    Faint high pitch noise

    I speced noise insulated glass because I wanted to enjoy driving in silence. However, I noticed recently that there is faint, high pitch noise inside my Taycan, reminding me of transformer coil whine, if I was to estimate it is somewhere around 14KHz in pitch (so pretty high). I am not sure...

    How to associate suspension level with driving mode

    I only picked up my Taycan a week ago, and just realized that suspension height doesn't seem to associate with the driving mode. For example, the car is in Normal mode and at Regular height. I then switch to Sport mode, car stays at same height. I then switch the car to Low height (while in...

    Quick question to US owners, did you have to create an EA account and somehow link it for the Porsche 3 year free charging, or did Porsche do it for you (or maybe send you an invite link to create an EA account linked to Porsche)? Or how do you access Porsche 3 year free charging from EA app?

    Best road trip / route planners

    I am planning a long road trip, so I figured I would ask the community: What are your favorite route planners to use on road trips? I come from Tesla, so I'm spoiled, as the built-in system does a great job planning routes, showing all the information one needs about charger locations, their...

    Is WiFi Hotspot active 24/7?

    If one pays for the WiFi hotspot option, is the WiFi hotspot active 24/7? I don't care about hooking up phones to it, but thought about connecting a dashcam and being able to access it when the car is parked somewhere, via the WiFi hotspot.

    Did anyone measure light transmissivity of the thermally and noise insulated windows? I saw in videos it's slightly darker than non insulated glass, but could not find the percentage transmissivity. I'd like to use that number so that I can order the appropriate tint film ahead of the car's...

My car is still sitting in Emden, but the web UI allows me to activate online updates remotely (one of the few things I can do without entering the code on the PCM screen).

    Did anyone in the USA/Canada manage to get amber turn signals?

    I'm curious, has anyone in North America tried swapping our the tail lights with a European version to get the amber rear turn indicators in the rear? If so, was it just a part swap, or did some ECU's have to get reprogrammed too?
