Don't think it would be possible. The Tesla Superchargers get the car's VIN over the SuperCharger connection. I'm guessing it would refuse to charge a non-Tesla vehicle. Then again, someone could call out Elon on his "I'm not here to make a profit, I'm here to enable a transition to an all EV...

One addition - with Power Line Communication (PLC) between the car and PMCC, exchange of any data is technically possible, however while I DID have PLC enabled between the car and PMCC it doesn't seem to be implemented. (and if you didn't know, disabling PLC is one of the recommended steps in...

I had this same thing on my Model S. Tesla actually replaced the lights and rear decorative strip for this exact problem under warranty (back in the good days when Tesla service was super spectacular - before Model 3 production...) The second set had the same issue.

First, your car has a low-power always-on cellular radio. By always on I mean it checks in periodically (seems to be about every 60-90 seconds). That check in sends telematics status (state of charge, GPS location, tire pressure, mileage, doors status, parking brake status, lock status). By low...

Should have ordered the electronic charge port - then you would at least know what was the root cause...

LOL my Apple Music icon ripened as well. What's next - brown and fuzzy?

More technically correct response than mine. It may also vary depending on the type of brakes (PCCB, PSCB, standard).

I'd bet a lot of money storage in the PCM is solid state, not spinning media. I have heard similar noises when the AC is on low (below auto), almost as if one of the fans at very low speeds makes some slight noise that goes away at higher speeds. This noise in my case is nearly imperceptible -...

Keep in mind people are much more likely to post about negative experiences and problems. In all, I moved from a technology heavy Tesla to the Taycan specifically to get the vehicle platform, dynamics, drivetrain, and everything that makes a Porsche a Porsche, EV style. Do I realize sometimes...

Actually it turned out the lack of Autopilot hardware was a reason my Model S buyer wanted my 2012 car...

Nope - for the first 500 miles, regen is disabled to properly bed in the brake pads. And to clarify, once you get past that first 500 mile bedding in (and potential subsequent burn-off of any oxidization on the rotor surface), you always have regen (unless your battery is super cold or super...

This is not true if your 2020 OTA module has already entered the corrupted memory state. The update might prevent it from getting there but won't recover it if it's already there.

Great pictures. Have not noticed this at all.

Valid points above, but as stated two threads above, the car will further warm the battery if plugged in with precondition enabled and a departure time set. And a warmer battery will yield more range, both because the car doesn't need to consume energy to warm the battery and because a warmer...

What would be helpful would be to know the output capacity of the DC-DC converter that powers the 12V subsystem. It has a limit. A 1500W inverter would require about 140A (at an optimistic 90% efficiency for the inverter). That's way more than all the Taycan's 12V systems require and than...

I wonder what "central computer" means in a car with so many distributed computer subsystems... There seems to be one computer that drives the three control screens (central display, passenger display, lower control panel). PCM and its LTE data connection (as a group of services) live on that...

@tigerbalm and @Alemany I'm guessing you both may MY2021s? Maybe there are updates for 2021s but not for 2020s...

Provided your car is plugged into a charger and you have a departure timer set with pre-condition enabled on that departure timer, you will get some battery pre-heating and that will result in more efficient use of the battery while you are driving.

Other than map updates, what makes you think there have been any other OTA software updates? I do see a short confirmation when a map update has been installed.

This is most of the reason I didn't fork over the extra $$$ for a Turbo S - the available torque and HP are the same except in Overboost which is only available from launch control. I definitely think it's just a software limit.
