    2021 Taycan software update experience

    Mine went in 9.00am last Thursday for the 4hr update and it was still with them midday Friday, at which point I was told the update had “fried” the PCM and it needed a replacement unit, which was on back order from Germany. Apparently it was the third such issue with a Taycan.

    Gloss black paint on the plastic parts

    I’ve just got my Taycan back from the body shop after a few tweaks to the paintwork: Gloss black wing mirror mounts and white lower mirror casing. Colour coded front and rear diffuser and bumper. Reversed the side skirts from white on black to black on white.

    Car died over night…

    It hasn’t been a problem since. The car had been driven every day and had only been left overnight. Reported it to Porsche when in to get PCM sorted, but they just looked blank. My biggest issue now is that after spending £2.5k on a 22Kw 3 phase charger I find that it’s only got an 11Kw on...

    Car died over night…

    It happened to my 4S a few weeks ago; went out to the car and couldn’t get in. Had to call the AA through Porsche Assistance, who had a job to get in too using the “bayonet” key in the main key. He then had to use a charging pack on a terminal in the fuse box to enable me to open the bonnet, so...

    would you buy taycan if it wasn't electric ?

    I had a Panamera Hybrid and loved it. I got my Taycan as a result of the Mission E Concept car and because it was fully electric. I believe that it’s a very good looking car, especially from the front 3/4 angle but loses a little side on. It is nowhere near as practical as the Panamera, either...

    Don Breaks His Taycan - The Saga of the 12v Battery

    It’s currently -1C outside, so sitting in the car for any length of time isn’t really an option?

    Don Breaks His Taycan - The Saga of the 12v Battery

    I left the car switched on and open on my drive, with the key on the passenger seat, but came back to find it had gone to “sleep” and the 12V battery had not charged at all.

    Don Breaks His Taycan - The Saga of the 12v Battery

    Went to my 4S this morning and found it completely dead and no way to open the doors. The PCM and app stopped working 3 weeks ago so nothing to look at either. Tried the mechanical key and this opened the lock but not the door. Eventually called Porsche Assistance who sent the AA (U.K.) out to...

    Car died over night…

    My 4S died overnight and it wasn’t charging. Manual key won’t let me into the car either and APP died 3 weeks ago.

    Car died over night…

    Just tried to get in my 4S this morning to find it totally dead. Of even greater concern is the manual key won’t open the car either. PCM and App stopped working 3 weeks ago and I’m waiting for Porsche to get back to me with a date for it to go in.?

    Car misting up

    Not yet, as it’s a new phenomenon for me and I was going to exhaust trying to sort the AC/Demister out first, but am willing to try anything.
