I ask because my 20K service is coming up at some point, of which the only really important bit is the fluid flush (IMO.) I'm thinking I could reduce the 20K service cost if it's in close enough proximity to the recall work. Or just skip the 20K entirely, as I'm perfectly capable of swapping...

I've had the charger recall show up on Porsche's recall site for several months now. I haven't gotten it taken care of because I don't use their charger, and nobody seems to have the parts. Today when checking recalls I noticed...it's gone! Only the brake hose recall is displayed. Did they...

So after the shocking thread about a shallow dent causing a 72k battery repair, I am really not sure about getting another Porsche EV. In fact I’m strongly considering selling the one I’ve got. My wife has been driving a Model 3 since 2018, and after 120K happy miles we upgraded to the 2024...

The feature where you approach with the key in your pocket and it unlocks when you get close has stopped working. I assumed my battery in the fob was low, but replacing it didn’t fix it. Anyone else have this happen and how did you fix it?

This thread is for the Tesla version of the same trip I made in my Taycan two weeks ago. Mostly this is the same trip save for a couple small detours for goodbyes on the way out. I hope this is interesting to Taycan owners as a comparison between the two cars and charging networks! Watch this...

If you’ve followed my TX->CA road trip thread you might have seen this picture: This is the driveway at my new home, which (so far) I’ve been afraid to attempt in the Taycan. When I rolled up on the edge it felt like I was going to drive right off into an abyss! So far I’ve been parking at...

I made this trip in June of 2021: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/road-trip-report-texas-to-california-round-trip.11386/ This Sunday I’m making it again, this time in a Taycan GTS vs the base original trip. I will also follow it up 1.5 weeks later in a new Tesla Model 3. it will be...

A tiny idiotic rock chip has turned into an absolute nightmare. I took a rock chip coming back from Porsche Palooza '23 - my dealer told me it would be over 11K to repair so I said screw it, I'll live with the star. A month or two ago, the star spread into a full blown crack. My insurance...

I helped my MIL buy a car at a Hyundai dealer...they had Chargepoint and I was running low so I plugged in while we did the deal. I was quite shocked at the rate of $0.70/kWh, apparently set by the dealership. Of course I didn't realize until I was done...

My dealer got back to me and said pano roof replacement is a big job that involves removing the windshield (!) and will cost around 11K. I think I will just live with the chip and inevitable crack at that price. Has anyone else had better luck on replacement?

I had an absolutely glorious drive out, and no problems with Francis Energy chargers: I got checked into the event and found my (non-air) BNB. It was charming and the hosts gracious but the parking was on a very steep slope and I just felt uneasy parking there. It was putting a lot of...

So on my first Taycan, it shipped with Continentals which were straight trash. They didn't wear evenly (or long), and were downright dangerous in the wet. I replaced them with "scary warranty-voiding non-N0" Michelin PS4S and was super happy with the result. Fast forward to my Taycan GTS...

...you're most likely not going to want to fix it. Apparently the replacement requires removing a passenger door, fender liner, etc! Definitely not worth it to me at this time, I'll just deal with it...

After My experience yesterday where a piece of plastic in my charge port prevented charging, I decided I owed the Magic Dock another try. I decided to go back out to Fort Worth after work - this time with a healthy SoC to get me anywhere (including back home) if needed. I specifically used the...

I am getting so extremely frustrated by users of slow charging cars like Bolt (50kW) and Mustang Mach-E (150kW) using the one or two working 350kW units at charger stops! It's the worst when you're counting on a good fast charge and end up losing it due to someone else's ignorance or...

TLDR: Be careful not to break your DC flap inserting the Magic Dock (or any other CCS charger) I decided to drive to Fort Worth this morning to try out the Magic Dock Supercharger. I arrived with pretty low SoC and was a bit stressed, but hey these things work great right? The app and dock...

I saw a poor soul on Facebook post that his battery took some debris damage, piercing and overheating it. Because it was caused by road damage, warranty does not apply. Some commenters suggested he file with insurance, but that's not good news either as it will translate into higher premiums...

Suncoast posted some great spy photos on Facebook of the E-Boxster being charged. I was excited as I'm eager to switch back to a 2 door with open roof ASAP. What I was not excited for was the near universal outpouring of disgust, hate, and overall negative vitriol from fellow Porsche...

Today I decided to enter a trip from here (Dallas TX) to Flagstaff AZ - a case that used to make the charging planner spin infinitely - and was pleasantly surprised that it worked and mapped out all the chargers correctly. I decided to push it further and nav me all the way from Dallas TX to...
