021.

    Adding features/hardware after delivery

    No I mean exactly what I said. A J1772 extension would give you the equivalent of a 25ft J17772 cable. Like this one. If you buy a Nema 14-50 extension then you will have to drag the charger around every time.

    Adding features/hardware after delivery

    For the cable you can just buy a quality J1772 Extension from Amazon. Just make sure the Amp rating is right. A slightly (but not much) more expensive option is to buy another charger which has a 25ft cable. I wouldn't count much on anything to be added after you buy the car. It is usually not...

    Software Update - new PCM needed

    Unfortunately, It is a well known issue to this forum. There are dozens of posts about fried PCMs and other modules during the software update. Some owners reported their dealers have stopped accepting cars for updates since they have many bricked Taycans in their lots waiting for back-ordered...

    Please Welcome Stealth

    When I had a Macan with oil leaks that could not be fixed they really did not care about a "thread of using the lemon law". That is daily business for them and I don't think it will expedite anything. I know everyone's situation is different but you can start the lemon request and you can always...

    Headlight Control Error

    My dealer is also unable to diagnose any of the these intermittent error messages. Last time they hoped WMA5 would fix them but it hasn't fixed anything. The problem is not the dealer, it is the car itself which not only throws random errors but it also does not record anything to help the...

    Headlight Control Error

    Here is the a new error today about headlights. That was right after a WBA unavailable warning. A restart seems to have fixed it, so add it to the list of bugs. Has anyone seen this before?

    What’s your Taycan efficiency?

    70/30% city/hwy driving. 2020 4S with 20" wheels inflated at 39psi cold. The numbers get a little better now that the weather is better.

    And so the problems begin...

    there is a transmission in the rear axle which has all these and there are cases that Transmission errors stall the car. Again I am just saying that there is a small chance that some problems are not electrical related but also mechanical.
