    £100k / $140k Taycan Spec Challenge

    It's always fun to do these!! http://www.porsche-code.com/PNMEB5B7 My 2 cents is to do the packages: Performance Package, Premium Package, Technology Package. Comes to $134k. I left out the Porsche charger because you can get better one for less money from the many options listed on these...

    Let us know how your recall update (Powertrain Shutdown / Loss of Power) went

    Well I took it in for the appointment and explained the issues and in the process found out that they had 9 Taycans in the shop already and one certified Taycan tech. So I decided not to leave it and asked them to schedule me into a time when my car isn't just sitting in the lot for a week...

    TSB for Headrest Rattle

    Thanks for posting! I am bringing mine in tomorrow for a seat rattle (14-way) and will mention this. It's a significant rattle - sounds like something became detached inside the upper back of the seat. Maybe it is different but appreciate the heads up about the TSB.

    Let us know how your recall update (Powertrain Shutdown / Loss of Power) went

    @daveo4EV I'm curious whether your dealer found an issue or was able to adjust your brakes to reduce the soft brake pedal feel? I may have a similar issue and am bringing it in on Wednesday. At low speeds (like under 5 mph), my pedal kind of sinks down as I push it. The brakes don't grab...

    Bloomberg News : Porsche Readies Global Taycan EV Recall to Fix Software Issue

    I also just checked the recall vin lookup site. My 2020 4S has no recalls at this time and my car was updated the week of May 3. Curious indeed.

    How would you spec differently next time?

    As the others have noted, the car is wide and long - it is actually slightly wider than my previous car (Audi A6). I test drove with and without RAS and decided it was worth it for parking lot maneuverability, for low speed turns (onto a side street, into a parking lot etc), u-turns, and it...

    General Profile at 80% or 85%?

    I have a 2020 and used to charge to 85%. Based on the new instructions I now charge to 80%. I don’t really need the range of 85% most of the time so this is fine and I’m guessing that Porsche updated the guidance for a reason.

    Home Chargers - ClipperCreek or ChargePoint?

    I have an HCS-80 installed outside. I bought it from Clipper Creek “factory refurbished” and am happy with it. It’s at a 2nd house - I use the PMCC (in a garage) at my home. The Clipper Creek is tough as nails and I’d have no hesitation recommending it for an outdoor installation. I live in...

    Software Update Has New Features for 2020 Taycans

    FWIW, mine is like this too. My dealer performed the MY20 software update on my car but the OTA module needed to be replaced. I picked up the car to use it while we wait for the module to arrive from Germany. The only thing that doesn't work for me is that I can't login as me so I am logged...

    Software Update Has New Features for 2020 Taycans

    I went back to the EA Burlington, MA mall to try plug&charge again, and unfortunately it did not work. I tried 3 stations there and they all worked by activating the app but none of them worked by just plugging in for plug&charge. It seems that when I thought it worked the first time on...

    Software Update Has New Features for 2020 Taycans

    I did notice the “complimentary charging“ message tonight on the two EA sessions. I do not remember seeing it for my session in Burlington on Saturday when I first got excited that plug and charge was working. I’ll go back there tomorrow to try it again.

    Software Update Has New Features for 2020 Taycans

    Do you see the transactions for any of those sessions in your charge NA app? Or the Connect app? Or the EA app? Maybe when plug and charge works it will register a transaction just like when you initiate the session from your app.

    Software Update Has New Features for 2020 Taycans

    Good news / bad news. I went to two different EA chargers today and both were offering complimentary charging (the good news). I haven't gone back to the charger I used last week - I'll do that tomorrow to check it. The complimentary charging makes it look like plug & charge is working...

    Software Update Has New Features for 2020 Taycans

    @daveo4EV I think suggested that my experience may have been due to the EA station being turned on at no cost due to a malfunction. It is kind of odd that I don't see a record of the charge in the Porsche Charge NA app or the EA app. I didn't have time to try another station over the weekend...

    What’s your Taycan efficiency?

    Here's mine. 4S 20" tires. From Dec 1 - March 15 I ran on Pirrelli snow tires. From Oct - Dec 1 and from March 15+ I'm on the Conti all seasons. Like others, I live in a cold climate so that hurt the efficiency during the winter. And I am a spirited driver :). Really happy with the range as...

    Announced: Software update for 2020 Taycan models ?

    Mine is a MY2020 4S (July 2020 build). There is one odd thing about my plug and charge session today - I don’t see any record of it in the Charging NA app, the Connect app or EA app. Does anyone else who has used plug & charge show a record of the charging session in one of those apps? I was...

    Announced: Software update for 2020 Taycan models ?

    OMG - PLUG AND CHARGE WORKS WITH EA!!! I went to an EA station today, plugged in, the station immediately started whirring, and it quickly and successfully initiated a charging session. No fumbling with the app etc. Just plug and charge :) I brought the car in for the update Monday. They...

    New England Charging -- Boston to Lake Placid

    If you take the pike instead, you will have no problem - you'd need a 15min charge stop in Albany (and there are a couple of backup options). Taking 93/89 is more challenging - EA is putting three new chargers on that route but they aren't there yet. Here's the site and screenshot. Maybe if...

    Announced: Software update for 2020 Taycan models ?

    Mine is looking to be about the same. Dropped it off Monday morning and dealer says that it should be done tomorrow. It sure seems like a slow complex process. In any case, a couple of days is fine with me right now and I'm glad they are doing this for the 2020s.

    New software upgrade

    Awesome - thanks for sharing. Mine went in today for the update. Looking forward to the improvements. I spoke with Porsche NA last week and the agent said there is a Connect app update scheduled "soon" (whatever that means). Maybe that will add the lock/unlock functionality.
