    Help with product naming

    Great company and products! This new product sounds similar to PA Cosmic Spritz and Kamikaze Overcoat (which I personally use). I think a suitable name would be: Crystal Coat From Perplexity: “Crystal Coat” is a strong and appealing product name that effectively communicates premium protection...

    Happy 10th birthday Mission E. You gave birth to one hell of a car.

    I've lived with suicide doors on my RX-8 for 13 years. Unlike the Mission E concept to Taycan, Mazda kept the doors from the RX-Evolv concept. For rear occupants to exit, the front door must be opened, then the rear door. The front passenger must unbuckle their seat belt for the rear door to...

    TOP THREE THINGS WE LOVE ABOUT OUR TAYCANS!

    It’s probably the best-looking car, and I enjoy spending time cleaning/detailing it like no other. As @f1eng mentioned, each of the driving modes is tuned just right, good balance of comfort and responsiveness, but Sports Plus is my favorite! Most importantly- it’s brought back the joy of...

    4S Cross Turismo - 21" wheels for rough roads?

    Which wheels are on your Model Y? You should use that as a comparison. On my previous MYP with 21” all-seasons (also driven on 19” equiv. tires forged 20” wheels), driving around Vancouver and Burnaby area was very firm (ok on 19”) but doable. The suspension on the CT especially in Normal mode...

    PNW Taycan Meetup

    Watts Brewing hosted an event for PCA PNW recently (instagram post below)- it's the perfect place! I personally am looking forward to this. I have been to recent events with plenty of Porsches but no Taycan except mine (and fielding questions of "how many cylinders..."). From yesterday's PCA...

    Gentian Blue w/ Ceramic - Do birds really like it?

    Must be the beautiful car and color? I don’t have experience with Gentian Blue but have not had this issue with my former dark blue Model Y for 5 years.

    Do I really need to pay $27/month to see my Taycan’s range on my phone?

    I suspect the Porsche Connect fee is to nudge owners to upgrade to a newer model with included Porsche Connect (planned obsolescence?). With that said, I have been used to the utility and convenience of remotely checking and triggering lock/unlock, preconditioning the car especially when parked...

    PNW Washington taycan owners

    One year later… it’s German Car Day again this Saturday. I did inquire about participating with my CT4 and was given the OK for this week. Anyone else going? I’ll be in Porsche merch wear with my 11-yr old.

    Blackvue DR900X dashcam+ battery B124X installation

    Installed: BlackVue DR970X-BOX-PLUS 2-Channel with the B-130X battery pack (there is a similar, slightly newer B-130A). Newer model, similar benefits, of note: smaller, stealthier camera units "box" contains processing and memory card and keeping it far from the windshield helps much in...

    NHTSA Complaint - Damaged/seized cooling fans - May 29, 2025

    From what I've read, the driver's side fan is for cooling the battery and may not come on unless doing L3 charging. The passenger side fan cycles on with the AC. As it happens when I parked at home yesterday I heard the lawnmower-like noise on my passenger side (cycled by AC) on my 2022 CT...

    For US owners: installed Blind-Spot Aspherical Mirror set (before & after)

    I adjusted the side mirrors all the way to the left or right, depending which resulted in the largest gap (each side was different in my case), and with your hands inserted as much as possible, just pull out that side carefully. For my set, there were 4 wires per side- I believe 2 pins for the...

    For US owners: installed Blind-Spot Aspherical Mirror set (before & after)

    I've grown accustomed to driving with aftermarket wide-angle / aspherical mirrors on my other cars, and felt less confident driving the Taycan without it. I originally planned on purchasing the driver's side mirror from Suncoast, though with my car having LCA + auto-dimming, that was ringing in...

    Part 3: The Quest for the Perfect Tune

    Yes, at 61% it’s still quite an improvement and pulls hard. I’m very happy. Will do more runs at high SOC soon.

    Part 3: The Quest for the Perfect Tune

    Thank you for that. So the ESS is audibly validating the significant power increase I am getting, great! The video as you have it now is perfect. Seeing it and you doing the work on your own car, and of course all the valuable data-driven posts you have here and your history in car tuning space...

    Part 3: The Quest for the Perfect Tune

    So for the drive... I was beaming with excitement when I asked my 11-year old to go with me for a spin. Pulling out into the street in Normal mode, noticed that the throttle was more responsive, almost Tesla-like (which I prefer to the lethargic Taycan 4 throttle mapping). Stepping a bit more...
