    New owner - Regen - On, Off or Auto? What does it do?

    I'm also new and never used it until the last month or so when I decided to see if it helped with range. 98% of my driving is in-town where my miles/kWh is really low. I have not seen any material impact on range but maybe it's just me. Between "on" and "auto" I do prefer auto as I like to...

    WTH??? Is anyone else sick of getting RECALL AFTER RECALL???

    I got the same letter; called the most senior dealer service guy; he did not know what ARB7 was and showed no open recalls on my car. I called the number on the letter (PCNA) and they were unaware of the letter, also showed no open recalls on my car. Advice was to take the car to the dealer...

    Speed camera alert (UK/EU) which works with PCM?

    I use Waze in the background just for camera and other alerts but I use the PCM nav most of the time.

    Four years in - my best range number yet!

    My car's range is not even remotely accurate. On this charge, to 80%, the car showed 220 mile range. It's now down to 25% showing 63 miles range (suggesting 252 mile range) but the car has only traveled 105 miles. If I had 63 miles left then my range was only 168 miles vs the indicated 220...

    Tycan 4s Battery Recall - Beware

    @Cherryjock - Thanks for the PDF. I've not seen anything like that in the US. It's super frustrating as the dealer gives bad information, PCNA sends you to the dealer, and formal communications like this is not happening.

    Huge range increase after recent software updates

    I'm also interested in what update you are referring to. I never see over 3 miles/kwh. I have seen a 2.9 back in April but now in the summer in FL I'm getting 2.7 best case. Most of the time I'm well below that due to traffic and AC. I did see a drop when I upgraded to 21" wheels; my best...

    Looking for input on range - Confused

    Thanks for everyone's response; very helpful. My big question is what range are people actually seeing on a 4s with 21" wheels and PBP? My second dumb question is what conditions lead to better range? In my SUV I can get on the highway and set the cruse at 70 and get 24. I get 12 around...

    Looking for input on range - Confused

    I have a 21 Taycan 4S with the PBP. I'm in the "charge to 80%" crowd so I have the car setup to do that. I plugged in last night with 53 miles remaining and 21% shown on the battery indicator. I charged to 80% and my ChargePoint charger showed that it added 107 miles. That would suggest that...

    My first Porsche

    Congrats!! Love the color, I really wanted that color but could not find one spec'ed the way I wanted it. I bought one in Jan and did a few upgrades. I put in the puddle lights, picked up the carbon fiber wheels (I had standard 20" wheels) and because I had a boring silver (already have a...

    Panoramic Roof Removable Sunshade

    Thanks for the tip; I'll keep that in mind. I'm in FL and it's already 85-90F here. I don't have an issue with the top (yet) but I feel heat radiating from the windshield (have tint on the. sides). I'm going to get the windshield done and wait to see if I need something for the top when we...

    POLL - How much would you pay for Porsche Connect

    IMO there are two things here. Data connection in the car which in the US adding an apple device to your phone plan is pretty cheap (Watch is $5/mth - Ipad is $20/mth unlimited data) so I'd pay $5-$10 for OTA monitoring and updates. For wifi in the car and the apps I'd pay more but frankly the...

    Time to file for Arbitration against Porsche NA - battery cell recall

    I would totally do that! ps. I bought a new GX550 (3rd GX in 19 years); 3K miles in the MPG is 12.2. It's like they didn't even try...

    Time to file for Arbitration against Porsche NA - battery cell recall

    In my experience a class action was the wrong approach on this. If it is ever settled then we will get pennies on the dollar and the attorneys will make a killing. This should have been approached like the 991.1 GT3 problems where a group of owners had a dialog and an in-person meeting, with...

    PCNA Monitoring Battery Cells Remotely But Customer has to pay $300 plus Per Yr for monitoring

    That's interesting. I do use the other apps and have my son's iPad and Nintendo connected in the car so I'm still fine with a data plan...

    PCNA Monitoring Battery Cells Remotely But Customer has to pay $300 plus Per Yr for monitoring

    FYI - I spoke to my dealer and they had not idea what I was talking about; I sent them the email. I spoke to PCNA and they quickly confirmed that remote monitoring was enabled; they could see the car on their end. I asked about steps and timeframe from here; no info at this time. I did...

    PCNA Monitoring Battery Cells Remotely But Customer has to pay $300 plus Per Yr for monitoring

    @moon How much do you get paid for your phone? You do get something for it. If you don’t like your data being collected move to a 3rd world county and buy a 20 year old car or just take your car to the dealer…

    PCNA Monitoring Battery Cells Remotely But Customer has to pay $300 plus Per Yr for monitoring

    IMO over the air updates, nav updates, and some apps make the $300 worth it. You pay a huge Porsche tax, in terms of hourly rate/parts costs, whenever you service a car at a Porsche dealer and you knew that when you bought the car and you are complaining about spending $25/mo to get OTA...

    This is why I love Taycan integrated screen design

    I don’t like the ipad look in a lot of EV’s. Just not my thing. I do like the Taycan look but would appreciate a larger center screen; not huge just a bit larger. I also have the passenger display and really dislike the lack of flexibility in terms of apps. They should have easy access to...
