I thought I would share updates on my Taycan journey so far. I continue to really really like this car. Yes it is the best car I have owned. It has some things I'm not a lover of but these are a long way from being deal breakers.
The car
The car handles like a Porsche should. It's amazing...
Great news but my experience in Ireland right now suggests infrastructure is the challenge. While improving here, it feels like we are developing the MVP of facilities (the song and dance being made about a 150kw Charge facilities is now boring!). We should be (1) developing more the back end...
I have had issues over the past week with the App showing the car in privacy mode when it's not. It was resolved by moving close to the car/getting in. I notice this evening though that the issue has resolved!
Thanks for the reply. I've seen my app. quote privacy mode on numerous occasions over the last few months. It normally happens when i'm in an area of poor LTE signal and normally resolves after a few hours.
Right now i am unable to open the rear trunk lid on my TCT4S. I've tried with the button on the car and the two keys but no good.
The frunk and doors all open as expected.
I've locked the car overnight and come back but that did not resolve the issue either. I've checked settings in the PCM and...
Thanks for the reply W1NGE. I suspect the same. When I spoke to them last night they said they had over 20 alerts yesterday from my car. That seems strange as it was parked at work most of the day with me looking at it!
According to Porsche Dublin there has been problems recently with the...
I've just spoken to Porsche Centre Dublin and they have said they've seen a number of issues with the PVTS on a numberer of models over the past few weeks. The issue appears to be related to the service and not the car. I'm booked in for a check up on 26 April. Lets hope it's a service issue...
Last night I made a short 10 minute trip to a local supermarket. En route, I received a message "Key not found", Put key in storage compartment. I done so but at the same time I received a text notification from Vodafone Automotive saying they had received an alert from my car.Please expect a...
As a person who received my new CT4S in January I would recommend:
1. Enjoying the car. It’s amazing. Don’t get too hung up on checking consumption or range over the first 6-8 weeks. just enjoy it!
2. Snack on reading the owners manual. The best learning is driving the car and playing around...
That’s good to know about the leather. Thank you.
Thankfully no heater issues. In fact, I find the heating of seats, steering wheel and windscreen to be excellent. Much faster than my Audi Q7 which I thought was good
Currently praying my comments above don’t jinx the luxury of heating for me??
After 5000km I thought a review of my experiences were in order. I’ve broken my feedback down to what I hope are categories that are important to current and potential owners.
Car details:
Porsche Taycan Cross Truismo 4S

This is the Porsche tracker fob. You would have paid for this at new car collection time (circa €310 in Ireland)
I would have expected the Porsche Centre would have talked through this, it’s features and how it worked on receipt of the car. I’d recommend contacting the dealer to confirm it is...
From what I’ve experienced so far there is multiple factors like SOC, ambient temp, battery temp, EVSE and PCM throttling influencing this answer.
In simple terms though I’ve experienced 240-250kw from Ionity units in Ireland when the SOC is low (<15%), the battery is preconditioned and there...
I've read numerous threads on this forum about dash cams. In summary it appears:
The Porsche Dash cam is expensive, bulky and not very well integrated but likely to be an acceptable accessory if fitted by a Porsche dealer should any electric gremlins develop in the future.
Dash cams from FitCam...
Has anyone else had an issue with then charging planner.
When I add a destination via the in car system the nab destination shows results but the charging planner just hangs as per the screenshot. Any idea what this may be and what may resolve it?
Privacy glass and sports sound - why does it get so much hate?
I have no opinion on the love/Hate commentary but I can give you my opinion and experience as person who recently took delivery of a CT 4S
Sports Sound:
I have this spec'd. I love it in a geeky kinda way but I do not let it on a...
