    Android auto (wireless) drops

    Wondering if others are experiencing a problem with Android Auto wireless sudden disconnects. It will just suddenly disconnect when using navigation and playing back an MP3 from the phone's onboard storage. The Android Auto icon on the screen (Porsche) will disappear although the phone appears...

    GM follows Ford with NACS Tesla charge port adoption -- time to ditch CCS1 (at least the physcial design)

    too ironic! I was at that charging station on Sat (Aug 26 2023) and had a terrible experience too. 2 of the stations refused to start charging even though they connected to our vehicle. I was not in my Taycan, instead I was driving my daughters BMW i3 down to LA, so I didn’t try using the...

    USA Taycan insurance.

    +1 for State Farm. I'm paying $106/month for about 7k miles a year, but we have a number of other policies (house, cars, etc) so there are some discounts wrapped into that price. That's for San Jose, CA. You might want to talk to an agent and see if moving another vehicle with the Taycan would...

    Road Damage = $50K Battery Repair

    @thecoloradokid , you might also want to take this up with the local agency responsible for road maintenance. I know that here in California you can make a claim against road damage with Caltrans for things like wheel bends, breaks and tire punctures from a pothole if there has been, I believe...

    Warranty on the Porsche charger?

    If this is the mobile charger (with the 120v or 240v plug), which is what I assumed you were referring to, the reset is in the menu, tap the gear icon and scroll scroll down a few pages to the factor reset option.

    Warranty on the Porsche charger?

    Have you tried doing the factory reset on the unit and going through the limited setup steps again? I was having problems with mine when I got my CPO car (charger had never been used), and after doing a reset it was able to link it to my Porsche account so I can now see the charging logs from...

    Puddle Lights, Practicality Thereof (U.S. market)

    I think the puddle lights are ok, but would prefer a pattern instead of the Porsche script. Our BMW X7 has several stripes that are projected from the side skirts under the front doors. My dad has a Genesis and the projectors are in the mirror. On the Taycan, the projector is a small section of...

    300 miles. DONT say it can’t be done! (2022 Taycan GTS)

    wow, that's fantastic to see! I'm also an owner of a 2022 GTS with the RS wheels and have had the car exactly 1 week as of today, I've put about 300 miles on it but not on a single charge, I do level 1 at home and have done 150kW charging twice, so I'm really just learning the nature of this...

    Android Auto navigation on HUD?

    i recently discovered Android Auto and prefer it over most navigation options, except with the Taycan the turn by turn only shows on the center screen and not on the HUD - at least I haven’t figured out how to make it do that, so I’m only assuming it isn’t supported. My wife’s 2020 BMW X7...

    New SW update Aug 7 2023?

    Here are the version screen shots for reference Going through the component info, it's interesting to see Droid and Apache among the other items. i giess it really is more like a big smart phone after all. Good to see that there is only 1 Audi component there, probably the UI. Porsche should...

    New SW update Aug 7 2023?

    I agree, but having worked in tech for so long I've seen too many cases where not keeping up with patches has bitten users. Not saying you should be a bleeding edge early adopter, but being several versions behind can cause lots of problems too, especially if you suddenly have to update. But to...

    New SW update Aug 7 2023?

    just to update everyone, the dealer did the update and I took delivery of my CPO 2022 GTS (only 200 miles!) and I love it! They didn't provide any explanation of what the update was but I did ask, somewhat cheekily, about why this wasn't an OTA update since that seems to be the direction the...

    New SW update Aug 7 2023?

    I went to pick up my new to me GTS last night from the dealer (open late on a Sunday!) and after filling out the paperwork and getting ready to go home, they informed me that they couldn't release the car since Porsche had just release an update (Monday morning in Germany) and it was a required...

    New 3rd Party Taycan specific Soft Closing Door Mechanism

    Soft close doors are, in my opinion, a missing feature of the Taycan. It has so many other luxury and performance features, it is an odd omission. For those of you saying to just slam it or that it's no needed, I offer that having it as an option would allow you to decide if you want it or not...

    B pillar scratch protector for the interior?

    I'm thinking that it may be possible to buy a piece of something like this on Amazon (link here) and then use a spray adhesive like 3M 77 and apply it over the plastic? Of course it would be better if you can remove the panel first but not sure what's involved with removing it (clips/hidden...

    Race-tex durability and maintenance?

    Thanks all, I really appreciate you sharing your experience. The informal polling responses point to Race-Tex not being a problem with wear or feel.

    B pillar scratch protector for the interior?

    Hello all, I'm shopping for a Taycan and am in the final stages of making a purchase decision, so I'm doing a lot of research before pulling the trigger. My question to all of you owners is about the b-piller interior plastic (or leather) getting scratched as you get out of the car. I've noticed...

    Race-tex durability and maintenance?

    I'm likely to be a new owner of a Taycan in the next few weeks and I'm probably over-analyzing everything, but that's just the way I am I guess. I didn't custom order it but instead found one on a dealer lot that was nicely equipped and pretty close to what I would do if I was to custom order...
