Unfortunately today's world is sometimes out of wack. During one of my ambulance calls on Saturday night, the police officer had to go back to his patrol car because he had to double check that it was fully locked down. He did not want to be on the wrong end of a stolen car report. As far as...

I recently completed a long distance road trip. I planned the trip with a layover to avoid using the Electrify America chargers in the middle of the night in a deserted Walmart parking lot. We had some friendly banter on the forum about stopping at Walmarts during off hours. I am glad that I...

Actually the Out of Spec video showed that with the Signet 350kW EA chargers the problems occurred when the high volt battery was too hot for the charger. The Taycan was not using the factory Porsche Charging Planner to precondition the battery because the Nav system was not working. What they...

In the rare occasions when I need to charge faster than overnight, I have stopped at the Electrify America chargers that are about 10 minutes from my house. I plug into a 150kW charger and in 30 minutes I'm above 80% SOC for free.

Yes there are issues with radar/laser detector functionality if you have the insulated glass. It was the biggest reason I did not get the insulated glass. I also don't need to run a front license plate, so I would have similar problems trying to use a toll transponder on the windshield. The...

Here's a link to replace the battery which also involves removing the FOB cover.

It has been a while since I installed my new FOB cover. If I remember correctly, remove the emergency key. You should then be able to push apart the original cover outward. To install the new cover line up the plastic tabs and it should snap back on. The tabs are not meant to be removed often...

I miss having a heated and air conditioned garage.

It was 27F (-3C) this morning. The snowflake was on the dashboard. The car started up without a delay and I was able to drive without waiting. Fyi, an additional benefit of the EV is the windshield defroster was great because there was no engine to warm up to generate heat.

I currently have my Taycan in Connecticut. The temperature is 30F. I will leave it outside in the driveway overnight unplugged. I will let you know what happens in the morning.

The year before I ordered my Taycan, I bought my Aston Martin DB11. I wanted to own a V12 before it disappeared. It is the third Aston I have owned and all are an experience to own and drive. However, the Taycan has been my go to car since I got it. Yesterday, I sold the DB11.

My current Individual setting is Normal ride, Sport, recuperation On and ride height Low. Except for last weekend's road trip when Range made sense for Highway cruising, I usually drive around in Sport Plus. Yesterday I drove into New York City and kept it in Normal because of the crappy roads.

@arijaycomet, fyi you can temporarily change the default Drive Mode settings (it will revert back to the default settings when you turn off the car). So you can have the drive mode in Range, but have the Chassis height in something else other than Low (see pic). WIth the Sport Chrono package...

@Yves_0016, battery temp is one of the options you can choose when you set up your Information screen on the dashboard (see bottom line of photo below). When you use the satnav and the car does not have enough range to reach the destination, the nav screen will have a red battery box. After...

I bought mine in CT because I lived there when I got on the waiting list 5 years ago. I have had no problem servicing it in Georgia. I get appointments and a loaner without a problem. I had the CT dealer register it in Georgia when it arrived in CT from Porsche.

Here is a summary of day 2 of my journey. This leg of the trip started in Durham, North Carolina at 6:35 am and ended in Connecticut at 5:58 pm. Bottom line is the Taycan is a very capable long distance car even in cooler weather (provided the battery is heated) more than 240 miles (386 km). In...

Same here. I’m selling my Aston on Monday because it is sitting in the garage with hardly any use the past 8 months since I got the Taycan.

One of the issues in the States is the reliability of the Electrify America 350kw chargers. I purposely made more stops to see if they worked. 3 of the 4 350 kw chargers worked. The 4th did not even after EA customer service restarted the charger (I used a 150 kw charger at that location). I...

@arijaycomet, I have all seasons on the 21 inch rims. Last night I inflated all four tires to 41 psi.

Today I drove leg 1 of my road trip from Georgia to Connecticut. My Taycan 4S has the 21 inch Mission E wheels. My first day was 376 miles (610 km) to Durham, North Carolina. The weather was dry but windy at 39 F (4 C). The temperature reached 45 F (7 C) in the middle of the day, but dropped...
