    New sunshine control panoramic roof option. Is it GTS specific?

    Kyle from Out of Spec knows his stuff and says here from LA Auto Show (see around the 9 minute mark) that it is coming to the whole lineup. It will debut first on the GTS Sport Turismo but is coming to the other trims “very soon”. I suspect middle of next year.

    Profile/Timer Interaction

    if I’m understanding this all correctly (which I thought I did but now doubting myself) preferred charging times are relevant if your utility provider gives you a break on rates only during certain windows. If so, set up a profile with a low-ish target charge to reach immediately and then to do...

    Yea or nay on the Thermally and Noise Insulating Glass

    It came standard for me with the Premium Package on the Turbo S so I had no choice. I absolutely love how quiet it is. When parked next to a soccer field with the window up it is literally like I have a mute button for the screaming 13 year olds on the pitch. Almost scary how well it keeps...

    Who do you recommend for insurance?

    That is high. I am in NJ (NYC suburbs) and pay $3,087 annual premium for my wife's 2022 BMW X7 and my 2020 Taycan Turbo S together. Liberty Mutual. That works out to be $258/mo (although I pay the full year in one installment which brings it down to that $3,087). I do have my homeowners with...

    Profile/Timer Interaction

    Thank you, Jeremy. I think the Good to Know app for my MY 2020 Turbo S is different than what you have above (which is presumably for MY 2021) but my software is up to date so maybe it is the same. So if I have this right are you suggesting to have no profile at all and just a daily repeating...

    Profile/Timer Interaction

    Thanks. I did not know about the 30 minute point. That seems to be what it did. It stopped with the timer at the target charge but I was on a work call and so it then started up again to get to 100% (presumably 30 minutes later). I like the sound of a Home profile at 25% preferred times...

    Profile/Timer Interaction

    Thanks. This makes sense. I don't have reduced off peak rates -- it's the same price no matter when I charge (just graduated kWh fees depending on total usage) but I can still follow this.

    Profile/Timer Interaction

    Thanks. I am aware of this but with me working from home a lot I frequently do not know the evening prior what particular time I will need to have the car ready the next day. If I do not have a profile selected and I rely just on a departure timer in this manner then I need to remember to go...

    Profile/Timer Interaction

    Fair point. I am not sure if there is anything wrong with that. I recall reading somewhere that charging and letting the battery then sit, particularly in cold weather, is not optimal for battery health. I assumed that is why the car waits until the last possible time to start charging when...

    Profile/Timer Interaction

    I thought I understood the interaction between charging profiles and timers fairly well but had a couple of questions I cannot seem to find an answer to. I have a General profile set to 80% (set for Optimized Charging -- i.e., not set for Preferred Charging Times) and that is what I have been...

    How to play VIDEOS in the Taycan's PCM Screen

    I finally got around to copying some movies to a USB-C thumb drive. Looks and sounds fantastic on both main PCM and passenger screen. Very impressed with it. Too bad it won’t play video (at least on passenger screen) while driving but I understand why for legal reasons, but this is a great...

    Sunglasses holder in place of grab handle

    +1 I also just put them in the storage space under the center screen. No case so they are easy to grab and no sliding around due to the grippy surface material of the storage area. It’s the only thing I keep down there so it’s not an issue to fish for it while driving. I agree this retrofit is a...

    PCM connection to Porsche Server

    Have you tried accessing the Weather app or the News app from the PCM? Or streaming through the factory installed Apple Music app (not through CarPlay)? If none of those work then I agree your data connection is the problem and the module likely needs to be replaced. If they work (as mine did)...

    Delivery Options / Recommendations

    I purchased my TTS from a Porsche dealer out of state. I almost flew there to road trip it back but at the end of the day did not feel confident doing that as this was my first EV and I didn’t want to put so much mileage on so soon. The dealer arranged covered transport and took care of...

    Tax rules in each country

    New Jersey. We pay one of the highest tax rates on both real estate property taxes and income taxes in the US but the one thing it has going for it is an exemption for 0% sales tax on zero emission vehicles. Not limited by income or vehicle price. That was a huge savings on my Taycan Turbo S...

    PCM connection to Porsche Server

    Confirmed. All I did was just drive around with second key. It is associated with the same Porsche ID. Everything was working fine inside the car with the initial key and the second key. When I got to my destination with the second key I went on the app while still in the car and it immediately...

    PCM connection to Porsche Server

    Update. I just did a 20 minute drive using the other key and all is right with the app again. I’m connected. Don’t know if it was the drive or the key that did it but the total downtime was about 23 hours.

    Individual Mode (Am I being stupid?)

    Just curious what people set as their Individual settings. I like the low ride height and throttle response of Sport Plus but with the Normal chassis setting for PASM so that the ride is a bit more comfortable on the brutal NJ roads around me and I keep recuperation set to auto/adaptive, which I...

    PCM connection to Porsche Server

    Thanks. Will try that but unfortunately both keys are linked to the same Porsche ID. My wife barely drives it and just uses my profile with her seat saved in one of the memory settings.
