I'm going to a Porsche club drive tomorrow and the group's event leader sent the turn-by-turn route map with links to two hiking and cycling apps. I've never done one of these drives, and the lack of Apple's turn-by-turn nav makes me nervous. I'm sure it'll be fine, but still.... The event...

The tire pressure spec’s for my ‘22 GTS are 41 psi front, 45 psi rear, as indicated on the driver’s door sill. However, the iOS app shows different recommended pressures. I imagine this is because the app doesn’t know that I have 21” wheels versus the stock 20” wheels. Nothing I can do about it...

Perhaps a boring post, but people are quick to vent when things go wrong, so I like to post when things go right. Took a few calls, but I enticed my service advisor at Porsche River Oaks in Houston to order the parts for the brake line recall. I had several other fix-it items on my list, along...

Took a short weekend trip from Houston to Austin in my ’22 Taycan GTS. For the return drive, I charged up to 100% / 230 miles and averaged 37.5 kWh/100mi, or 375 Wh/mi (which is how Tesla always quoted efficiency). This is slightly less efficient than my 2013 Tesla Model S, which averaged 360...

My Apple CarPlay experience has been mostly good in 8 months of ownership. Today, though, something strange started happening. I listen to music in Apple CarPlay, and use Siri frequently to play a different song, send text messages, etc. Today, after Siri spoke, the music never came back on. The...

Drove to MSR Houston last week for a charity event (link) and took these pics of my GTS. Enjoy.

Had the privilege of participating in the Drive For Kids event at MSR Houston, organized by the Lone Star Region Porsche Club. Breakfast and lunch were provided by sponsor Lupe Tortilla, and the event benefited Child Advocates and Arms Wide Adoption, two great charitable organizations that help...

I brought my 2022 Taycan in for service, noting that the door handle touch sensors would not properly lock the car. The car would lock, beep, and immediately unlock. This was repeatable on all four doors, though the key fob would reliably lock the doors. Solution: the dealer replaced all four...

Had my Taycan in for warranty service and when I picked the car up, my service advisor noted that they included the new 240v (NEMA 14-50 plug) adapter for the Porsche Mobile Charger. I won’t use it often, as I purchased a separate HomeFlex EVSE, but it’s good have. The adapter has a much thicker...

It rained yesterday, and because there's no rear wiper on the Taycan (non CT/ST), I often turn on the rear defroster. However, it only stayed on for one minute (literally). Is that normal?

If you could change one thing about your Porsche Taycan, what would it be? Possible answers: * More interior room * More range * NACS charging port * Sunroof that opened * ??? My answer: Manually adjustable climate vents. :mad:

Curious to see average kWh/mi usage figures - mine below. Tesla measures this in Wh/mi, so the number is technically more specific. Interesting enough, in 10 years of driving my 2013 Model S (60), average usage was about 360 Wh/mi. Obviously the Taycan is more focused on sportiness and less on...

When my wife drives the Taycan, is her key fob supposed to automatically choose her seat position and activate her profile in the PCM?

Upgraded my 2013 Tesla Model S to a 2022 Taycan GTS about a month ago and wanted to share my thoughts. Before buying the Taycan I test drove a new Model S and a Lucid Air Touring. The new Model S, though the least expensive of the three, and quite fast, skimped on the interior with faux/vegan...

I'm 99% sure of the answer, but want to ask anyway. Is there any way to configure or change the notifications that appear on my phone for the My Porsche app? For example, I don't need to see "Climate control of your vehicle is complete." Thanks all.

The four icons across the bottom of the Porsche mobile app for lock/unlock, climate, etc., don’t fit when I open the app. Is this how it looks for everyone? This seems like an oversight on Porsche’s part, no? Thoughts? iPhone 14 Pro. No text sizing increases or non-default view settings.

The under-trunk / sub-trunk / trunk cubby (what’s the most common name?) storage is quite small. Is it the same size in all Taycan models? Does the rear-axle steering option or larger motor in the Turbo models impact this space? What do people store in it? Not sure the Porsche Mobile Charger+...

I purchased my Taycan pre-owned and it arrived with the Porsche car cover that I do not need. It's the "official" Porsche cover, listed on Porsche's store site for $379 US. Full description below. Cover is in excellent condition with no rips or tears. It was stuffed in the front trunk, so it's...

I’m coming from a Tesla Model S, which uses regenerative breaking to slow the car when lifting off the accelerator pedal. The brake pedal is purely for friction braking. I know the Taycan blends braking with the brake pedal between regen and friction braking, and that regen is configurable (on...

Looking for opinions on painting versus powder coating the brake calipers on my incoming Taycan GTS. The car has the surface-coated brakes with gloss black calipers, and I'd paint (or powder) them red. Thoughts on which is better? Any personal experiences with one or the other? And if anyone has...
