    Electrical System Failure......service needed

    This error is not related to AMB5 and if the dealer says the only thing they did is the AMB5 update then they did not resolve the root cause. I hope they find out what is really causing it.

    How I fixed the door rattles

    I used child-proofing foam like the one you put at the furniture edges and corners. Here is one option from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Furniture-Protective-Childsafe-Fireplace-Countertop/dp/B07DZSTTNT/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=child+proofing+foam&qid=1628538985&sr=8-8

    Has anyone powder coated their wheels black?

    I think the black wheels look very cool especially if you combine them with black mirror caps, black window trim and black model designation in the back.

    Taycan stolen

    It's not only the abuse and potential hidden of visible damage. Most likely the car's title and Carfax history will show that the vehicle was stolen and recovered. That immediately reduces its resale value in case you keep the car.

    Taycan 4S vs Audi e-tron GT review

    Exactly what you described is also the difference of Macan vs Q5. The two brands intentionally have these differences to appeal to different customer segments. Porsche is always going to be more athletic (and more expensive) and Audi is always going to be an grand tourer.

    How do I know whether the 150KW onboard charger or other internal components are missing from my build?

    But he is not asking for the 40v DC/DC 150kw option. He is asking why his car is not charging st 150kw at an 800v station (Electrify America are 800v and the 400v option doesn't play a role). Every Taycan has a DC charger able to charge up to 270kw at 800v. There is nothing to check, that is...

    How do I know whether the 150KW onboard charger or other internal components are missing from my build?

    If you start at 35% the charging rate should be at least 100kw and start tampering down after 80%. This article shows the charging rate (aka charging curve) as a function of SOC https://insideevs.com/news/427335/porsche-taycan-dc-charging-test/

    How do I know whether the 150KW onboard charger or other internal components are missing from my build?

    The OP is not asking for the 400v option. They basically ask "why doesn't my car charge at 150kw when I connect it to a 150kw EAcharger". First you car can charge at speeds up to 270kw. I don't think it will so up in the build sheet because it is standard equipment for all Taycans. The catch is...

    How I fixed the door rattles

    Thanks for the update and yes I have that too. The location is not random. It is the area that you push to open the door to get out. The door panel is like a flimsy cardboard when you see it from the inside, so it it is no surprise it breaks over time. It is a different problem than the one...

    BMW i4 and iX in person

    The iX is much bigger size than the Bolt so definitely a different category. It is almost as big as an X5.

    In case you were wondering how much a battery costs

    This is probably listed automatically by some inventory software. There are other reasons you might need a battery like being involved in an accident where the battery structure got damaged. In this case the insurance or you have to pay for the battery. Btw shipping at $76 is a steal. The...

    Does the service order mention what they fixed?

    BMW i4 and iX in person

    They already have them in the current BMW X5 and M850i so it is happening. What is interesting is that I have seen a lot of people in the BMW forums asking if they can retrofit crystal knobs/shifter to their cars, so apparently there is a big target group.

    BMW i4 and iX in person

    It looks slightly better in this darker color than the red I saw today with the gold accents. But still I wouldn't pay $80-100k to have this car in my garage.

    BMW i4 and iX in person

    It was an Autocross event at the Cow Palace in Daly City. I got to drive the M440i xdrive 6 autocross laps. I know that some poeple in this forum might grill me for what I will say but the M440i was more fun than my Taycan 4s for sporty driving. The exhaust sound and the 1000lbs lighter chassis...

    BMW i4 and iX in person

    I was at a BMW driving event and they had real iX and i4 on display. My impressions: iX exterior looks weird and worst than the photos. It has a lot of champaign color accents which I did not like iX interior is top notch, very luxurious, but I did not like the color on display. iX size is big...

    Taycan stolen

    They will not track the location unless you have purchased the tracking package. If they happily tracked stolen cars that did not subscribe to the package then nobody would buy them before their car was stolen. However, here is another thing you might try. The car is connected to LTE (either...

    Taycan stolen

    I don't think you should use your insurance even if you have theft coverage because you don't want your premiums to increase. The dealer should have their own business liability insurance and they should be responsible to pay for your loss via their insurance. I assume you have a document like...
