    Porsche maps versus Google/Apple maps

    In situations with heavy traffic requiring rerouting nothing beats Google Maps (and maybe Apple Maps / Waze). The Porsche navigation gets some traffic information but it's not used to navigate all that well. As soon as I see the built-in navigation report traffic I switch to Google Maps...

    POLL: Is your Taycan missing the Charging Planner

    I have a feeling this is related to the backend update that was done for the '20 and '21 cars, and I also think this likely means FoD will be available for '22 cars very soon.

    POLL: Is your Taycan missing the Charging Planner

    I have no idea how or why, but my Charging Planner menu has magically appeared today! Base Taycan, no PIRM, built mid-January. Does it work? Yes, although it gets very confused by ferries. If it needs to add a charging stop after a ferry it just gets stuck "thinking" about the charging plan.

    Good Test of ACC/ALK/Innodrive in Taycan

    Lane Change Assist has that cost associated with it because it adds two additional radars in the rear. They also get used for some other safety features. It's really useful as an alert to not drive into other people during a lapse of focus. In the US where highway lanes are the wild west and...

    Bluetooth Low Energy OBD Dongle for A Better Route Planner (SOLUTION FOUND)

    Works on my end with the vLinker MC+ on an Android phone. Doesn't seem super useful so far.

    175kw from 150kw charger

    Many of the 150kW chargers have an amperage limit that puts it at around 150kW for 400V vehicles, but with 800V architectures they're no longer amperage limited, but just total power delivery limited and they'll do a little over 150kW. Typically 175kW. The 350kW chargers have the same dispenser...

    Good Test of ACC/ALK/Innodrive in Taycan

    I'd really like to compare FoD Innodrive with factory Innodrive. I have the factory one and I really like it (it's basically the same as Audi's new Adaptive Cruise Assist). Turned off the automatic speed adjustment, besides that I use it with everything engaged. The steering is very reliable in...

    First 3 days, 7+ issues

    Well, as I got in my car this morning, even though I did multiple factory resets yesterday, suddenly it knows who I am again. Gave it another factory reset and I was greeted with the proper setup guide. Everything now just seems to magically work again.

    Missing Charging Planner

    Taycan built 01/14-01/17, exact same issue (along with a slew of other ones).

    First 3 days, 7+ issues

    So I don't think the dealer is to blame. The car went through PDI with no pending actions. When I picked the car up I signed in to the PCM and everything worked fine too. I'm just hitting a large number of the issues other people have over the life of their car right away. @WattTurbo now that...

    First 3 days, 7+ issues

    I picked up my shiny new cherry red RWD sedan Saturday morning (built mid-January). The car drives absolutely brilliantly, and the first 8 hours of ownership were completely problem-free, but after that things started getting a little weird. - Saturday evening, around 8pm: the alarm issue. I...

    Interior Alarm Fix (WNB4)

    It includes pretty recent ones. Mine (produced mid-January, PDI Friday) needs it too.

    Alarm keeps going off

    Mine has just reached a whooole new level of alarm issues. And I've only had it since yesterday morning. Tonight when I got home the alarm just started to go off within a few seconds as soon as the car locks (key / door handle / trunk button / timer, via all methods). Luckily it stops after...

    Remote ParkAssist with an Android phone

    Works! I took delivery of my Januarybuilt Taycan yesterday, and had my work iPhone with me for Remote ParkAssist. Online all materials say it's iOS only. To my surprise it also worked on my Android phone! I think it must've been part of the new My Porsche app. Experience Great, it does...

    Alarm keeps going off

    My Taycan was built mid-January and I took delivery yesterday. While waiting for a friend I parked in a lot on an incline and locked the car. Within a minute the alarm went off. And again. And again. Definitely still needs a fix.

    Poll - Has your Taycan shifted to P or N automatically?

    Not while moving, but after stopping at a stop sign for just a few seconds I found my brand new RWD (built mid-Jan, picked up today 140 miles ago) to be in P.

    Ordered a ST RWD. Too many options?

    I think I got you beat, picking up my car in about 9 hours. RWD sedan with: - cherry red, black interior - 20 wheels - premium package (US: pano roof, PDLS+, 14-way memory seats, BOSE, lane change assist, seat ventilation, surround view, folding mirrors, ambient lighting, storage pack, ionizer)...

    Inadvertent long-term storage; Pre-Condition Taycan Climate to Juice 12V?

    I think triggering remote climate is a pretty good idea. Sure, you waste some power, but it does make the high voltage battery kick in.

    Finally produced. How much time now?

    I'm not sure if they use land or sea transport to Portugal. To Germany and neighboring countries it's typically only 2-3 weeks.
