    Paint scratch so easy, anyone else ? How to fix it?

    The good news is that, when you do install PPF, you probably won’t be able to detect those scratches anymore. And you won’t get new ones.

    Just got my CT4s Allocation! Questions on Performance Options

    For what it's worth, note that the olea club leather option includes the interior accents (neodyme etc.) that would cost $650 separately in the U.S. Also, the seat backs are covered in leather with the olea option, although that is not stated in the configurator.

    PEC LA to Seattle, WA over 4 days/3 nights - Taycan GTS delivery trip

    Thanks -- it's always interesting to read about long distance Taycan adventures. Regarding the limited charging rate, was battery saving enabled in your PCM?

    More expensive to drip charge via a 3 pin plug at approx 2kw than using a pod point for example at 7kw?

    Thanks for the article. Given Porsche's other design decisions on the Taycan, I would wager that they came up with a way to use on-board charger waste heat to heat the battery, reducing use of heating elements to do the same. If so, that would be revealed in charging loss comparison tests such...

    First true BEV tuning available? HGP-Turbo software for maximum battery performance / acceleration & raising Vmax speed limiter (for RS Etron-GT)

    Huh? Porsche made a very specific claim about hardware differences between the models. This claim is verifiable by third parties (not to mention Taycan owners) who inspect the actual hardware installed in each model. Are you expecting us to believe that Porsche could succeed in such a fraud...

    Electrify America problem after Update

    Porsche obsoleted the Charging NA app with the same functionality incorporated into the My Porsche app. That was roughly a year ago. The My Porsche app activates my EA charging sessions the same as with the old Charging NA app. Is the My Porsche app not initiating EA charging sessions for you...

    New Delivery ASMR….

    I share your dislike of decals, and sense of humor. That said, the round speed warning decal near the instrument cluster in U.S. markets is a regulatory requirement corresponding to whichever tires come installed on your Taycan. Thank the same forward-thinking bureaucrats who imposed a frontal...

    Brake pedal noise “plunk”

    There are prior threads on this topic. You may obtain more benefit by continuing one of those threads rather than creating a new one. Examples: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/brake-pedal-noise-dull-clunking-sound.3233 https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/noisy-brake-pedal.4292

    Improving cellular connection

    The Taycan WiFi connection only works in Russia according to prior threads. Here are a couple of prior threads on the topic of cellular network boosters and extenders. Last I checked, Verizon only had a booster, whereas T-Mobile and AT&T had extenders...

    If you optioned the Porsche Vehicle Tracking System, you can try service mode or transport mode as a temporary solution.

    Which of these used / preowned Taycans is better choice?

    Perhaps not worth the price difference, but note that model year 2021 introduced improved traction battery cell chemistry, and the option for plug-and-charge with 22 kW max AC charging rate.

    NACS vs CCS

    Tesla apparently is exploring a business model for their charging stations involving restaurants, so opening up the chargers to other EV brands will bring in more restaurant customers. Source:

    GTS 2023 or Turbo S 2021?!

    First, thanks for describing your Turbo-S experience. Second, what is your concern with the default recuperation setting? The default setting is to coast as much as possible, with recuperation when you press the brake pedal. Sport and Sport+ mode overrride this. The Taycan achieves far greater...

    Can I get an opinion on a project EV

    You and your friends and family will get so much more enjoyment and utility out of it post-conversion, and you can keep the original parts in storage to appease any purists. Keeping it original is like not installing plumbing in an old house. Certainly the people who built the house would have...

    Trip Report: my first relative long distance trip - about 350 miles

    I drive 850 miles each way several times a year between Florida and Virginia. The Porsche navigation re-routings can be farcical, as you eloquently described. My method is to let the Porsche navigation select the charging stops when I'm departing at full charge, then I disable Porsche navigation...
