2026 Porsche Macan & Taycan vehicle ships with two ports already - one on the driver's side (L2 AC only - J-1772) and one on the passenger side (Combo J-1772/CCS) Swap the Driver's side J-1772 port for the NCAS port w/Fast charging support (J-1772 AC charging can be accomplished via existing...

the new Cayenne according to a PCA monthly newletter "reveal" has a passenger screen with Video Streaming support!!! this could be interesting - I hope Porsche makes a FOD or free software update available to bring the new passenger screen features 'back' to our Taycan's we'll see how this all...

wow - it's so nice when all this stuff "just works" EA Station in San Mateo - 150 kW - 4 stalls (one non-functional) but I picked a functional one first try- charge started with no hassel (although why does EVERY EA location have crappy cell coverage making it hard to use the app to start a...

https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/coming-ev-batteries-sweep-away-140709581.html it's long been my contention the only problem with EV's is battery weight (but current LiON technology is an acceptable but suboptimal trade off) - and future batteries would drive weight down to below equivalent...

indicate interest on this thread - when a date comes together we'll all plan it on this thread - but if I'm around when the dates work - I'm in!!!

thoughts and write up to come - but tracking a Taycan @ Thunderhill west during March in california with snow on the mountains in the background is the chance of a life time…

UPDATED: posted a wrong link originally - it's been fixed now - thanks to @charliemathilde for catching my cut/paste error. Now that Tesla is rolling out MagicDocks to some/limited North American Supercharger sites (europe doesn't require an adatper) there are two app recommendations for the EV...

this is sad none seen so far at this location

chalk up another "insight" Tesla had early on - leaving the "experience" to an unmotivated "partner" is not the path to success - I'm looking at you VW & EA… Mercedes is pursuing their own charging network because… https://apple.news/A1RaL6unkSJCe4CtPDMsQNA

I felt this deserved it's OWN post… Porsche's recommendation (and other EV vendors) to use a Hubbell Commercial quality socket is 100% spot on - excellent advice and should be followed. No question, just do it - do not accept anything less. if you only do one thing - do THIS thing…it is the...

Porsche blaming the victim - they still don't think they have a design problem…the problem according to is _NOT_ their crappy 10 AWG power supply cable - but rather my "poor" household wiring…

yeah I can't tell the difference between this an a real human - this is not going to be fun.

Porsche seems to be wising up - this is mostly across the board good excellent information and I agree with 99% of it - very interesting that Porsche is now recommending AGAINST using L1 charging with their charger for daily use or for more than 12 hours this is a huge step forward in educating...

Dec. 22, 2023 - UPDATE - we have a RECALL folks!! - details here - new power supply cables mid-2024 - https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/recall-power-outlet-may-cause-charging-cable-to-overheat-20-24-apb6-december-13-2023.18185 I'm tried of collecting all these threads over and over and...

while at the dealership this morning I had some time to kill. Sales manager knows I'm an EV guys - walked me over to a Lucid Air and handed me the keys and suggested I check it while they dealt with some paperwork… I was with a buddy so we decided to check out the Lucid…I did not drive it...

I have a story from today I was at my local Porsche dealer today taking care of some non-Taycan related business and the service manger saw me and came over for some advice from me. You see dealerships do not exist in a vacuum - the Porsche dealership may sell Porsche's but their bread and...

80 minutes wasted today trying to get my local EA stations to charge my 2020 Taycan Turbo - what a joke! customer support is nice, friendly, polite and professional - but ultimately the following vehicle's could not charge today: my 2020 Taycan Turbo a brand new shiny Lucid Air VW ID.4 KIa...

apologies to our non-US participants, but the next week in the US is a time for family, friends, food, travel, arguments that should've never been started, and a gentle reminder as to why we either do, or do not, spend time with family (real, adopted, or imagined) it is also the most taxing...

I've tracked for more than 10 years now - and by far the best instruction/skills I've received for track driving is Ice-Driving and Rally Driving - and one of the best Rally Schools is Dirtfish. If you are serious about your driving skills, and car control skills taking a Rally Course like the...

this will be great for Laguna Seca if they are more than 50 kW…and reliable @bsclywilly this will be great in May when Laguna Seca re-opens - I wonder if these were online Monday…
