    Night Vision Assist - Worth It?

    I have it also and I love it. The only thing I don't like is that the warnings are deactivated under certain atmospheric conditions. If you can afford it buy it. For me a no brainer. It might save your $150,000 car! I tried not to buy the sound option, but they told me they wouldn't sell me the...

    Poll: Electrify America Failure Rate

    I use a local EA station and don't have any trouble. I just took a road trip from Goshen, AR to Ft. Worth and charged using EV Gateway on the way down and EA exclusively (2) on the way back EA- No failures, but I had an app failure in Denton where I plugged it in and got a message that it had...

    Day after purchasing Taycan 4S Electrical system error and bricked car in the middle of the highway.

    This is very confusing. I don't know how the car could be in production and not have more than the 1,000 that are currently on the list. The only thing I can think of is that a previously install campaign put bad software in the cars. There is not enough detailed information to make an...

    Day after purchasing Taycan 4S Electrical system error and bricked car in the middle of the highway.

    I hope this is news. I have looked up on the NHTSA site and my 2020 4S is not listed as needing a recall. I talked to my dealer and and he did not find there was a recall for my VIN. I gave him the AMB5 (STOP DELIVERY--REPROGRAMING POWER ELECTRONICS) recall and my vehicle was not listed...

    Day after purchasing Taycan 4S Electrical system error and bricked car in the middle of the highway.

    I'm wondering if you keep an eye on the 12 voltage if you will get an early indication of the problem which will enable you to pull over and restart car. Chuck J

    Day after purchasing Taycan 4S Electrical system error and bricked car in the middle of the highway.

    Plus, Keith I have had mine almost 11 months now without any issues and I constantly display 12v battery voltage. I have not had any of the three compaigns out there. I'm wondering if keeping an eye to ensure the battery is at the propper voltage is fufficient to not be surprised by a...

    Day after purchasing Taycan 4S Electrical system error and bricked car in the middle of the highway.

    I think AMB5 is the fix for the problem. I was wondering if the WMA5 might have caused the issue. Chuck J

    Day after purchasing Taycan 4S Electrical system error and bricked car in the middle of the highway.

    The VERGE just posted an an article about this problem here. https://www.theverge.com/2021/7/2/22559051/porsche-taycan-ev-recall-12-volt-audi-etron-gt It doesn't mention that is only applies to cars with the WMA5 update, but it does say it applies to some (not all) cars. It also says that it...

    Day after purchasing Taycan 4S Electrical system error and bricked car in the middle of the highway.

    PCNA CEO was on Squawk Box yesterday and described that they knew they had the problem, that it was software issue and had a fix ready to be installed. The software update is said to take 90 minutes to apply. I have talked to two dealerships since then and they know nothing about the issue. I...

    Porsche Intelligent Range Manager Worth having?

    I got the Intelligent range manager and find it horrible. ABRP is much better. The Porsche planning system routed me 2 hours honger on my trip. It does near nothing right. The only worse piece of software is the Porsche Connect. Thank God they got the rest of the car right. I have been driving...

    Taycan charges to 100% despite profile

    I think it should say min, not maximum. If you are setting it to something that says maximum you are probably in the wrong spot. Chuck J

    EV Gateway

    In case you haven't discovered EV Gateway, it might be good to know. They have lots of 200 KW stations and they seem to be very reliable and responsive in their support line. They have an RFID card that is very thin, links directly to an account you set up and is very easy to use at their...
