Has anyone else wondered why the car lets you have the seat heating and cooling on at the same time? What's up with that? Is that something anyone would actually choose to do?

I just got my car back from the dealer for warrantee work. This was the 4th time they had the car to fix the same two issues - a rear window brake light problem, and a "WBA Error". This time they finally were able to fix the brake light issue, but not the WBA error. It will have to go back...

I brought my car into service this week, to fix a "WBA" error on the dash, along with some kind of error having to do with the brake light in the rear window. Including when they first tried to fix it when they took delivery of the car in September, this is the fourth time they've had the car...

Is anyone else dissatisfied with the automatic wipers on the Taycan? I've had rain sensor automatic wipers on my BMWs for 15 years, and it "just worked". With the taycan, the wiper speed isn't sufficient to keep the windshield clear. I've tried adjusting it, and can't get it to be fast enough...

I'm putting together an order for winter wheels and tires and I just realized that the tires I'd be getting are not run flats. Should I just get one of those foam tire repair kits? I don't know much about tires, I think I've heard that the repair kits ruin the tires or the TMPS sensors or...

I can’t seem to get the automatic high beams to work. The good to know app says: “High beam is switched on as of 40 mph (60 km/h) and off below 25 mph (40 km/h). High beam is also switched from full high beam illumination to low beam when the camera detects street lighting.” What does this even...

These are 20" Savini SV-F3 wheels, painted in gloss black with a white rim in the body color of the car (cararra white, in my case). These would be for snow tires. The idea is to try to replicate the look of the Mission E wheels. This sort of does it, except that the part painted white isn't...

My windshield wipers are kind of loud. Is this normal? I made a video: Wipers

Normally I take the key out of the car when I leave it in the garage. I've always been afraid that leaving it in could lead to battery drain. My car has been at the dealer's the last few days, and they dropped it off at my house this morning, leaving the key in the car. I decided to keep it...

Is there a way to query the PMCC to see how much electricity it has used for charging?

My car seems to prefer my wife’s phone over mine. Today, when I pulled the car out of the garage, it grabbed her phone even though she was in the house and I was sitting in the car. Is there a way to set a preferred phone? My phone is listed first in the list of phones. Should I delete her phone...

I am ordering some winter wheels, with some custom painting done on them. The wheel dealer needs the paint code for my car (Carrara White Metallic). I looked it up, and think it's "S9R". I found that here: https://www.colors.rs/colorsearch?tag=qEZFoox~BV&searchtype=rs The wheel guy says...

I haven't tried to go faster, and don't think I ever would. Although, I've (ahem) gotten close. But if I recall correctly, the max speed (governor limited) on my last car - a BMW 550, was 160mph. Why is the max on the Taycan 130? I am getting this from the sticker on the dash. I assume it's...

https://www.gmc.com/electric-truck/hummer-ev Just saw an ad on TV for this. First I’ve heard of it. Anyone know anything about it? They are claiming “0-60 in 3 seconds +/-“. The plus minus is funny, but nice to see a gas guzzler brand enter the EV world.

There are few days that I will be driving my car more than 10-20 miles, many days even less. I've been plugging in the car every night, and charging up to 85%. But I don't really need to do that. Does anyone know, in terms of maintaining the battery capacity, would there be any advantage to...

Is the car supposed to lock when you walk away with the key? I thought I've seen that mentioned somewhere. It isn't working in my car...

When I did my orientation when picking up the car at the dealer, my rep had me set my home address in the NAV settings. I was surprised and impressed that it came up with a picture of my house! Presumably it got that from the Google street view database (?). But I haven't seen that since. Is...

(Pls refrain from voting if snow isn’t a concern for you where you live.) Winter tires have been discussed elsewhere, but I thought I'd start a poll. I'm torn as to whether or not to get them. Coming to the AWD Taycan from my RWD BMW, I'm expecting better handling in snow out of the gate...

I've had my Taycan about a month and next week will be making my first trip where I will need to top off the battery. With all the time I've spent on this forum, I'm embarrassed to say that I'm still not sure I understand the best way to find a charging station. If there's a road warrior out...

According to the manual, the car should lock itself when you walk away with the key. This doesn't seem to be working with my car. At least it doesn't work when the car is in my garage (where it is now). I kind of think I have seen it work some of the time... I'm wondering if it needs to see...
