My understanding of the problem with 2020 OTA modules (and that understanding may be flawed) is that the stuck provisioning state issue is fixed/prevented with firmware. Firmware lives in flash that can be updated. So these OTA modules coming out of 2020 cars can be updated to newer firmware -...

Which (IMHO) means we (as the users / owners) don't really know the cause(s). It is not clear that Porsche does either, or if they do they have not shared anything with users / owners.

First thing I would do is check all the rubber shield pieces under the hood. I believe there was one in particular that can come loose and possibly cause this sound.

If the HV battery has sufficient charge, then once you can get the system started, power on the car and leave it on for a while. Drive it or don't drive it - doesn't matter. What you want is for the HV battery and DC-DC converter to be on, charging the 12V battery. You can configure the...

To add to the above, the risk / set of triggers does not seem to be constant from vehicle to vehicle...

A Taycan not being driven for 8 weeks may be the saddest thing I have heard this year...

Unlike the Model S, which would lose about 10 miles of range each day, there seems to be zero vampire drain in the Taycan. The problem though is that when there is some system consuming power, it is coming from a relatively small 12V Li-Ion battery (same small battery set-up as Tesla but Tesla...

What a bummer to have a car that is so fun to drive be plagued by such issues... There is a strong correlation between 12V battery death and changing profile or timer settings while the car is connected to EVSE. It's not likely the app - you can change timer/profile settings via the website and...

Don't mix up English "Direct Charging" and "Direct Current". Direct Current = DC = Gleichstrom = voltage does not alternate between - and + relative to ground Direct Charging = Direkt Laden As stated, if you plug into a DC charger, all charging profiles, limits, timers, target states of charge...

The front motor has sufficient power to overcome wind resistance at reasonable speed. If you are climbing, maybe the rear motor must kick in. And as ron_b points out, disengaging the rear motor and transaxle will reduce resistance and increase efficiency. Range mode also lowers the height and...

This is mostly inconsistent with my observation the one time I have had to use the mechanical key since April. I agree it is stiff to turn the key in the lock, but at no point did I need pliers to turn the key to unlock the door or to turn it back or to remove the key from the lock cylinder...

The wall to battery charging losses will vary with temperature but not likely in a meaningful way (nor would we be able to isolate this). So I'd say lump that into battery heating and charging losses. Correlating this battery heating plus charging loss to outdoor temp should show a pattern. If...

Please note the same question in the similar threads section below and look in there for your answer.

Interesting theory. I assume you have sufficient KMs on your car to be past the initial brake pad bedding in phase. And if your theory holds, does the profile minimum SOC or timer maximum SOC affect this? Or both? As a counter to your theory, I have not modified the general charging profile and...

When the car is left plugged in and pre-heats the battery for a departure that never happens, the energy used to heat the battery is wasted. Of course that doesn't affect the range of the car, but it does affect the overall efficiency. With PMCC or another EVSE that tracks charging, it would be...

There is a key difference here - the Taycan writes to the key and the key has visual indication of this. If you see the red ring around the Porsche crest light up at any point, the key is in range of the car. So, if you see a red flash from wherever you wish to store your keys, you need to move...

Finally charged my MY20 last night. I have a time-of-use rate plan so cheapest electricity from 9pm to 6am. I have a 40A 240V charger connection and PMCC set for 32A charging current - plenty to recharge in that 9 hour window. I have only the general charging profile, it is not enabled (not...

I ordered my Taycan from an out of state dealer with whom I had never done business. They were in the city where my brother lives and they had an allocation for a Turbo. I'm lucky - this dealership (Euroclassics in Midlothian, VA near Richmond) is staffed by true Porsche enthusiasts and I'm...

I have many of those same options (21", power charge port doors, heavy right foot). I think it's all about battery temperature and driving history. It's in the 40s - 50s now, and I'm mostly making short trips. My range has dropped to 200-210 miles. I just got back from one such short trip with...

This is exactly what you want to do for future-proofing. 100A or 150A run from your meter (may need a new cut-off switch at your service entrance) to a new sub-panel in your garage, then you have all kinds of options for now and the future.
