While I agree that the reliability of the EA infrastructure needs further work, one owner's experience at two locations should not be applied to all EA locations. There are many of us starting with @louv, and continuing with others like @thecoloradokid, and myself who have completed many long...
I'm supposed to receive the Universal MMB box from Amazon around March 10th. I'll report back if it arrives, if it works, and how it compares to the UBISHENG box I mentioned in post #36 above. The one feature that I want is the ability to screen cast. Both the UBISHENG and MMB boxes mention...
I installed the UBISHENG box (see picture below). I would say I'm about 75% satisfied with it. The video in motion depends a lot on the data speed of my hotspot. For movies on Amazon Prime Video, it buffers periodically. For videos like music concerts on Youtube, no buffering even in motion...
@kort - It's unfortunate that it was your first road trip with a really bad experience. Don't bother calling Porsche. They will be clueless as you discovered regarding the EA chargers. Hopefully, the EA representative who tried to reset the chargers will report the location and get a technician...
Similar to those on the forum who have problems with their cars, and those who don't, some of us have had decent experiences at the EA chargers. I have done the trip back and forth from Georgia to Connecticut several times (900+ miles). I am planning another trip to Georgia in a couple of weeks...
My first drive in a Taycan was in the pouring rain at the Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta in a Taycan Turbo S in Feb 2020 just before the lock down. The driving instructor was in the passenger seat and told me to disable the traction control completely to demonstrate how well the car was...
Things I would add next time:
Turbo S (EV speed and torque are addictive)
Folding mirrors
Night vision
Porsche Exclusive Contrast Stitching
Favorite options on my car:
Rear Axle Steering
Massage seats
Mamba Green
Mission e rims
Pano roof
Sport Chrono plus mode selector dial
Motorized charge...
@MrJack - did you receive the MMB box? I installed a similar box last night.

I received the CarPlay AI box last night. As a reminder, I do not have an iPhone so CarPlay doesn't work with my Samsung Android phone on the Taycan. The purpose of this Box is to use the wired CarPlay interface in the Taycan and to replace the Apple environment with the Android platform that is...
Based on various videos I watched regarding these boxes, the box allows downloads of Android apps through the Google Play Store that can be viewed on the PCM by taking over the Carplay interface. In addition it allows screen casting. The box itself can be used as a standalone Android box that...
I ordered this one from Amazon. I have an Android phone so this should allow me to use Carplay with an Android interface. The one I ordered operates on Android 9.0. Most of the other Carplay AI boxes use Android 7.0 which is out of date. I will let you know if it works when I get it this...
As my first EV (I don't count my Cayenne e-Hybrid as an EV), I was not sure what to expect. I took a big gamble by ordering one sight unseen. I was pleasantly surprised by the performance and handling. As a long time Porsche owner, the styling and build quality do not disappoint either. I have...
I have purchased and serviced cars at both Fairfield and Danbury. If you are not making progress with the service department at Fairfield, you should consider making an appointment at Danbury. The service set up in Danbury is smaller but much more hands on than Fairfiled. My Taycan is from...
I noticed your profile says Fairfield, CT. Which dealer are you working with Fairfield, Danbury, or Greenwich? I'm currently next door to you in Westport.
