In this quick pic I took while charging.... How can the current charge speed be 255 kW when the charger itself is rated at only 150kw? Why is the current charge speed of 255 kW higher than the 129kW that the Taycan is requesting? I figured the actual charge speed would be the minimum of...

In the above screenshot, what would prompt someone unfamiliar with the neighborhood to click "Thanks!"? Mustn't a man must know of the sign's prior existence for him to consider it missing? More interestingly, a man who clicks "Not there" would have to be able to see the sign's inherent...

I replaced my front orange blinker lights, which dealer refers to as "markers," with white ones. Purely a cosmetic decision. I just think it looks a bit nicer. They gave me my old orange ones back in a bag before I left. For those that have replaced your blinkers, what's the upside to keeping...

As you can see from my post history, I absolutely love my 2021 TTS while having no fondness at all for Electrify America. They are to EV charging what Internet Explorer is to browsers. Anyway, there's this app called PlugShare that I use where you can indicate whether particular chargers in the...

On a 2021 Taycan Turbo S, this popped up yesterday: ...then got a screenshot of the tire pressure indicator which showed... ...and also found this screen: So it looks like it wants me to put 41 in the fronts and 39 in the rears. Is that actually correct? It doesn't match the recommended...

Why is the DC charging input covered with a little flap that must be manually opened and closed by the user? Far as I can tell, the only services it provides are: Adds a superfluous step when plugging in, and Obstructs the automatic panel closure mechanism, forcing one to exit the car...

I was bit disappointed that the Charging app only showed three viable EA stations in Las Vegas. Then I looked at the Electrify America app and see that they're actually building a ton of them around town. The one that I'm eagerly anticipating the most is the one they're building at the Forum...

2021 Taycan TTS Loving this awesome car! Have some questions about how estimated range is calculated. (1) Why is Sport Plus estimated range less than Normal mode? Sport Plus (+Individual tweaks) is my default driving mode. Estimated range goes up a few miles when switching to Normal. Why is...

2021 Taycan Turbo S After two weeks of ownership, finally got my radar detector installed. Apparently there's a backlog of people installing radar detectors in San Diego these days, a lot of them new Taycan owners. :) I've been using the same installer for twenty years and always try to get...

2021 Taycan TS I'll be making a 300+ mile trip to Las Vegas soon, where temps have recently been in the 110-115 degree (F) range. Some posts on this forum alluded to the fact that extreme cold can decrease range. What about extreme heat? This is my first EV so a bit unfamiliar with...

2021 Taycan TS Every now and then Waze enters a crash state and won't work unless it's "force quit" and restarted. I can do that easily enough from my iPhone of course but, while driving, I'd much prefer to do it from the touchscreen.

2021 Taycan TS What's the secret to locking the car using a finger swipe on the door handle? I think I'm doing something wrong. Swiping my finger on the indentation of the driver's side door handle works sometimes but not others. Same with the other door handles, so I'm guessing it's not a bad...

At this specific 150kW charger: 200144-03 150kW Walmart @ 3382 Murphy Canyon Rd. San Diego, CA. 92123 I plugged in and immediately got "Initializing Charge...", the green charge light on the car, and a zero-cost charge to 97% at which point I manually hit Stop on the terminal. This is...

I'm on a quest to charge at least once at each of the three major vendors in my neighborhood: Electrify America EVGo ChargePoint I saved ChargePoint until last because most of their devices are those slow trickle chargers. I found a 50kW one on the nearby UCSD campus though, and after...

Still exploring every nook and cranny of this wonderful new Taycan! Today I want to learn about StarGard. Before driving off the lot, at my dealership anyway, you sit down with a friendly lady who helps you finalize all the paperwork. She also offers you some "add-ons." Most of them are pretty...

Got my Taycan TTS three days ago and am loving it. It's my first EV. In my introductory post, I said that my first EA charging experience worked flawlessly. Today I went to a different EA. Not because I was low on battery, but just to practice and try out the whole eat-while-charging bit. This...

My Taycan Turbo S was delivered a couple of days ago and I've been having a blast with it! Seriously the best car I've ever driven. Did my first free charge at Electrify America and everything worked flawlessly. Some pics, and then some questions: Private Mode Some of the material I've read...
