I would say that Porsche has developed a reasonable solution to cover a lot of use cases. However in doing so, they have indeed overly complicated it for simple use cases. What could work better is a switch for basic charging settings vs. advanced charging settings. Basic needs only two...

Profiles are location based except for the General Charging Profile - that one (if enabled) is applied if no location-based profiles are applied (so location-based profile takes priority). After living with it for a year - only charging at home, and with a time-of-use rate plan, I have only one...

Whatever your misgivings may be about the sad state of Taycan / Porsche software, infotainment, connect app, etc., a couple of launch control starts will clear that right up.

Not me (MY2020 after WMA5 update). Anyone tried removing and re-installing the Connect app?

The Taycan telematics features work similar to Tesla - nothing to do with PMCC. The PMCC does support connectivity to your home WiFi network to monitor the PMCC itself (e.g. charging status, charging history). For MY2021 Taycans, the vehicle state of charge can be communicated to the PMCC as...

I'll second Dee's perspective here - the car is better, not worse after the update. Is it life changing better? Not for me, but better, and appreciated. And I don't mind having to go to the dealer. My dealer always has something interesting to drool over - this time the new GT3 and two 918 Carerras.

Did you re-save your location after the update? My dealer told me the learned frequency and rolling code would still be there, but he recommended I re-save the location. I like how it pops up. I just yesterday figured out the long press to send the signal. Currently I have the IC shortcut...

This makes me cringe - like sympathy pain when you're playing sports with the fellas and someone gets their eggs scrambled...

Somewhere else someone had said there is a hardware difference in the MY20 vs. MY21 Taycan charging communication electronics - MY20 may not have the hardware for encrypted communication with the PMCC. This same hardware is likely required for plug and charge, and that's not available on MY20...

Innovative solution! Any chance of converting your electric water heater to gas? Not now of course since you have solved your problem, but down the road when your hot water heater needs to be replaced?

I don't have the complete list of firmware modules in the vehicle, but it's possible the WMA5 or WMA6 campaign updates them all, perhaps to update something around security for OTA updates. That said, while the voltage, WiFi, battery charger, key position, etc. requirements all certainly sound...

Tesla had a similar issue. Neither anticipates well enough to actually have the car at the lifted height when you are at the set location, instead they begin the lift process within a certain radius of the set location (I don't know what that radius might be). Consider that the lift process...

Select the left instrument cluster pod (with the right steering wheel button) then select Traffic Signs for the left pod display. If the pod is set for any other content, traffic signs are shown smaller on top between the left and center pod.

Is this 100% confirmed - that WMA7 involves a hardware update? I just got my MY20 and PMCC back from both WMA5 and WMA7 and the Taycan tech at my dealer said the PMCC update was only software for my unit. Maybe I already had a new communications board in there - but my care and PMCC were...

Just got my MY20 Turbo back from WMA5/WMA7. Dropped off Monday morning, it was ready this morning. Taycan 4S as a loaner. No evidence of any failed or incomplete updates and it looks like my dealer also waited for or manually applied the few OTA updates that others have referenced since I have...

If Porsche didn't do this to burn off the oxidization on the rotor from limited use, you would get squeaky brakes. This was an annoyance on the Model S.

I was referring only to the CPU temp. With the rest of the PMCC getting too hot to touch, I'd be wary of a bad internal connection and I'd take it into the dealer - especially given the in-car errors you have encountered.

Try deleting the profile and re-adding it to reset the GPS coordinates. Recall profiles (other than the general profile) are GPS based. Alternatively, if when you arrive home you already notice your expected profile (with preferred times 0:30 - 4:30) is shown as active, you can skip this step...

I had 2012 Model S with premium audio. After an update added a simple EQ, I feel it was possible to dial in good sound up to a reasonable volume limit. It did not have enough power to rock the neighborhood. Taycan with Bose - I can't seem to dial in quite as good of sound given the controls...

I haven't tested this, but let's say you have this: Profile set for 25% minimum charge (can't go lower) and preferred charging times 0:30 - 4:30 Timer set for departure time 4:30 and 85% target charge What happens if you plug in at say 18:00 with 25% SOC. 4 hours is not enough time to fill up...
