    Avoiding all Automated Driving Functions

    Avoiding all Automated Driving Functions

    Man, just when I thought I understood the difference, now I'm even more confused by this chart. One unfortunate thing that's clear though is that the more dangerous of the features, the one that actually interferes with the steering process (albeit non aggressively), comes standard whereas the...

    Avoiding all Automated Driving Functions

    Just out of curiosity, why would the government legislate against soft close doors or wireless charging?

    Avoiding all Automated Driving Functions

    Yes thanks, Lane Change Assist. I corrected my post accordingly. A side view mirror warning is fine. That might actually come in handy one day. Unfortunately, a few posts down, someone indicated that it actually steers the car to keep it in the lane. :( As long as it can be permanently...

    Avoiding all Automated Driving Functions

    I've been reading this forum regularly over the last few months to prepare myself for the forthcoming delivery of my TTS. Very excited! Most of my questions have been answered but there is one lingering issue I'd like to put out there for comment. I avoid like the plague any features that...

    Plug and Charge

    I'd like to think so but realistically, the only people truly upset about this situation are guys like me who: Use public chargers exclusively, or at least primarily, thus placing a high value on Plug and Charge, and.... People who got taken by a smooth talking salesman and were too lazy to do...

    Plug and Charge

    My freeze date was some time in late February. My vehicle is on a boat, arriving in San Diego on May 8th. I wish my dealer would've shown me the same courtesy. I split my time between two high-rise condos, one in Las Vegas and one in San Diego. Residents aren't allowed to install private...

    Plug and Charge

    For those of you who were able to successfully use Plug and Charge and live in the US... Did any of you inadvertently order the 19.2 kW On-Board Charger ($1,680) and/or the 150 kW 400V On-Board Charger ($460)? My 2021 TTS arrives in a few weeks and I was one of the unfortunate shmucks led to...

    Cracked Rear window

    My Taycan is still being shipped so can't speak from experience here, but I did have an interesting chat with my dealer about this problem a few months back. I told him of all the problems I was reading about on this forum and asked him if any of the other customers at the dealership were...

    The ship delivering my Taycan is aesthetically unappealing and has a sissy-sounding name.

    I never was able to get that Track My Dream site to work but got a text from my sales rep yesterday indicating that delivery is running ahead of schedule. The car is currently on a boat from Germany to San Diego. It's a rather unattractive vessel: I guess I had always imagined the delivery...

    Car arrives next week. What should I do first?

    Truth! The channel "Elevator Music" on Spotify is my go to for background driving music. Looking forward to playing it on June 4 when my Taycan arrives in San Diego.

    Electrical fault - Juddering to sudden stop.

    I can't lie; As someone waiting for his Taycan to arrive at the dealer, posts like this one scare the heck out of me. Please keep us posted on the outcome!

    This is interesting to me - juxtaposition…

    I've had similar thoughts. There's got to be some solution that would bring Porsche from a D- to at least to a satisfactory B- level in the software/tech area. I was a software dev (now retired) in the financial services industry, but I have no idea what it takes to design automobile software...

    This is interesting to me - juxtaposition…

    Yeah, what scares me though is it's beyond "lacking." If you look at the reviews for their apps, for instance, it's just a solid wall of one star. It's not just that the tech is uninspired or mediocre. It's almost like they've striven to achieve a whole new level of bad. I swear they must be...

    Courtesy car , big deal or no?

    That's one nasty looking vehicle. Reminds me of the thing Walter White drove in "Breaking Bad" prior to making it big as a New Mexican drug manufacturer. I wouldn't do business with a dealership that didn't provide Porsche loaner cars when my car is being serviced. At Porsche of San Diego, at...

    Have any of you had a problem-free Taycan experience?

    I know this is probably a stupid question but..... If the 12 volt battery finds itself in a situation where it's at 0%, why couldn't it just charge itself from the main battery that powers the engine? I mean they're all connected, right?

    Have any of you had a problem-free Taycan experience?

    Did your 12 volt issue leave you stranded or were you able to detect it and abort the bad charge before battery was completely depleted?

    Have any of you had a problem-free Taycan experience?

    I'm trying to determine if the wide variety of problems described on this forum are (1) common amongst Taycan owners in general or, conversely, (2) most owners are problem-free but simply don't post on venues like this one. I've been driving 911s for about twenty years now. My current vehicle...

    Taycan Waiting Room: Who has ordered and a delivery date?

    No, he didn't. Thanks for providing this. Navigating to that URL currently returns: Service Unavailable - Please try again later ...so I guess I'll try again later. I was hoping it was something as simple as just going to a website and typing in my build number. Too quick and obvious, that...
