I paid for the surround view camera (Premium Package) but it does not work. My dealer is aware of this but has not offered any solution after two months. The car just completed the in shop software update with no change in behavior. Before the software update I could click where the camera...

Me either. Makes no sense if you already have a cell plan and phone,

Appreciate all the input. Just logged into my Porsche account and found this: So, the built in Wi-Fi network to run Wireless Apple CarPlay is ready to serve as a hot spot.

What? Tell the dealer to pound sand, get your deposit back, and get exactly what you want. The car is awesome, by the way. No remorse here.

Wireless Apple CarPlay creates what appears to be a custom 5Ghz Wi-Fi connection to my phone (2021 Taycan). I don't have the password for the 5Ghz connection or for the TAYCAN_2001 signal down below (the signal seems to enable without a password). The connection appears when the phone is in the...

Anyone think Porsche hired Bill Nye (arguably an over-the-top, unrealistic, environmental extremist) to rub some "woke" nonsense on prospective Taycan buyers? You buy a Taycan because it is an amazing restatement of the Porsche driving experience in electric motor form, not because it offers any...

I have driven all 3. The 4S with the Performance Package option is all any rational person needs. Then again, spending over $100,000 for a car is not rational, so why not spend $30,000 more for the Turbo.

Rear wheel steering is a much higher performance priority than Sports Chrono (which on the Taycan is more of a gimmick than a performance enhancement).

Central Florida (residential fixed rate) - $0.08 per kWh. 85 kWh usable battery at 100% SOC = $6.80 for a full charge. Range about 225 miles = $0.0272 per mile estimated. You can do the rest of the math based on miles traveled per year.

Seduced. I drove every EV available in the US before I purchased a Taycan 4S. I took 4 Taycan test drives over 4 months (Turbo S, Turbo, and 4S) before deciding the 4S had the identical driving dynamics as the others and is still too fast for "normal" driving. No reason for me to spend $10s of...

I'm about to leave my 4S for a month as well. Checked with the dealer who suggests keeping the charger connected and set the max SOC at no more than 85%.

You need to have registered the car in your My Porsche account, have turned on Porsche Charging Service, and have a credit card on file. Once this is done, per the Porsche representative I spoke with, EA chargers should automatically recognize a 2021 Taycan. One more detail: There are Privacy...

I plugged in my 2021 Taycan into a 350kw Electrify American charging station and.... nada.... charging failed. No automatic connection. I call EA and a very nice lady authorized a free session. The good news is that the charging was indeed "fast," providing over 100 miles in less than 15...

All my reading suggests that we stick with max 85% charge unless more miles are needed for a road trip. Suggest you search for "ev battery degradation" information.

Replaced a 911 convertible with a Taycan 4S. I also sold my CL550 so the 4S is now my every day driver. Miss the open air but not enough to have any regrets. The Taycan is 5000 pound 911 on the road. A pleasure to drive every day.

No. I would have kept my 911 and waited for an EV with the quality, performance, and driving enjoyment of the Taycan.

Is your Taycan a 2020 or 2021?

There seems an interesting difference between the 2020 and 2021 Taycans regarding turning off the car and locking. The 2020 manual says (Pg 28), "Leaving and locking the vehicle - When you leave the vehicle and take the driver's key with you, the vehicle is locked automatically and switches...

Just got off the phone with a service tech at my local Porsche dealer on this issue. I took delivery of a 2021 Taycan 4S a week ago. His understanding is that you can follow any charging strategy you want so long as you keep the maximum charge level at 85% most of the time, with exceptions for...
