    Porsche Reimbursement for a non-Porsche wall charger

    Hmm... I submitted back in late April / early May, nothing for a while, then followed up a few weeks ago and nothing. Going to be mad if this has ended and they just never got around to processing mine...

    Still after 4 years - probably the best looking car I'll ever drive

    Yup. Even on days when I don't leave the confines of my home (I work from home) I still head to the garage and say hello to mine. Yes, call me crazy, I talk to mine. I'd heard these cars attract attention, but I'm still amazed at the attention. The ~70yro woman in a Lexus taking pictures at a...

    EA getting better?

    Funny this thread popped up right after I finished my first real road trip where I was reliant upon the US charging infrastructure. Atlanta -> Greenville -> Kershaw / Camden -> Atlanta (via Augusta). I went up for to Carolina Motorsports Park for a HPDE weekend to test our Champcar. South...

    Am I crazy?

    After seeing this I might have to setup another security camera, but inside my garage and pointed at my car ?

    Am I crazy?

    I've "forgotten" to buy items at the store and drove back. I've decided we "needed" something from the store we definitely didn't need. I've regularly checked the mail KNOWING there isn't any just to walk through the garage to see the car. I've looked at pictures of the car on my phone when...

    Car shipping/delivery experience

    Ah, I see. Has the dealer refused to provide the information or they just haven't offered it up proactively? The dealer I worked with used the same shipping company regularly, answered all my questions, and had the shipper contact me to arrange payment and a few details about delivery. I...

    Car shipping/delivery experience

    Below is a very long way to say "yeah, probably makes sense." Distance is going to play a large factor here, as well as other loads / stops the driver needs to make. I had mine shipped (enclosed trailer) from Oklahoma to Georgia. Dealer had the shipping company reach out to me for payment...

    Location! Location! Location! Post Artistic Photos of Your Taycan with Scenery

    I know it's against the rules of the thread to post links instead of photos ? Had my car ceramic coated last week. The folks who did it uploaded an artsy reel to Instagram. Of course they had to include the shot of the dirty floor mat ?‍♂️.

    TSB for recall APB6 – Charging Cable Porsche Mobile Charger with NEMA Plug - May 17, 2024

    Some dealers have been receiving the parts, so likely you were outside the scope currently receiving the part or the dealer just hasn't had an "allocation" of the part yet. My dealer replaced mine back in mid May.

    New Charger-related recall (for the 240 V cable) (NHTSA ID 23V-841)

    To my understanding the part just started going out very recently, which is likely why it hasn't been previously addressed. I'm curious why the stop sale though. Surely dealers haven't had to hold the sale of used cars for the last few months waiting on the replacement? Perhaps because the fix...

    New Charger-related recall (for the 240 V cable) (NHTSA ID 23V-841)

    Given I posted a picture of the new cable literally in my hand on May 22nd, the person filing the complaint needs to aim their gripes a little more locally.

    New Charger-related recall (for the 240 V cable) (NHTSA ID 23V-841)

    TL;DR - abandoned the test due to electrician's sloppy labor. I started down the path of charging with the fixed cable and wanted to let it eat for a bit before adding any artificial heat. It was running faster than what I have my ChargePoint set to. The Porsche supplied equipment was...

    New Charger-related recall (for the 240 V cable) (NHTSA ID 23V-841)

    The charger let me set it to 100%, and the car hit 8.4kW. 240V/50A line. I don't have time at the moment to monitor plug temps so I stopped the charge in order to come back later when I have a bit of time. One factor with temps, however, is I use a 14-50 to 6-50 adapter (originally plumed 240...

    Which drive mode do you use for driving in city and high way?

    Normal in the lowest height setting almost exclusively. I don't see much benefit in the harsher ride around town on meh roads. There is the occasional Sport Plus for launch control from a light when I indulge my inner hoonigan. On some fun mountain roads heading to the track last week I did put...

    New Charger-related recall (for the 240 V cable) (NHTSA ID 23V-841)

    My car was in for the HV Heater replacement already, so technically it was in the shop. I don't know if (or why) taking the car in would be required though. This was for the standard charger, not the connect+. The invoice stated they replaced the cable from the outlet to the charger box and...

    New Charger-related recall (for the 240 V cable) (NHTSA ID 23V-841)

    Just got mine replaced. 8 gauge is what I'm seeing unless I'm mistaken.

    Porsche Swag and Heater Fix

    <James May Voice> Good News! </James May Voice> Part arrived early and I collected the car this afternoon. Sadly, and to bring this back to the original topic, no swag ?. I'll just be happy it came home before a 5-day weekend and I can enjoy it ?.
