    May 2026 Trip, Massachusetts to Minnesota Roundtrip (3100 miles)

    I don't charge at DCFC stations all that often, but I've hit 300+kw at multiple different EA chargers before (the J1.2 really can do that). But MB opened a charger in New Haven and yeah, why would I go to the 4-slot EA charger when the 10-slot MB is right there? Since that's my most common...

    I tried the Zunsport grills and I like them

    I pressure-wash mine all the time and haven't had any problems. The black finish seems very tough.

    Radar Detector Recommendations

    I too am a long-time Valentine One fan. I don't think anyone has mentioned the Android-only JBV1 app yet. That really transforms a V1 into something more powerful, with crowd-sourced warnings, speed camera databases, and a bunch of other stuff. There's also V1Driver, which is available for Apple...

    Right charging port impaired

    I don't think it's right-hand drive weirdness - it's because the doors are set up so that only one can be open at a time. A bad sensor on either side can cause the other door not to be able to open, and the car doesn't do a good job of reporting what the sensors are actually telling it. I would...

    Right charging port impaired

    I had this problem for several months, starting when my car was new. I read all the forum postings I could find about it while it was going on, and I don't remember finding any where this problem was fixed by any software updates. Eventually after several visits and a lot of loaner-Macan...

    My Porsche app latest update

    Sigh. Porsche and their software. This is what I get in the new version of the app: I'm sure this will get quietly fixed behind the scenes at some point. It worked before.

    [March 2026 Update] - Porsche's ONLY OTA update hobbles North American Taycans to max 9.6 kW charge rate…

    I did not mean to imply that it was the update of the PCM itself to version 4360 that reduced the charging speed. It's a convenient shorthand I was using to describe a larger update, since the PCM version is one of the few version numbers we have access to. But in fact the big update I...

    [March 2026 Update] - Porsche's ONLY OTA update hobbles North American Taycans to max 9.6 kW charge rate…

    That is puzzling. After @ct14garage's thread about the flaw in the 22 KW OBC, I've been of the opinion that the 11 KW OBC must suffer from a similar design flaw, and that's why Porsche have wanted to derate it. It would be interesting to know which version of the control software we're actually...

    [March 2026 Update] - Porsche's ONLY OTA update hobbles North American Taycans to max 9.6 kW charge rate…

    A ChargePoint Flex hardwired on a 60A breaker. It logs charges, which was handy when I started noticing the reduced charge rate and then wondered if I had been imagining things before the update. It also happily charges our other EV (Kia EV6) at 11KW to this day. Here's an example from 2024 (I...

    [March 2026 Update] - Porsche's ONLY OTA update hobbles North American Taycans to max 9.6 kW charge rate…

    My J1.2 also charged at 48A/10.6KW when it was new. The major update that brought the PCM version to 4360 also reduced the maximum A/C charging speed to 40A/9.6KW. (That update was done at the dealer, not OTA). As others have mentioned, dealers either have no information or aren't allowed to...

    TSB: Noise Complaints on Loudspeakers - Rattling/Clattering/Whirring - Feb. 19, 2026

    There are some good videos on removing Taycan door panels. Here's one I found helpful. Most of them gloss over the exact locations of the two Torx bolts you have to remove. They're both T20s if I remember right. Here's another video that shows their locations more clearly. One thing they don't...

    Service update - Details provided / more information provided by Porsche / Corrected.

    The last time I visited the dealer I got this: As a cappuccino, it was so-so. As a Taycan, I dunno, one corner and it was all over the road. I did finish it before it depreciated though.

    TSB: Noise Complaints on Loudspeakers - Rattling/Clattering/Whirring - Feb. 19, 2026

    I found one more picture, from when I did the other door a couple of weeks later. This one shows the gray fiber mat that you'll find inside the door card. I reinstalled this after attaching the CLD squares. There's room for more of this kind of material, but it was back-ordered when I did this...

    TSB: Noise Complaints on Loudspeakers - Rattling/Clattering/Whirring - Feb. 19, 2026

    Happy to. I also just realized that I forgot to mention one of the things I did. There's another TSB that describes how to handle noise from the Bose midrange driver by adding a trio of 1mm washers. This moves the driver 1mm further back from the grille in the door card, and prevents (hopefully)...

    TSB: Noise Complaints on Loudspeakers - Rattling/Clattering/Whirring - Feb. 19, 2026

    I had rattles in both front doors with music playing since the car was new. It drove me nuts too. I think I had the car in to the dealer 3 times about this. The first time was a bust, they couldn't reproduce it. The second time I dropped off the car with a track queued up that caused...

    Taycan Repair Video

    I may have been watching too many car videos on YouTube in recent weeks, because today this one popped up unasked. In short, they've got a Taycan with a burned-out inverter, then things escalate. I couldn't refuse a chance to watch someone take apart the rear motor assembly. It's just...

    Tayberius III First Voyage - Comparing J1 and J1.2

    This still exists on the J1.2, and the setting persists through power-offs. The car won't let you turn it on or off unless you're in park though, which is a really odd choice given how distracted you can get interacting with the PCM in other ways. But for whatever reason this toggle was too...

    WTB - Taycan without panoramic roof (nothing less than 4S). Dark color preferable

    They definitely exist - my 25 4s has the aluminum roof. But I'm not sure if I've seen another one, and a quick check on my dealer's website shows only 4 Taycans available, and all have the glass. Good luck with your search!

    FS: Set of 21" all-season Taycan tires

    The fronts are dated 4723 and 4923; the rears are both 0924. Also, I dropped the price in hopes they can find a home and I can have the space back in my garage.
