Wonder if that's the car reducing charging power because of some issue, or if that's just the car reporting that the EVSE isn't delivering enough power...? What were you actually getting?

I got the same photo! Maybe we have the same salesman - Young? He was pretty confident us Taycan customers would have access.

There used to be a POS unreliable old Signet CCS + Chademo 13 kW charger just outside of the VIR entrance (in the Race Plex area, right across from the first row of private garages). That Signet cabinet has been removed and replaced with a beautiful Porsche CCS charger (presumably one cable). I...

There is a setting in the range mode configuration (IIRC) to disallow range mode to change the max speed. That's what you want for this particular problem, but outside of range mode limiting the max speed, other electrical / drive system issues limiting acceleration is a big problem.

No, I am not certain that it is not TT-30R. IIRC (and the RC part of that is in question), some of the paddock pylons have two ganged breakers for this outlet - which makes me think it's 240V, but some also have a single breaker. Looking at this cheat sheet here NEMA Plug Chart - NEMA Plug...

I don't know how Porsche manages the regen braking vs. hydraulic braking in the RWD Taycan - but it's possible the rear motor is still contributing the majority of braking in day-to-day driving. This would result in much faster wear on the rear tires compared to the front. I had a RWD Tesla...

The RV pedestals at VIR have both 14-30 and 14-50 outlets, so you can also do this without having to buy an adapter. This should give you 24A charging current (80% of maximum rated circuit load). I did find that I wanted the extension though since the pedestals are outdoors, high off the...

If you disable all active profiles and timer (no need to delete them) and enable direct charge, and this error still happens, I'd look at your grid / AC stability. The charger could be sensitive, possibly to low voltage as a result of high current demand (possibly coupled with other high-current...

If anyone knows, I'd love to know the thickness of the PSCB brake pads when new. I need to evaluate mine (yes the car has seen some aggressive use and will see more coming up).

Sport Plus as your individual drive mode does the same thing. Bring up the AC menu and tap the AC button and it turns back on. It's annoying but the work-around is easy.

Still sends us back to this point though - we need a good portable EVSE with the capability to change the advertised maximum current to handle lower-quality grids.

Not quite - the way the J1772 protocol works is that the EVSE advertises the current it can supply and the car controls starting/stopping the charging process. The car can't change the current consumed. This does not apply to the CCS port where the car can and does change the charging current...

Why would you say the understeer comment is surprising? It's not going to oversteer with four wheel drive, and it's got a fairly even weight distribution. The understeer coming out of a turn is completely predictable. As for the tire wear, yup. It's a heavy car.

This is exactly the problem. The PMCC allows you to configure the charging current from the touch screen. I expect most other portable EVSE systems allow this as well. I would not travel with one that did not. With the PMCC, the errors you will encounter at a campground (or track paddock) NEMA...

I didn't notice a change for day-to-day driving when I dropped from 41/44 to 38/38. As for wear, if you are able to even notice a difference, more wear in the middle than on the outside means pressure has been too high. More wear on the outside than in the middle means pressure has been too low...

I'll see you at the Euroclassics track day (I bought mine from those guys - great group). My first track day with the Taycan was at their event last year. Their green group is paced, and last year had a couple of Cayennes. The yellow group is solo but has some faster drivers as well, but not as...

And this right there sums up why I love this car.

Note that's the full load pressure. The partial load pressure is 38/38. You can check this in the PCM settings -> Vehicle -> Tire pressure monitoring menu.

There is a CCS charger at Raceplex just outside of the main entry gate (turn right just before entering, then immediate right - it's across from a row of garages). It's only been working one of the three times I've been there and it's only good for 13 kW. Otherwise in both the North and South...

The PMCC has a nasty habit of overheating, especially at higher charge currents (> 35A), and enclosing it may make that problem worse. Good luck with the sell! It does make the installation look very nice and clean.
