I’ve been using the EA charging system for about 6 months. Recently, I’ve had three instances where the EA plug would not release from the car’s receptacle after I had pushed the vehicle’s release button. The last time it happened the charge indicator stayed green, and I had to use the manual...

Hmm…$500 to make noise on a vehicle designed to be quiet? You do the math, but not for me!

Awesome ??

It took my 2024 performance battery about 750 miles to accurately start predicting range. In addition to the break in period for the mechanicals, it also uses your driving style for range computations.

You could ask, but I would think it’s unlikely that Porsche would allow access outside their dealer network.

My main concern would be the 4 service/vehicle maintenance appointments between 3/11/21 and 10/15/21 in just over 2,200 miles. The early Taycans had a lot of software growing pains requiring multiple reloads at the dealership, so it could be something as simple as that. In any case the dealer...

I ordered one on my 2024 build as one of the exclusive manufacture options. It’s essentially the same module as the standard chrono package on my 911, so I would suggest checking with your Porsche parts guy about ordering one.

Good to hear, thanks! thats certainly been the case with my 911, thanks!

That’s good to hear. My concern with using for my 911 wasn’t so much the limited capability as the fact it just doesn’t work much of the time

Maybe because the Tesla chargers are everywhere??

How essential/useful is the My Porsche app for the Taycan? Do I need it to use EA charging stations, or can I just plug and charge like I do with my Tesla? I have patiently tried to use it on my 2020 911, but it’s been hit and miss since I’ve downloaded it. Fortunately, all I consistently get...

Wow, the two of you probably should have discussed this before dropping $150K on an EV. We have owned 4 EVs from Chevrolet, BMW and Tesla over the past 15 years. All were charged in an attached garage, and after a cumulative 150,000 miles none of them caught fire. There is a huge difference...

Well said! I have a 911S, and I’m going through a similar separation anxiety. However, I do think the Taycan GTS will be a dealbreaker. I do like the fact I can still have performance, but my ears aren’t ringing after a 7-hour road trip. Just hope they can install more EA chargers in the...

Indeed, probably wouldn’t have worked to try to engage him in a discussion on macro economics, and the fact that big oil companies, particularly in his state, are making record profits EXPORTING their product on the international market. Of course there’s always the government subsidies big oil...
