Too late…you’re already getting out of a Porsche Taycan, so…

Wow, they’re really stretching it there. No wonder my F&I guy couldn’t tell me what was in the prepaid maintenance until/unless I bought it. He was prolly embarrassed.

Low-end cappuccino machine, here I come!

i don’t consider the goofy car-shaped key “small”. I liked Tesla’s app based key, with the credit-card key in the outside flap of my wallet. This way if my phone was dead I could just touch my wallet to the door, and wave it around the console to start. Of course the Tesla’s smart enough to...

It is my understanding that modern windshield glass is manufactured to block/limit UV-A (in addition to the glass’ natural ability to block UV-B). However the side & rear windows typically aren’t treated this way. I wonder if the standard pano glass roof is treated to block UV-A, if you need the...

Thanks, but one car will be inside & the other outside under the carport. Also, looks like 40A is their only gone model, my Taycan has the 19.2KW onboard charger. Today I have a Tesla Gen 1 HPWC and a TeslaTap that allows me to charge at that rate. I know I probably won’t find anything J1772...

So I called CC, their agent was much more knowledgeable about sharing. No issues connecting two units to the same circuit. The only “caveat” is that when both EVSEs are charging, the output of both drops to 50% each, regardless of what the car’s requesting. I was hoping for more granularity...

Sure I get that, but then why tout it as a feature?

I asked several times if I could be transferred to someone that knew more than the prepared text. When I finally did get transferred, that agent had at least read the prepared text at least once before talking to me. Not sure how these people are to facilitate product absorption If they don’t...

$2400 vs $1400 solution. CC says their sharing is “preorder” as well do doesn’t sound like they’re ready for prime time either. Getting 2x Tesla Gen 2 or Gen 3 HPWCs and Tesla Taps seems a little clunky. I guess I’ll have to wait till when the electric pickup is a reality, but I’m concerned...

Their site claims that their Pulsar Plus 48A EVSEs are capable of “Power Sharing”. Since a R1T,F150 or Cybertruck is hopefully in my future, I wanted to inquire about how this works. The somewhat clueless agent I was speaking to first gave the (semi) good news that their Pulsar Plus does...

Related: I believe the behavior of my PDLS+ changed about 3 months ago, coinciding with one of the software upgrades. When I first got the car a year ago, the cornering behavior of the Taycan PDLS+ was the same as in my 2017 Boxster. In the Boxster, it is quite easy to see that the headlights...

Less sites, more 718 BEV’s NOW!!

Thanks for the replies!

Coming up on the 1 year anniversary of taking delivery in two weeks. This morning I was greeted by the message in the title when I unlocked my iPhone. The way it was explained to me when I purchased the car was three years of those free 30 minute/month charging sessions, set up as three...

In my case, after pulling out of the garage & driving under open sky for a few minutes, on two separate occasions the PCM displayed “Loading Guest”, but then logged me back in without any interaction on my part. So yeah, not sure if whatever they did “took” or not. So far I haven’t noticed any...

Well, in that case, maybe it’s more like “I see what I did there”

Glad that I have it every time I approach a steep driveway, which is often. Now I just have to get the knack of where to engage it so the car automatically raises up in time. I wish my Boxster had it, too.

Send the bill to Porsche noting a clerical error, citing that you’re supposed to get 30 minutes of free charging for 3 years.
