Late to the discussion, but here’s my experience in case it helps. If you’re charging a Taycan (or any EV with an 11 kW onboard charger), hardwiring an 11.5 kW (48A) unit is the most efficient setup, fewer failure points than a plug and socket. However, for a budget home install, the biggest...

That is an incredibly close call, especially getting dragged that far by a commercial vehicle. Since you walked away "without a scratch," definitely keep monitoring yourself for the next few weeks because adrenaline does a great job of masking soft tissue injuries until the shock wears off. I...

If you want to be 100% sure before buying, ask your dealer’s parts department for the wheel part numbers and compare them in PET or online parts databases. The hub bore and bolt pattern didn’t change between J1.1 and J1.2, and the offset difference is small enough that it won’t cause rubbing or...

That’s at least some progress, even if it took forever just to hear “parts are coming.” You’d think with a software update this big, Porsche would’ve stocked up on modules before lighting the fuse. Hopefully once this first batch gets replaced, they’ll figure out how to shorten the turnaround times.

Getting a new Daytona from an AD is brutal right now, even for long-time customers. Grey market prices are insane. I keep my Rolexes in the safe and rotate other pieces for daily wear. One I wear a lot is a Hamilton I picked up at Rogers & Holland, amazing everyday piece that feels good on the...

Happened to me on my old BMW – mirror just dangled like a chicken wing in the wind. Ended up being that same spring/washer setup. Taking it apart was a bit of a pain, but once you see how it locks in it makes sense

Around 15–20k miles is pretty common for the stock tires on a Taycan 4S, depending on how you drive. The screeching on U-turns usually means they’re starting to wear down or getting harder. Might be a good time to check tread depth or have a shop take a quick look before it gets worse.

From what I’m seeing (and I’ve dealt with a similar situation myself), once there’s any hint of structural/frame damage, insurance usually leans toward a total loss, especially with EVs where repair costs climb fast. In my case, I had a hard time getting straight answers from the adjuster, and...

I've heard some chatter about the battery recalls, but most folks with CPO Taycans haven't had major issues. It might help to ask your dealer about the car’s service records and any battery fixes they've already done.

most Taycans come with digital manuals rather than a full paper booklet. Some owners find that having a downloadable PDF is more convenient since it's easier to update and access on multiple devices.

Given that the Taycan 4 is a BEV, it’s best to find someone who’s experienced with Porsche electric models, as many independent shops may lean more towards traditional gas vehicles. I'd recommend reaching out to a Porsche-certified mechanic or specialist in the N. Bethesda area who can...

Seriously, 60% of delivered Taycans had major battery issues? Sounds a bit far-fetched. According to this site, whistleblowers who expose real fraud or serious issues need legal protection, but that doesn’t mean every rumor is automatically credible.

Try using silicone gel on the seals to prevent sticking, and preheating the car can also help. A software fix like Tesla's would be great, but it doesn’t seem likely from Porsche anytime soon.

The solid choice for harsh winter conditions are Nokian tires. CO will provide you great traction on snow and icy roads with 20" wheels. I know they’ll do well, though: I’ve heard nothing but positive things about Nokians in difficult environments.

Insisting to speak with someone who knows the specifics about Function on Demand.

Recently, I drove through Switzerland, and it was a great trip. The charging stations were easy to find, especially IONITY ones, so no stress there. The views were amazing, although some mountain passes were closed due to snow. Still, it was an awesome experience. Also, for those who might...

Taycan prices are definitely turning heads lately! It seems like young people are really getting into the electric car game, and the Taycan's sleek design and eco-friendly credentials are catching their attention.

It's understandable to have high expectations for OTA updates, especially considering the potential for ongoing improvements and new features that can enhance the user experience of your Taycan. While the frequency and content of OTA updates can vary between different vehicle manufacturers and...

Experiencing your car's horn honking by itself while driving can be alarming and potentially dangerous. There are several potential causes for this issue, but it's crucial to address it promptly to ensure your safety and the safety of others on the road. I do not really know what it is but i...

Seems like a logical system in place, I mean you would want to have the maximum range without sacrifacing too much speed..
