    OTA Software Update (July 17, 2023)!

    Key word here--Upcoming. I’m guessing they haven't released this one yet.

    OTA Software Update (July 17, 2023)!

    Porsche excels at confusing and contradictory communications. So which is it? Like most of you, my PCM doesn't show any new updates and that the system is “Up to date.” Just for kicks though I scheduled an appointment at the dealer for next Thursday to apply any updates the car may need. The...

    Help I’m in a cult!

    You've described in almost perfect, parallel detail my experience with my 2015 Model S 85D and exactly why I'm now driving a Taycan 4S. As the Porsche ad says, “Nothing Even Comes Close” to matching the incredible experience I've had with my Taycan. I simply love this car. My only gripe, is...

    Homelink Pro Tip

    Well, I don't know what to say other than that since I changed out the light bulb to an incandescent everything works perfectly and it's been months.

    Porsche Developing 800 mile Solid State Battery

    Let's hope Porsche makes a retrofit version for our Taycans when it's released. https://apple.news/AwsB3ng-QTEywhh--EcG7hg

    How does your Taycan feel after 15-20K miles?

    Yep. In fact, I think it's even better with the various software updates and my comfort level with the car after an admitted learning curve. And the car is as tight as it was the day I got it. I appreciate and love my Taycan now more than ever.

    Apple Maps via Carplay Now Supports EV Charging for Taycan

    Waze is truly handy for real-time traffic, road closures, crashes, cops, etc., but in my opinion, it's too cluttered to use as a navigation tool. It is great for what's determining what's going around you as you drive though.

    Setting up 80-100A home charging: Porsche charger vs Lucid Home Charger

    I charge my Taycan with my old Gen. 2 Telsa charger and a TeslaTap adapter and it works like a charm. I also use it to charge my wife’s Audi Q4. The current Tesla charger is even better and it's less expensive than the alternatives. https://shop.tesla.com/product/wall-connector

    Negotiating

    Grind the shit out of the dealer! You're in control--nothing less than 20% discount. And get them to throw in an extended warranty. And a backpack!

    Turo

    Don't forget Turo’s commission of 25% to facilitate the booking. On top of that, Turo charges a couple of other mandatory fees totaling approx. $40-50/rental. And finally, Turo expects you to wash the car prior to the rental, so figure another $30/rental. Turo does handle the insurance, but...

    Turo

    I read a story the other day about a guy who put his brand-new 2022 Toyota Supra on Turo. He got a 3-day rental from a high school math teacher and he figured, the guys a math teacher, what could go wrong. Well, it turned out that the math teacher also had a Supra which he trashed while...
