Could this really be happening? https://finance.yahoo.com/news/white-house-tesla-expand-u-141440366.html

I started the car a couple of minutes ago and, per the email, expected to be logging in and logging out, etc....but NOTHING...has anyone actually gone through the email process: "When prompted, log into your vehicle....." ???

Maybe we are getting closer in the US to accessing Tesla Superchargers? Tesla May Seek Federal Funds To Open Supercharger Network To Public (insideevs.com)

I have PIRM and have been experimenting with how to condition the battery (e.g. heat the battery) while enroute to a "Porsche charger" (e.g EA) in the GPS. The conditioning appears to ONLY work if I put the car in RANGE mode...is that really the only way that conditioning occurs?

So I go to a nice new EA site just opened near me (the site is in Carle Place, New York, USA): The Good News: 1. all the hardware was working 2. Plug and Charge also worked fine 3. the Porsche GPS actually had the (new!) location in it (a pleasant surprise) The Bad News: 4. EA put in 4 brand...

Altho they do not make it easy, I just got a GREEN EZ-Pass that makes my Taycan eligible for 10% discount. Some info here: https://www.thruway.ny.gov/ezpass/greentag.html need to file a new E-ZPass application and specify GREEN as a Plan Code (under Optional Discount Plans). Because the...

I think this is a sign EVs are becoming more mainstream....it will be interesting how this plays out! https://news.yahoo.com/hertz-orders-100-000-model-122940978.html

I had to jack my Taycan recently (nail in tire) and found that the jack points need an adapter (for the floor jack) which is not a "standard" Porsche adapter. Suncoast does not seem to have one and Amazon does not seem to have one. Anybody know where these might be available?

It appears that, while we may be at the bleeding edge, at least we electric car nuts are going in the right direction: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/new-york-gas-vehicle-sales-ban-2035/

After about an hour of driving today, suddenly lost my Car Play today and simply switched to an alternative. But when I got home and removed the iphone from the console wireless charging area, found it was overheated and had suspended normal activity. I'll have to remember that I may not want it...

Because of this forum I was aware of the AMB5 recall and a week ago setup an appointment for Sept 2 (wanted a loaner!). I felt no urgency since the car has been running great for a couple of months and has about 2500 carefree miles on it. By chance, I get the Recall letter today and file it away...

I've been traveling a bit lately and have struggled to find hotels that have EV chargers. I stayed at one in Newport Rhode Island with 6 chargers and that was great...but finding it was difficult. There is an app called EV Hotels that is good in concept and somewhat useful - but it does not...

I thought this might be of interest to some members: https://www.nbcnews.com/business/autos/federal-regulators-warn-risks-firefighters-electrical-vehicle-fires-n1271084 I hope never to have to deal with this issue!

I have been planning a number of East Coast (Northeast) trips including mapping out charger locales enroute. I have been pleasantly surprised by how many EA chargers are in key locales and how "powerful" they are. All, so far, are 350 KW. I am severely disappointed, however, by the lack of...

Has anyone actually contacted Porsche's Customer Service ([email protected])? I have been unpleasantly surprised by their total lack of response to two email (a question about using Electrify America). I did not even get a robo response! This lack of responsiveness seems out of...

Just picked up my new Taycan and am happy (so far) but...Apple Car Play refuses to work on it. The car sees the phone and the phone sees the car and other functionality is fine..but Car Play refuses to pop up (am using the cable to connect). Phone just got updated to 14.5 and am wondering if...

Has anyone been able to get an Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Tax Credit for a residential home garage installation? " Consumers who purchase qualified residential fueling equipment prior to December 31, 2021, may receive a tax credit of up to $1,000. " ( Alternative Fuels Data Center...

I am a total newbie so be nice! I am ordering a new Taycan and will get the mobile charger connect (14-50) . The installation will, ideally, be on the passenger side (near the electrical panel in the garage) BUT I will not have easy access to the passenger side when the car is in the...
