    Porsche NACS DC Adapter Now Available to Order

    I ordered mine within minutes of the announcement, and I got a "shipped" notice with FedEx tracking that night. Three days later it's still not in FedEx's hands...

    "[NA] Porsche owners can now access the Tesla Supercharger network" - Porsche Newsroom

    NONE of the V4 Superchargers are currently 800V. Those locations are the new, longer-cabled V4 posts connected to older 400V cabinets. Most are modified to deliver up to 325kW at 400V for Cybertrucks. They will eventually all be upgraded to high voltage architecture, but that's currently still...

    Taycan keeps locking when I lift the door handle

    I have the same issue regularly ('22 4S - comfort access on). I step up to open the unlocked door and it locks the handles. It's not a 45sec issue either because I keep my key in a Faraday box and walk straight to the car when I take the keys out. It seems random and I can't figure out why it...

    All Taycan deliveries being held at port due to needing new heaters

    After some googling, it seems PAD-963-507 is the SKU. This seems to correspond to at least two part numbers: 9J1963507D 9J1963507E Unfortunately, both of these part numbers have been around a long time - I found an "E" version manufactured in 2021, so nothing new there. Maybe the new units are...

    All Taycan deliveries being held at port due to needing new heaters

    For what it's worth, my new heater arrived and was replaced Friday. The part number on my paperwork is the same as the old: PAD-963-507 Labor Type: W HIGH-VOLTAGE 1 HEATING (PTC) So... either A) I got an old part that will likely fail again, B) they...

    Heating Failure

    My 2022 4S heater died in December with 4,000 miles on the odometer. It has only been driven in mild California weather. I finally got it replaced yesterday after the backorder delays. So….i dont put much faith on the theory that failures are caused by extremely cold weather. i hope i got a...

    HEATER FAILURE A REAL CONCERN

    Mid Dec, 2022 - Heater failed (4,000 miles) Jan 16, 2022 - First appointment with a loaner Jan 20, 2022 - Yes, your heater is broken. Part is backordered. Feb 27, 2023 - First appointment with loaner and part in stock. March 2, 2023 - New part is either broken or there are more problems...

    Tesla to open ~20% of U.S. Superchargers to all EV by end of 2024

    This is definitely the case at almost every stall/station I've visited. The cables are far too short to reach our US DC port. They basically reach the headlight area but no further. It's unclear to me whether they blow us off, extend the cables on the magic dock, or offer some form of extension...

    Heater issues anyone?

    My heater died in December. Four weeks for an appointment with a loner car. They wouldn't order the part without inspection. Four days in the shop, then "your heater element failed". The part is backordered "3 weeks". Another appointment at the end of February to get it fixed. At least I live in...

    Heater issues anyone?

    My '22 4S heater is dead as well - it just blows cold air with no errors reported. I live in California, so it may have been dead a while and didn't notice. First appointment with a loaner car is 4 weeks out. The service person mentioned they have had a few of these reports recently. At least I...

    Front license plate mount - what do you use?

    For those asking about the Carbonio mount, they definitely used to sell one. I wrote them several months back and got this reply: "At present we do not have a timeline on a Taycan offering. We did indeed used to have a mount but it is no longer available because there were too many changes and...

    Marin County (north of SF) to Santa Barbara trip report by former Tesla owner

    As a former Tesla owner, I was nervous about a long road trip on the EA network. I have a 22 4S with the ANA6 update. In short, everything worked very well. I charged at E.A. Soledad and Los Alamos on the way down. Both chargers worked fine with plug and charge, although charge rates were...

    How-to: Disconnect 12v battery

    Thanks for posting these photos. I reset my PCM a while back, and even though there are instructions available, it seemed like there should have been easier access and I thought I was missing something (I wasn't). I finally got a socket in there to loosen the terminal lug and remove it and did a...

    Major Fire at Port of Benicia (Northern California)

    The fire burned up to the second access road off the wharf as well (where the ship is in your photo). You can see it in the video link in my first post. I suspect there will be some integrity issues (or structural analysis required at a minimum) on the main wharf. If so, I wonder if VW could...

    Major Fire at Port of Benicia (Northern California)

    FYI, there is currently a 4-alarm fire at Amports Benicia. It's still burning vigorously. It's unclear what the extent of it is, or how it will affect VW vehicle offloading operations there. So far, no docked ships are involved. Video of Early Part of Fire

    Recent Software Update - Power Electronics and Engine Electronics

    That looks like a regular residential NEMA 14-50. They are ~$7 and much inferior to the industrial-quality NEMA 14-50 outlets. They occasionally fail under load in a way similar to your photo. I strongly suggest replacing yours with something like these below. They are normally ~$75, but seem to...

    PCM Problems

    Thanks for the suggestions W1NGE... I just tried this and the secondary account & key has the same issue. I'm scheduled for the WNA5 & interior alarm sensor replacement in ~3 weeks, so maybe I'll ask them to dig into this a bit. I also tried Porsche Connect support who said everything looks like...

    PCM Problems

    Tried all of the above. I also just deleted my account and did a factory reset on the PCM. Reinstalled everything and still no internet radio or Apple Music. Everything else internet-related works fine (traffic, weather, news, Porsche Connect, etc). I guess this is just another buggy PCM...
