FWIW, my 2020 Turbo is at the dealer having the driver's side charging door mechanism replaced (I have the motorized charge flaps). They determined that there was a problem with the limit sensors in the actuator mechanism that was leading to intermittent issues with the door, and they're...

Didn't you find that it was technically speaking some weird ISO protocol that wasn't strictly J1772? I seem to recall something like that being related to the issues you saw with charging your Tesla...

Works great with both my BMW i3 and my wife's VW ID.4, but I have a feeling that's because they all speak a similar German dialect...

Most of them have been addressed (wireless CarPlay, 'smart lift' location-based suspension setting, 12V issues, and mostly the location-based Homelink issues), mostly in the Spring 2021 update that all owners were offered. Some such as Plug & Charge are dependent on hardware and will never be...

Yes, it‘s just simple physics.

I‘ve had the Continental all-season 21s on my Turbo since new (30k miles now). I’ve replaced one set with the identical tire. The bad news is that the all-season Continental tires do not grip as well as either of the Summer tires available for the 21-inch wheels. That said, there’s still plenty...

I am late to this resurrection of the thread, but I would direct people to consider the wonderful 3D-printed solution created by one of our forum members. I've been a very happy user for a couple of years now...

Agreed. In general, automakers have done a very bad job with software, and have tended to shy away from opening up work on older cars absent some major safety issue where government regulators get involved. The one thing that gives me hope is Porsche's overall track record with respect to...

Agreed. Here's Maryland's info page with a link to the complaint form: https://www.marylandattorneygeneral.gov/Pages/CPD/lemon.aspx

I’m sorry to hear that you’re having such a bad experience. It honestly sounds like it might be worth exploring a lemon law claim in your case. Though I don’t know what software/PCM problems you’re experiencing. In general, there’s almost nothing that a dealer can do about a software or...

Sorry, just saw this thread. I live in Chevy Chase, MD (right at the DC line), but my dad lives in Havre de Grace, and I am quite frequently blasting through backroads in Harford County. Who knows, you may have seen my car! Based on reviews I had seen, I’ve been taking my car to Porsche Silver...

What are the issues you’ve taken to the dealer? I’m curious to know if they’re things which are fixed in other cars, or if they’re more general Taycan issues that are still awaiting a software fix. Also, which dealer have you been working with? I’m curious as I’m in Chevy Chase and I’ve had...

I’d be careful about those stories. While it’s true that EVs likely have higher tire-related emissions, they are lower in local emissions broadly (no tailpipe emissions) and also lower in creating environmental pollutants such as those from brake dust (less brake wear due to regenerative...

In fact, my understanding is that the pack was specifically designed to be serviced by replacing the modules. The pack contains a lot of other capability and function--especially a coolant circulation system as well as a major structural piece of the car.

I'd be happy to participate, but didn't see any option to do so...

It's worth noting that's an entire pack, not just the batteries. I've heard that the parts for the actual battery replacement are around $18K USD, which is in line with "other brands + Porsche tax" pricing.

Amen. I'm deeply suspicious of Musk, but I also have to concede that the NACS connector is a far more elegant solution than the ridiculous 'connector by committee' that we have with CCS1. The more important thing for long-term interoperability is the underlying protocol, and it seems as though...

While I don't love the idea that Musk could be the gatekeeper to North American EV charging, I also am not going to stay up late worrying about it. Electrify America has already announced that they will be adding NACS connectors to future chargers. EVGo was already doing it, albeit at small...

I definitely can’t make Katie’s as I have a commitment this Saturday 8:30-9:30 in DC.

FWIW, I have no issues charging my 2018 BMW i3 (94Ah) with the PMCC. We've also charged my wife's 2021 VW ID.4 with no issues. I suspect that Porsche's test coverage is limited, and perhaps oddly limited to European models.
