I love EV, I've assisted so many friends with Tesla, BMW, Audi, GM and even Smart EV (<$45/month lease).
Taycan is the only car I would not recommend my friends to own. I personally still love the Porsche brand, design and driving experience, I'll continue to put up with these carp. No way...
It used to happen a couple times a month, but a lot more frequently recently. I can't figure out what caused the issue. I had it in all kinds of road conditions, but I can't duplicate it. My hand was always on the steering wheel during these events.
80% happened while driving on the freeway...
Can't agree more, more specifically reverse into parallel parking in the dark. I can't see the distance between the wheels and the curb.
Since the invention of backup camera, I don't trust myself and has to rely on backup camera. Taycan is my first car with front camera, I'm using it way too...
All Taycan has a large 8.4-inch screen on the center console, did anyone ever use the touch pad function to enter information? Only wish Porsche can use that space wisely.
It's crazy that Tesla frequent software updates are extremely reliable just like iOS..... since 2012.
Many so called experts thought legacy car companies can do the same, but so far no one can in 2025. All OTA updates on Taycan are map updates and repeat notifications.
Besides gimmicks, there...
Unless they are offering a price to good to pass, I consider buying from Porsche CPO only.
Taycan is by far a car with most issues I've ever owned. Although all the issues are not serious enough for me to get it fix immediately, but it's nice to know I have plenty of time to address those...
Do you have anything plugged into your USB C port?
I had the same issue recently, I was trying to charge a Nintendo Switch and the screen stuck at Porsche logo, after I unplugged the Switch, the issue went away.
I have zero interest of ICE car. I wanted a Porsche for so long, I was down to 2 cars between Panamera and Model S back in 2015. I picked MS and that was one of the best decisions I made. I was so excited Porsche is making an EV version of sports sedan. Will not go back to ICE, period.
It's unlikely Porsche will have an ICE version on current Taycan because it's built for EV from the ground up where battery is located at the bottom of the car. They have to resign next generation Taycan with room for an engine and transmission.
Switched from S to Taycan this year. Love every second of driving it. Build quality is amazing. I often hear positive compliments on Taycan, even EV haters don't see this car as electric.
I miss Tesla's MCU and OTA updates a lot. Tesla is miles ahead and keeps improving, Porsche stuck at...
Because I would be so mad that I paid or leasing a Taycan but drive something else for FIVE+ months.
I'll feel better if they at least offer a similar Taycan as loaner. Personally, I would not want to drive an ICE even it's a fully spec'd Cayenne.
I'm getting the same error occasionally using EA DC chargers, sometimes 5-10 minutes after the charging started. The error goes away after I restart the charging sessions.
Have you check Audi's A7 forum? I'm not suggesting A7 has issues, but coming from a couple of Audis' myself, it's not a brand I buy for a reliable car.
I want to buy a Porsche for so long, and I'm only consider EVs, there is nothing as attractive as Taycan right now, it fits my driving style and have room for family.
There are things I'm surprised after I bought the car and visit this forum, mostly around the PCM, it's many years behind and...
