    Quick question, Homelink Country code in Canada

    Can someone with a Canadian Taycan check the country code in the Info screen of Homelink and report back the Country Code that is showing? Bonus if you know other country codes. Hint, 1 is not USA (I think it's Germany or EU but not certain).

    What setting controls "Country Code" for HomeLink?

    Does anyone know what setting controls the Country Code in HomeLink? I couldn't find anything in user settings, nor using PIWIS diagnostic tool - I checked the "UGDO Sender" control unit but it doesn't seem to have any settings that can be coded, so I assume it gets it from somewhere else...

    WA GoodToGo Flex pass placement

    In case you are wondering where to place your GoodToGo Flex Pass in a Taycan with noise and thermal insulated glass, the answer is in the dotted area at the top of the windshield next to the mirror. That area is a little small (my wife's Audi Q8 eTron has the same area but large enough to fit...

    MyPorsche - what does it mean when all controls are gone?

    I noticed that my Porsche app removed all controls, no pre-heat/pre-cool, no remote unlock, etc. They car shows up, but even the car connection status is missing now. This has been an issue for the last 18 hours, at least that's when I noticed it when I wanted to pre-cool my car in scorching...

    Brake wear vs. frequency of charging

    I am not trying to get people to start obsessing over their brake wear or charging frequency, however I have noticed an interesting trend. We all know the first mile or two every day the Taycan will use mechanical brakes to clean off the rust. We also know that Taycans recalibrate their brakes...

    TeslaTap alternatives?

    I was looking for a second TeslaTap80 for our latest Tesla replacement car and came across this. Has anyone tried any TeslaTap alternatives, like this one (which appears to be an almost identical clone)? 80A version for $78 (after the 20% HS20 code) seems very tempting...

    Is your hood ornament straight?

    I've seen the Porsche white glove installation of the hood ornament in a few marketing videos, it usually shows something like this: I recently looked at mine and couldn't help but notice that while the top of the badge seems to align perfectly, the bottom seems off: The green line is what...

    Quickest Method(s) to Reset a Taycan

    Taycan is a giant computer, so the stereotypical IT "Have you turned it off and back on yet" diagnostic very much applies. Does anyone want to share the quickest method to reset the Taycan computers? The long method is to shut the car down and leave it alone a 30-60 minutes. Any proven fuse pull...

    Persistent audio source selection solved?

    I noticed my car has been remembering the last audio source recently when I get into the car. In the past it always went to CarPlay I think. but lately it's been remembering the most recent audio source (FM radio in this case). At first I thought CarPlay was not connecting, which actually turned...

    💰Things are going up! More price increases

    https://www.teslarati.com/porsche-increases-pricing-q1-earnings/ TL;DR: Porsche announces 4%-8% price increases across the entire lineup Or are they borrowing a page from Elon's marketing, threatening price increases to get people to place orders and not cancel orders stuck due to lack of heaters?

    Front camera virtual swivel, any way to disable it?

    Is there any way to disable the front camera image swiveling whenever I turn my steering wheel? While I'm sure it sounded like a great idea to some MBA marketing guys, because it looks cool, it actually takes away from the functionality. Anyone know of a way to disable it?

    Any way to tell real-time which gear the Taycan is in?

    I'm trying to track down a whining noise at 50mph, and it might be related to which gear the Taycan rear transmission happens to be in? Is there any way to get the Taycan to display which gear the rear is in?

    Why you should not scrutinize rang/SoC numbers too hard

    I unplugged my car to go pickup something at the store. It was at 85% SoC, as per general profile I keep. I drove 3 miles according to the trip report, managed 1.7miles/KWh, so should have used 1.76KWh, but after coming back home, the car's SoC is now showing 86% (and charging does not kick in...

    Taking apart side markers

    Anyone ever taken apart the side Taycan markers? Is it even possible or are they glued permanently? I'm curious because I just noticed that the transparent plastic on the orange ones is actually orange in color, which means perhaps the reflector inside is clear/white, rather than orange. My...

    PSA: Don't fully trust the 3D surround vision

    Ever since I got my Taycan, one of the few disappointments had been the backup camera system. The backup camera itself is horrible compared even to some cars which cost 1/10th the price! The 3D surround vision seems very unreliable, as I've seen things move on the 3D representation which have...

    Door handle does not detect touch?

    I've experienced the car unlocking itself right after locking, but recently I noticed the door handles sometimes will not present when I touch the driver's door handle, even if the key is right next to the handle. Keeping the key at the front door handle, but touching the rear door handle with...

    Apps often says windows are open

    Since I got my Taycan, the phone app keeps telling me my windows are open. Typically it tells me rear left/right windows are open, even though those are almost never used (I haven't had ANY passengers on the back yet, only had the car for a month). Opening and closing both rear doors fixes it...

    Is Porsche using cheap materials?

    I've had my Taycan a month, 4K miles, my headlights look more beat-up (small pits all over0 than a 5 year old Tesla with 50K miles on it, with which it shares the garage. My 8 year old Tesla I just sold had headlights in a better shape! Has Porsche always used this low of a durability headlights...

    Cross Country in a Cross Turismo

    20 months after putting down an initial deposit for the Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo, I finally picked it up. It wasn’t at the original dealership, as the wait list there was not moving very fast, so I quickly expanded my search to nationwide. Over a year later (after talking with more dealers...
