  1. No certified Taycan Tech.

    I purchased from that dealer; they were very apologetic when I had the motor control error; the service lead there bent over backwards to get me in contact with a dealer that could help. The closer one refused (don't like them anyway) but he found me a dealer who took the car and completed the...
  2. Thermal windows

    No problem with EZPass here. They do have batteries in them.
  3. 2,500 miles in 6 days!!

    haven't experienced that problem; the only charging challenges I have faced have been due to chargers. but I don't have the 19.2 so I am not familiar with your issues. No question, Porsche needs to own up to issues and get them fixed. Their promotional materials make it all seem perfect and we...
  4. 2,500 miles in 6 days!!

    At this point, non Tesla EVs are really in the development phase esp when it comes to longer distance travel (many would argue that is also true of Tesla's but for different reasons). The availability of chargers has improved incredibly over the past couple of years (owned an Etron for almost...
  5. Range mode + Recuperation?

    Not sure what it is about 'auto' that is not understandable.. It sort of works like 1/2 of radar cruise when your foot is off the accelerator. Nothing happens unless your foot is off the accelerator (like cruise does); at that point it monitors what is ahead and slows you down if you are...
  6. Range mode + Recuperation?

    Although I wish the recup setting would 'stick'. even though it isn't chosen recuperation occurs whenever the brake pedal is pressed (unless extremely hard). Notice how little brake dust is on your wheels. (note, if the battery is fully charged, recup can't occur until some of the battery is...
  7. Question about Charging NA app

    Plug & Charge worked for me the first time, it was in Manchester CT which previously did not; I had been charging using the app
  8. NHTSA investigating Taycan power loss issue

    By what definition is a car that stops in the middle of the highway safe to drive??
  9. NHTSA investigating Taycan power loss issue

    interesting points. I had driven the car about 100 mi before it happened to me. My car is a 2021; it did have a software update before delivery because it was manufactured just before an update was released.
  10. Traffic Sign Recognition Hangs

    It has happened to me quite a few times not associated with rain or (gasp) car wash. I find it surprising that a problem with the sensor causes the display to hang. Very curious.
  11. Motor Control Error Fix (2021)

    I didn't get any feedback on other cars; I assumed since there was a fix that is was known as a problem. More reports are for post-update 2020 models but there are NHTSA reports (including mine) for 2021's. I agree; when mine shut down I was in the right lane so it was easy to get to the...
  12. Traffic Sign Recognition Hangs

    Are others seeing this problem. I had previously described with as my currently remaining problem after Motor Control Error fix. https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/motor-control-error-fix-2021.5336/ This has occurred many times: the speed sign indicator freezes on a value and will not...
  13. Motor Control Error Fix (2021)

    Got the Motor Control Error with shutdown on highway a few weeks back. Cleared with power reset on side of road. Reported to NHTSA and contacted dealer. Was planning a long trip in car, dealer received feedback from zone manager 'long distance travel not recommended' flew instead leaving car...
  14. Live in Chicago, Ordered from Dealer in Philly...Roadtrip?

    You don't have to wait for Porsche NAV; download 2 apps: ABRP and Plugshare and you plan the whole trip in advance; will give you an opportunity to get familiar with both apps. Use ABRP to plan the trip and confirm condition of chargers with Plugshare (their data seems to be even more up to date...
  15. Is using brake regen more efficient?

    I fell like it actually because it is more smoothly handled that I would have; one of the reasons I like the auto function very much. Just try it when you get a chance, just set to A and then take your foot off the accelerator as you approach a string of cars. It will not stop completely, you do...
  16. Is using brake regen more efficient?

    There is a similar system on Etron but once you set it, it stays that way. I like the system and wish it would 'stick' with the Taycan. Only intervenes when your foot is off the accelerator, so probably wouldn't have a big effect on spirited driving.
  17. Is using brake regen more efficient?

    I'm confused by the statement about braking: applying the brake, except in extreme circumstances, slows the car with regen.
  18. Day after purchasing Taycan 4S Electrical system error and bricked car in the middle of the highway.

    So far I'm still 100% with my Taycan. I am confident this will get worked out.
  19. Day after purchasing Taycan 4S Electrical system error and bricked car in the middle of the highway.

    So I had the exact problem with my 2021 4S; didn't photo message but was surprised to see the word "engine". After pulling of the highway and shutting the car off, tried in a few seconds and it was all ready to go. Yours wouldn't restart or did you not want to risk driving it? I was 100 mi from...
  20. NHTSA investigating Taycan power loss issue

    My 2021 my failed Saturday while driving on I95; luckily in right lane and pulled off onto the shoulder. Shutdown followed by restart allowed the car to function again normally. Notified dealer and filed with NHTSA
