Yes, at least with the US EPA testing, the mileage/efficiency calculation has to be made with the default settings of the car. One reason "nobody else seems to be doing this" is that until recently, nobody else had achieved the Taycan's quality of blended regenerative braking that makes it...

What happens if you use the My Porsche app instead of the EA app? When I've had to call EA technical support, they've recommended I use the My Porsche app to initiate the charge, instead of the EA app. Once I go past the 30 free minutes, Porsche bills me for additional use of the EA charger, so...

Here's another plausible explanation: 3. Government mileage/efficiency ratings are based on test driving with default vehicle settings. The Taycan's default coasting behavior, where regen normally only occurs when pressing the brake pedal, is more efficient than one-pedal-driving behavior, and...

Beeper volume is a setting in the German developer mode of PIWIS that is not documented in English. PIWIS developer mode is discussed in this article: http://crp129.com/2022/03/05/981-sport-chrono-retrofit-on-software-side/. If someone has access to a PIWIS and is fluent in German (or handy with...

As part of my pre-delivery checklist, the master mechanic disabled my beeper via a setting in the German developer mode of PIWIS that is not documented in English. Unfortunately he is no longer with the dealership so I was not able to find the name of the setting. PIWIS developer mode is...

I assume you are talking about using the My Porsche app to activate a 30 minute free session at an Electrify America charger. That is the only way I've fast charged for the last two years / 25,000 miles. (Plug-and-charge was not an option for my MY2020.) How did you determine that a paid session...

I specified Mamba Green sight-unseen in 2019, on the assumption that Porsche wouldn't sell such an eye-catching color if it wasn't perfect for the Taycan. On delivery 11 months later, the sales rep said it was the only Mamba Green Taycan in the region (DC). BTW if you are going to PPF your...

Perhaps the mobile phone rebroadcast feature is specific to certain regions/countries, but it works for me in the U.S.:

Do you have the mobile phone external antenna feature in Portugal? Here's what we have in North America:

Thanks for the detailing your experience. I also took delivery of a 4S in September 2020, but have not yet had the uPdate. What magic words did you use with your service writer to get them to perform the uPdate on your 2020? My service writer said my VIN is not included in the ANA6 recall...

I'll start carrying a small lock as well, but why two? Isn't it impossible to remove the Tesla Tap from the Taycan while the doors are locked, same as all other charging plugs? Ahhh, but then there's the problem of the misguided valet, who is able to unlock the car. Maybe I answered my own question.

Channeling my inner Jeff Foxworthy, If your car finish is recommended by the Federal Witness Protection Program, it's not a color. If your wife — who thinks of cars as an appliance to be abused, and is obsessed with what other people will think — demands you choose grey, it's not a color. If...

I tried to fast charge while shopping at Target this morning but all of the EA Signet-branded 150 kW units were displaying "Charger Unavailable". Customer support said the site is down. So I drove to EA's national headquarters here in Reston, where they have four different models of DC fast...

Consider the Olea Club in Atacama beige/black (or whatever it's called in your market) with the Paldao wood accents and the neodyme trim (that comes with that leather package). It's aesthetically coherent with Mamba Green and the overall effect is like being in a very nice private jet. You may...

I suspect that the vast majority of BMWs are purchased from dealer inventory, so the retail customer is burdened not only with a soul-sucking grey/black/silver/white dealer-specified "safe" paint color, but with disabled hardware that can only be enabled by subscription. Hence the recent posts...

Wow, I have never seen my Taycan allow the battery to get to 118 F, especially during charging. What was the battery temperature the first time you experienced the abort? I would call 1-800-PORSCHE and see if this requires a service call for a problem with the battery thermal management system.

@daveo4EV has more insight on this topic than anyone I can think of. Posting his nickname is like turning on the bat-signal.

@Marirstaycan, as you mentioned, there are several popular threads on this forum on the topic of Taycan dashcams. Why create a new thread and lose out on all the insights that have already been posted?

Then we’ll publicize that on Twitter. Oh wait.

This YouTube video points out that Tesla has plans for healthy restaurants at Supercharger locations, and speculates that this may be a big part of their business strategy for opening up the charging network to non-Teslas:
