    Brake pads

    Probably but that would mean the discs were either really worn down/damaged or that dealership really took advantage of that customer by doing the discs as well. Both PSCB and PCCB rotors are pretty much lifetime unless you track your car. Even the service at 6 years states "brake pads" and not...

    Brake pads

    $12K sounds like more than just the pads at the 6 year interval. Pads, even on the Turbo S with PCCB, are about $1,000 for parts. Even with Porsche labor prices, I don't think a pad brake job should run much more than $2,000.

    How reliable (or unreliable) are these cars.... really ?!?

    Well, you can't really come to a forum and ask that question or even peruse the threads in hopes of answering that question because most people that are on here are here to bitch about something going wrong. No one logs on and then posts about how their car performed flawlessly today.

    Porsche advises not to plug or patch tires on Taycan

    I suppose the question here really isn't CAN you patch a tire but SHOULD you. Punctures in a tire are rarely a perfect circle but more likely jagged which each branch of the jagged split is potential for further splitting with age (kind of like when you get a star crack in your windshield—today...

    Brake Fluid

    Yeah, weird. On Turbo S with Carbon Ceramic, no difference.

    Brake Fluid

    I kind of feel like the people that reported improved feel of the pedal were already overdue for a brake fluid flush so of course "the new brake lines" made their brakes feel better.

    EA Charging

    I wonder what the parameters are to get the free EA charging. When I go to my renewal page, it does not say anything about the free EA charging.

    2025 RWD Tire Pressure question

    Go into vehicle settings and see what your tires are setup for. The door jamb sticker settings are set for a full load—I think. Also, the tire settings could have been done with the wrong pressure which is why you see what you see. Also in the tire settings is where you can zero that out to...

    BAY AREA owners: Where do you mount your Fastrak Flex transponder?

    Sorry don't know the actual names of their products. But you can order this online in your account. If the "flex transponder" is the white box, then no this does not come with that.

    BAY AREA owners: Where do you mount your Fastrak Flex transponder?

    This is in my wife's Audi but more or less the same in my Taycan:

    BAY AREA owners: Where do you mount your Fastrak Flex transponder?

    Do you have the RFID sticker or the old big white box? I have the RFID sticker mounted top center behind the rearview mirror in the black dot pattern and it works great.

    Porsche advises not to plug or patch tires on Taycan

    I would say at 100+ speeds with a patch and you are gambling. Lots of flex and strain in a tire once you get above 80.

    Porsche advises not to plug or patch tires on Taycan

    Probably did not want a paper trail in case you try to push that Z rating and the tire disintegrates. "Nah, we don't plug tires so couldn't have been done by us. Sure don't see anything like that on the service record."

    Porsche advises not to plug or patch tires on Taycan

    That's actually pretty scary. You could easily go to the end of the life of the tire unscathed. But with a puncture and then the plug, the integrity of that tire is seriously compromised. If you drive at low speeds, then you may never have an issue.

    Porsche advises not to plug or patch tires on Taycan

    It's a bit of crap shoot. You can patch anything but then the speed rating gets reduced to 85MPH or whatever the tire manufacturer states—they all have different numbers.

    So, has there really been no credible news…

    I believe they are scientifically called fuel to noise converters...

    PCM Charging Station Search [SOLVED]

    I would lower that 250kw minimum to 50kw. There's not a lot of very high power DC chargers out there. And many high power DC chargers still won't give you the rated output. On multiple occasions, I have connected to 350kw chargers and only got about 80kw of delivery. You really limit the amount...

    Taycan Dead After Vacation

    There are different "levels" in the glove box that you have to negotiate to get it in there. Pretty sure the GB50 that I have is bigger than the GB20 that you have. Your power bank solution may not get you very far. After using the GB20 to get the frunk to open, you are going to have to charge...

    Back Bumper Damage / Replacement

    I mean, it needs body/paint work. The trim piece would probably save you $150. You can't really take any shortcuts. File an insurance claim and just hand it over to them and get it done right.

    Issues with cellphone GPS in the cabin

    Funny enough, my daughter's iPhone 15 Pro really didn't know where the car was in the middle of navigating a route, just yesterday. I have the 16 Pro and have never had the issue.
