I cancelled (did not renew) my Porsche Connect Services last year and posted about it here. In general, it's fine for me, as I use Apple CarPlay 100% of the time. I've noted lately that I get the error message "Apple Maps is having trouble connecting to your vehicle. Battery percentage may not...

I find the center console wireless phone charger useless. The phone has to be in exactly the right place, and even then it never reliably worked for me. Forget trying to use it with a phone case. Needless to say, I turned it off in the PCM. Today, I found a new use for the holder/clip in the...

What are the group's thoughts on extended warranties? My 2022 Taycan's factory warranty is up in Q3 of this year. In my 2+ years of ownership I've had what I can only describe as a relatively normal reliability experience. Door handle issues (replaced one), a charge door that wouldn't open...

My '22 Taycan GTS was afflicted with the "red ring of death" in December and I posted about it here. I suffered the indignities of a base Macan, followed by the worst-of-both-worlds Cayenne e-Hybrid, posting about it here. But earlier this week I got the call that my battery was fixed and I'm...

For those that have installed home chargers, what do you do with the Porsche mobile connect charger that came with the car? Do you carry it around in the front trunk or back? It's heavy and steals most of the space. Thoughts?

I posted in December about my "red ring of death" battery system fault error message (here). Porsche service picked up the car and ordered six replacement battery modules out of the 33 total. The parts were approved and are en route from Germany, and my service advisor estimates another month of...

Had my car in for the passenger seat sensor recall. Got it back yesterday. Today, went to drive to the grocery store and *bam*! Electrical system error. I’ll let you know what happens….

I purchased my 2022 Taycan GTS in February 2024. In August of this year the included-with-purchase Porsche Connect services expired. The service is $26.49/month ($317.88/year) plus tax on connect-store.porsche.com, with no discounts available that I could find. I decided to let the service...

Saw this at my local Porsche dealer and really love the color. Rubystone Red PTS. The car's listed for $350k. 😲

Make some popcorn and enjoy. 🍿

TLDR: Minor fender bender. Fixed by Porsche body shop. Paid for by the other guy’s insurance. If you‘re going to have an accident, maybe this is one of the better ones to have. I let my son borrow my Taycan (first time… now maybe last time). He drove it to a mid-day event. When the event was...

I'm curious how other owners fare in this area. My driving is typically 60/40 city/highway and I average 45-50 kWh/100mi.

Looking to spruce up my slab grey key fob with colorful, or maybe carbon fiber, key sides. I called my local dealer and they quoted me $129. I looked online and see Suncoast parts, essentially OEM, has them listed for $119 (here), but Ebay has several listed for less than $25 (here and here)...

Got a pop up for a PCM OTA update today! But everything about it said, "This is not the one you really care about." The read-me text says that it's diagnostics related. Install went fine / no issues. Screenshots below. Sorry I don't have J1.1 style, CarPlay in the driver's binnacle, news for...

I read on another forum about someone who created an “update” whereby Apple CarPlay is full screen in the PCM / center screen. The release notes don’t specifically say that it’s compatible with Taycan, but other PCM5 cars are compatible. If our cars (2020-2024 Taycan J1) are compatible, would...

How high does the rear spoiler go? I know it rises at a certain speed (~70 mph). And I believe it goes a little higher in Sport Plus mode. I took the pic below in Sport Plus. What does this translate to on the outside? Thanks!

Never figured I'd spend this much on an upgrade so small. But I did. Is it me, or does it make the car faster (like red sneakers when we were kids)? Radiator Grill Store

I connect via Apple Car Play to my Taycan for nearly every drive. Music volume comes on normally - similar to the volume from my last drive. However, the first phone call always starts at a very high volume and I have to immediately turn it down as the call starts. Anyone else have this issue...

The Lone Star Region Porsche Club (Houston) had its annual Concours event at the Kemah Boardwalk this morning. There were judging groups for the different 911 variants, Boxster / Cayman, and SUVs + Taycan. I did not enter my Taycan, but very much enjoyed seeing some of the cleanest cars around...

Lone Star Region Porsche Club (Houston) hosted a driving tour event today. I signed up, knowing I’d be the only EV and that it would test the range of my 2022 Taycan GTS. The drive started at Buc-ee’s, 40 miles from my house, and the route stretched 140+ miles through twisty Texas roads. After...
