    Take over steering problem

    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...

    Take over steering problem

    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...

    Anyone else find reversing a Taycan in the dark almost impossible

    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...

    New J1.2 Taycan Software Update -- New Features Detailed

    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.

    What's the best mode for "fuel efficiency?" What's your experience? Who has done an empirical comparison?

    I strongly against the Range mode, I didn't buy a Porsche Taycan and make it drive like a Prius. ;)

    New J1.2 Taycan Software Update -- New Features Detailed

    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...

    Preowned Taycan 4s "as is" with some factory warranty remaining

    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...

    Battery draining while parked...is this normal?

    5-10% is not normal. I normally see 0-1% drop overnight. I lost 4% when I left the car unplugged for a week during a vacation.

    My Porsche Infotainment keeps getting stuck

    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.

    New vs. Used Porsche Taycan: Is It Worth the Extra €40k?

    If you're searching for similar options, 2021 Taycan should have around 50% depreciation in 2024

    Rumor: Taycan to go ICE

    Still not buying it. If you zoom in to the exhaust tail pipes, especially the 2 on the left. They are stick on to the rear bumper, there are no holes.

    Rumor: Taycan to go ICE

    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.

    Rumor: Taycan to go ICE

    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.

    Suggestions on my Taycan build (Tesla model S to Taycan)

    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...

    Porsche Goodwill - Any Examples of what they offer?

    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.

    Porsche Goodwill - Any Examples of what they offer?

    Do they offer you a loaner while your Taycan is in the shop for 5+ months? What is your loaner?

    Red light on charging

    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.

    Terrible experience with brand new base Taycan 2025

    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.

    Thoughts on buying a CPO Base or 4S?

    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...

    Is it possible to upgrade the rear camera?

    360 view is okay, front camera is great (my first car with front camera). I can't think of any car has worse rear camera... EVER...
