In Europe, it's due to regulation: under EC/ECE Regulation 75/443/EEC and more recent approvals, when tested at 40, 80 and 120 km/h and all speeds between them: A speedometer may read up to approximately 10% above the true speed plus 4 km/h It must never be below the actual speed. The...

No, per my posting above, that PIN does not stop the car being driven, it only protects your personal data. You can still drive/steal the car without access to personal data in the PCM. Useless except for the privacy-obsessed. (Same for "privacy mode" - I've never met anyone who has used it...

Or (as they do in the UK) fish out the key using a pole through the letterbox. Or steal a handbag. The ease and prevalence of stealing car keys to steal cars, is why we need the option of a PIN to lock the car from starting. Every Tesla has this; I once had a BMW which did this (using the...

Got to love the cyclical nature of disinformation. Ai makes something up, someone posts it here, AI reads it and decides it's the "view of the Taycan community" therefore solid information .... and so on :) See also: using glue on pizza

Occasionally the sensors and/or cameras will be unable to see sufficiently clearly so the vehicle hands control fully to the drive. Everything usually comes back after a few minutes and sometimes pulling up to do a power cycle. And sometimes wiping the sensor, if it's been muddy or lots of...

As you are in a J1.2, the nice new battery screen will show you the maximum power that the vehicle can accept given its state of charge and temperature. This is very helpful in determining whether it is your vehicle or the charge provider that is throttling.

this is new in the J1.2. In the earlier J.1 cars phones would overheat if doing wireless charging plus other activity.

On a J1.2 Taycan (different comms architecture from the J.1) I am finding that destinations created on the MyPorsche app do not reach the car even under simplified and controlled conditions eg: - the destination is a straightforward local address selected in the app (not shared from another...

There is very little difference, with the marked exception of these two very good changes in J1.2: 1. You can set the target charge level with a simple slider, no more stupid and unintuitive timers and profiles (the cause of 100 posts in this forum) 2. On the binnacle display you can see the...

Pleased I had seen this post, because the same happened to me. Hit a bump with one wheel, got a yellow Chassis error message. At that point it was clear that Active Ride was disengaged because the ride was very bumpy. Drove to the next stopping point, power off, power on, all ok again.

That is probably out of line with their agreement with Porsche. Suggest you get the manager to change that policy. They do have other chargers eg 22kW, which are for use by them. But the main DC chargers are supposed to be public.

Yes, it has CarPlay and Android Auto. The main reason people look for a phone mount is because Porsche has chosen the ugliest, most inconvenient phone charging location in the history of cars :-). With the J.1 Taycan it is not only inconvenient but will also overheat. Or not charge. With the...

The manual comes in a hard cover wallet which slides in there.

The car industry has really missed a whole technology wave here. They should be giving us a customised digital manual, which automatically includes exactly the option set for our car and not pages and pages of other stuff that you don’t know whether your vehicle has. Then for a premium car like...

This is Porsche dealerships, not the charging lounges. Dealerships are typically locked at night, at least in the UK - and typically have a pair of fast chargers somewhere near the entrance door, with a few exceptions like South Lakes where the charger has always been outside the gates.

Heard a rumour today that (at least in the UK) there is a new rule that Porsche Centres are now required to install chargers outside their gates where they can be accessed after hours. Some won't have enough power into the site to run additional chargers -- for example mine is only allowing the...

His advice is pretty sound although certainly explained in a cumbersome way

Spreadsheet time! As at today's prices: Porsche Charging Service Plus: £168pa gets you Ionity, Porsche dealers and Charging Lounges, and a few other places in Europe at 39p (and lots of others at 59p plus blocking fee after 60 min) Ionity: £87pa gets you Ionity at 43p (and nothing else). I'll...

Counting down until we see this post cloned all over the internet with no context by EV haters, extrapolated into "all Taycans will catch fire" 10,9, 8...

Super. Although it's quite amusing that they think we will be going for "a break by the North Sea" as Winter settles on us all :) I've been to a couple of these Charging Lounges and they are a great idea. Although one was constructed across the road from an OPC and I think everyone went there...
