@WalterG - great write up. I'm glad to see that you found a nice process for charging as well as discovering that in many circumstances the 150kW chargers work as well as the 350kW chargers.

The Charging NA app works me so I didn't see a reason to mess with it. I launch the app and the location appears. The Porsche Connect app has an additional step to open the map page. Until after this trip I had not looked closely at the map page of the Porsche Connect app. I didn't even have the...

I will be away from my car for a few weeks. I hope these are the measurements you needed.

Many of us who have Android phones need our devices visible to use apps like Waze because we do not have Carplay. The cradle that I have on my Proclip mount is a Qi Charger.

@BruceF - I removed the cradle from the mount and shot a short video to show how to install the mount. I was wrong about the 10 seconds. It takes 4 seconds to do it one handed. As you will see in the video there is no need to wedge anything on the top. It is more of a wrapping motion and the...

I think they may have sent you the wrong piece. It should take less than 10 seconds to install the mount. You should not need to put any pressure to get the top piece to fit between the leather and the PCM screen. In reality it only slightly moves the leather a tiny bit away from the screen. The...

What I saw during this weekend's trip was that the battery temp had a bigger impact than what I expected or remembered from my past charging sessions. Back in January when I did the reverse trip, the freezing temps and a cold battery definitely kept the rate low (I think I saw about 65 kW...

My charging routine with the Charging NA app: Identify the 350 kW charger Verify that the charger screen is on (if not it is probably out of order) Position the car in between chargers in case you need to use the adjoining charger Plug cable into Taycan's DC port The screen on the EA charger...

@WalterG - do you remember if the battery was preconditioned? My best charging sessions are when the battery is preconditioned to 85F. If the battery temp was low, 150kW at 24% SOC isn't bad. As you know, the rate tapers down as the battery gets to capacity. I usually see above 100 kW until...

Today I drove another 380 miles from Durham, North Carolina to Alpharetta, Georgia. I could have made the trip with 2 charging stops, but I decided to make 3 stops to try more Electrify America chargers. Yesterday, all four 350kW chargers connected on the first attempt (yesterday was an A+)...

On this trip I didn't monitor the consumption too closely. The outside temperature was 36F when I left at 6:15 am and was 68F when I arrived at 4:53 pm. No rain. The consumption by the end of the trip was 36.9 kWh/100 miles (2.71 miles/kWh). I drove mostly in Range mode and kept pace with the...

Fyi, the Wawa store is closed for renovations so no snacks or restrooms.

Today I drove 553 miles from Connecticut to Durham, North Carolina. I stopped at 4 Electrify America chargers (Wawa Store - New Castle, Delaware), (Simon Arundel Mills - Hanover, Maryland), (Walmart - Stafford, Virginia), (Walmart - Henderson, North Carolina). I have had pretty good luck at EA...

Bad news everyone. I didn't have a chance to upload the new software. I was waiting to hear back from the manufacturer on whether or not to update. Unfortunately, yesterday the MMB box stopped working. It has power and the status light shows that it is connecting. Unfortunately, the car now...

Correct, the Individual mode is only available with the Sport Chrono Package option. I use my Individual setting except when I'm on a long distance road trip. I have my Individual setting programed for Sport Drive Mode, with the Normal Suspension, and the low ride height of Sport+. As far as the...

Wow, I never noticed the symbol. I just assumed that USB-C connectors worked regardless of end. Your suggestion worked. Thank you.

@jmi91 after you installed the new software, what are the version numbers of the OS and App on your MMB box? I'm wondering if I have the same versions as you, or if I need to update.

My Carplay MMB box arrived. I ordered mine from Amazon US$299 (they are currently out of stock). It was described as a 2021 version (Universal - Grey box). I'm not sure if it is a newer version than some of you installed. I have a 2020 Taycan. Last week I installed a similar Ubisheng Carplay...

I have homes in CT and GA in case you were wondering why my info says GA.

@taycan4ny - if you are willing to drive up to Shelton, CT - I highly recommend WrapNShine. I did a bunch of research before I had my Aston Martin DB11 paint corrected, full body XPEL PPF, and ceramic coated. They were meticulous and a few thousand cheaper than the place in Darien, CT. FYI...
