    Fitcamx dashcam installation

    Wow, that new video is so much better. when I did it a couple of months back I had no issue taking everything apart (camera came with the tools). It was putting back the lives that was the pain. first getting the mirror back on was tricky. Aligning it right to twist it back. Then the camera...

    Who charges their Taycan to 100% SoC at every charge

    I charge to 85%. I don’t really need that during the week so I may not even plug in for a few days. On the weekends having 85 is really handy, not always needed But allows me to not worry about range. One thing that is annoying is lack of consistent guidance. When I first started researching...

    Stanford study warns against charging electric cars at home overnight

    it should cover everything and be paid off in 6-7 years. With the EV and a pool with a heat pump our electric bill is high. We have good sun coverage and no trees blocking.

    SOLD: 2022 Carrara White Taycan 4S w/Mission E Wheels - SoCal - 5700 miles - $126k OBO by

    Similar spec/price to my 4s bought at the same time. My current spec is now $15k more if built today. This is likely similar. So a great price IMO.

    Stanford study warns against charging electric cars at home overnight

    In MA there are no special rates for EVs or time of day. They could easily incentivize what they need with better rates. For me, I usually charge at night. I’ll charge during the day once my solar is installed (June ish). So no drag on the grid from me.

    Denting near headlights and other things I noticed on my new Taycan

    This is completely unacceptable. So glad to hear they are taking ownership of it and doing the right thing. Just wanted to say that this thread is one of many reasons why I love this forum. So much support on here. The Taycan is my first high-end car, first custom order, and even talking to...

    Do you guys pay markup or MSRP for your Taycan?

    Waiting list Oct, allocation Nov, delivery Mar. Paid MSRP. I was very happy because at the time many were paying dealer fee. It was never even discussed. I assumed when you custom order you pay MSRP but I guess in the good old days you could get a nice discount.

    My Porsche App not updating vehicle status (Feb 6)

    I had this or very similar issue on Saturday. App failed to connect to car. Showed an error and eventually said the car was in private mode. In the car I could only select guest at first (before I noticed the app issue). Later that night, after I got the private mode dialog in the app, I was...

    Tech dropped calibration equipment on my hood

    It also helps to have an insurance broker. They referred me to this glass repair company so they want to make sure they maintain that relationship too I am sure.

    Tech dropped calibration equipment on my hood

    Yes, the company will take care of it for me. They were very responsive and just need an estimate for their books. Given they are willing to pay, I just want to do the right/best thing.

    Tech dropped calibration equipment on my hood

    I recently had my windshield replaced and the calibration technician dropped his equipment on my hood. Well, left it unattended in high winds and it blew over. there are scratches to the hood and side but they may only be in the PPF. Hard to say. do folks have any recommendations on what to...

    Another silly question...Is there an indication when the Ionizer is on?

    It is ‘on’ in the settings for me too but no icon and I have been getting from outside bad smells that I had never noticed before the update.

    Funny little things that drive me crazy | diva safe zone

    Love this thread, in part because the PCM update has really cleared up all the BIG annoyances. I back up my driveway to park in the garage and the reverse lights are not bright at all. The brake lights are far brighter. Backing up at night is hard with the fisheye and lack of light.

    EU mandating installing speed tracking hardware in all new cars (Autoblog)

    The Taycan has what is described in that blog already. I have it enabled (it was not on by default) I see a visual indicator (red border on speed limit sign) when I go over the limit. It is a nice feature. Not sure what the big deal is. The backdoor to slow the car on the other hand, that is...

    GTS (USA) – my thoughts after 10 days

    I was pleasantly surprised that my dealer switched out the amber for clear markers. I was going to order them myself but did not get around to it. When I picked up the car they had already done it. They also handled the PPF. They outsource to a reputable local company. I also did not have to...

    Retrofit Macan Camera?

    Moving from an Audi A4 to the Taycan camera was a huge shock to me. I thought it was so bad. It was really hard to back it into my tight garage etc. Somehow it was in the Panorama view and once I selected the Parking view it was so much better. Parking Switch view by tapping the front or...

    Am I overpaying?! 😫

    You are paying $2k plus 5k miles to get a car today vs a year from now (maybe). Given everything the price is not terrible. I got my allocation at MSRP but I have heard of markups for some dealers for those too. This is a personal choice. For me paying this much for a car is new and I wanted to...
