    Small weekend project for my incoming Taycan RWD

    The evening is kind of slow so I thought I would share a few details surrounding yesterday's project of fitting OEM Porsche center caps to my Vorsteiner VFF-109 wheels. While most Porsche models are equipped with 75mm center caps, to include the plain jane 19” wheels that we ordered our car...

    Advice on dealing with Porsche on New Taycan Failure

    Actually I am lowering my car on day one with the CETE active suspension control. Not quite sure about any tuning capabilities yet, but we have a 992 if we want to go fast. Our Taycan is still at port in CA, hopefully it will arrive at the end of the month.

    Charging at home (outside) without a Garage!

    My daughter left her Audi eTron charger outside for 3 years with no issues, used it on 120 every night with an extension cord from the side of her house. It's pretty much the same as the PMCC. The bag the charger came in is 100% identical to the bag the PMCC comes in.

    This is a nice charger

    I was watching this the other day on YouTube. There are some other exciting future products coming such as a 7.6kW solar inverter with bi-directional charging (dual charger) starting at $1500USD

    Buy/Finance vs. Lease - Pros & Cons

    Lease buy rate is .00200 right now, anything more is dealer markup to the rate. That is how they make profit, especially when they concede $$ elsewhere in the deal. If you use a base of exactly $100K for the car (easy round number and add nothing else into equation) 36 monthly lease payment is...

    Availability of Fast DC Charging in the United States

    That's fine with me. There are exactly zero 200kW Superchargers anywhere near me (within a 2500 mile radius) and only one CCS 200kW.

    delivery of taycan rwd

    I would accept the car at the dealer because you will more than likely want to set up the Porsche Connect and get a thorough explanation of the features, benefits and how to access any reference material (i.e. vehicle manual) in the future. If they are willing to send a Porsche Ambassador to...

    Anyone used Tesla supercharger yet?

    FWIW my wife has attended several Porsche focus groups surrounding the future of electric vehicle technology and user experience. One of the common themes in each of the focus groups is the concept of inductive charging similar to that of current mobile phones. Not only did the virtual...

    PSA, Very Useful Information Regarding 12V Battery Issues and a Potential Solution.

    I spoke with the folks at Antigravity Batteries and provided them with the OEM 12v battery part number, 9J1-915-105-EY. They are going to research and get back to me what will be the most suitable replacement option they have. Will report back when I receive the reply.

    PSA, Very Useful Information Regarding 12V Battery Issues and a Potential Solution.

    While this was posted on another forum and the information was provided to 992 owners, this may prove useful to Taycan owners too. Please take the time to read. Might be worth a sticky too. Bottom line up front (BLUF). Anti-gravity batteries has a feature on their lightweight lithium battery...

    SplitVolt or NeoCharge Smart Splitters

    While the smart splitter is a neat concept, it is only really accomplishing the same task that can be accomplished manually, which is unplugging one device and plugging in another. It is important to note that 240V household dryers are typically 30amps, which does not have a plug that is...

    Porsche good to know app on Android

    I'm not going to post it up here, but a with quick online search you can easily find the APK download for Good to Know. The latest I could find was V5.12.2. May 29, 2020 which is essentially the same date as the last update to the current iOS app. iOS does not have the 2021MY Taycan listed in...

    Iron X - ferrous metallic contamination remover

    I use Iron-X every few months on my 992 (and in the past on many of my cars). It is definitely safe to use on wheels and plastics. I prefer to work from the bottom up when using it, spraying on wheels first, then rinsing wheels, then move onto the bottom of the car and work up with the spray...

    Some of the mods for our new Taycan RWD

    Not really, for every 25mm that you lower a car, it will typically pick up about .7 degrees of negative camber. Negative camber is not necessarily a bad thing for performance, unless it is coupled with too much toe in or toe out. Porsche typically does a slight bit of toe in on the OEM...

    Tire Pressure for RWD Taycan on 20" Turbo Wheels?

    I always run my tires at full load pressure, on the Taycan 20" it is 33PSI front and 38PSI rear. (These pressures apply to cold values). If setting when hot, add 3-4 degrees to the temp. (36-37 front and 39-40 rear) For example on my 992 Carrera the OEM pressures for the 20" front is 35PSI...

    Some of the mods for our new Taycan RWD

    https://www.active-sound.eu/en/porsche/taycan/taycan-9j1/active-suspension-control-porsche-taycan-9j1-air-suspension The marketing material for the Taycan is not quite up to par as they are using a Panamera in the description and the video to show the operation is a Macan.
