    Porsche Dashcam Installed - Review and Overview for US Taycan Owners

    tnx for sharing this, i also specced the pre-wired dashcam option, do you have a photo of showing the pre-wired cables before the installation? wondering how it looked like before and I hope they are not just hanging there. The same for the rear cable, was it at your request to stick the rear...

    My take on Night View Assist

    LOL! back to the NVA, I also have specced it, basically it's a bit redundant if you live in a city; Porsche could have done it better to 1) position the infrared sensor a bit higher 2) allow it in an extended view (like the extended google map) rather than in a small circle

    Ring car cam

    good concept but am concerned about the reception when the car is in the underground garage or locations with poor reception in general. already having issues connecting to the car for remote heating/cooling on demand. as for the product and its features, it would be nice if the stick is made...

    Offered an extended warranty

    no worries, thought I just had to ask if and any. yeah, I will just be extra cautious till the GTS is delivered.

    Offered an extended warranty

    Can I purchase the discounted warranty extension through you as a referral? my warranty is due in Jan 2023, and i spoke to my sales advisor today about the status of my new GTS, it again slipped to mid-April (was March) without a specific explanation from the factory but simply "order delay due...

    Heater broken. My turn.

    got the car back today, they replaced the HV heater, it's working fine now. I will try the pre-heat tomorrow as that's how the issue started. they also did the first service on my Taycan, changed the air filter, brake fluid, and polished some minor scratches on the rear spoiler(this is outside...

    Heating Failure

    thanks for sharing this! however, I didn't quite understand how the HV heater, described as a third system, can fail the entire heating system once it's broken, but according to the mechanics at my dealer, it's a QC issue of the HV heaters which Porsche should have done better. so my car is at...

    Heating Failure

    ballocks! but even if the warranty runs out, Porsche should still get the fixed at their cost since it's a quality component issue, look at the sheer amount of Taycan owners having this HV heater issue worldwide.

    Heating Failure

    I am actually thinking of going back to plug-in ICEs since the gas price is falling back to normal. any EVs in winter is pretty much useless when it comes to range, the vast amount of juice you pour in every week/month costs more than gasolining a full tank.

    Heating Failure

    sorry to hear that your honeymoon with the GTS is getting delayed, it seems the MY22/23 models are also affected by the HV heater issue on "NEW CARS!" whereas Porsche first mentioned it's only related to the MY20/21 models. Nothing you can do at this moment but patiently wait for the car to be...

    Heating Failure

    LOL, I will carry a 230v radiator when using the Taycan in winter, and 2 hours after the portable radiator will most likely trigger the "Electrical system error" . They will tow the car to the dealership and after a quick diagnosis, a new HV battery floor needs to be replaced! the best thing to...

    Heating Failure

    mine heater went dead yesterday, basically the mild issue with demist already appeared 2 weeks ago, I contacted my dealer mechanic and explained the issue, and they booked in for a diagnosis on the 21st Dec also ordered the high voltage heater part already just in case they need to replace it...

    Offered an extended warranty

    it's a good deal with either option, but I think 3-year seems like a long stretch, in case If you are planning to get another Taycan, say an MY24 Turbo S or a Turbo GT, I would go for the 2-year option since the discount ratio is the same as 3-year. My factory warranty is due in Jan 2023...

    New PCM update and it’s ugly android style buttons.

    waiting (that long) sucks, but all worth it. you re going to have a lot of fun once collected.

    New PCM update and it’s ugly android style buttons.

    not a big fan of the color icons, but I care less about it as long as PCM doesn't trouble me, and it hasn't since the big update, so I am happy. It would be just nice if the icon color can be configured in the car settings, it's extremely easy to implement and will make everyone happy. but yeah...

    Anyone bored of EV?

    no, personally I am not missing modern ICEs for daily driving, but I do like a young classic for a weekend blast.

    Two issues within the only first day...

    It seems that Porsche Newsroom just release an updated article about the VLC that is available on all model variants. Funny that said "Now that we’ve mastered the technology, additional fine-tuning and customization are an option. Stephan Wetzel smiles. “We’re never done at Porsche. There’s...

    Two issues within the only first day...

    not sure how it passed the QA, but it might be helpful to ask the dealer for the exact cause, I mean they should know it, you can also ask the dealer if they know how to replace this kind of roof. let's say it's the fuse/wire, if each individual rectangle from the VLC is controlled by a...

    Two issues within the only first day...

    Thanks for the update, but damn about the VLC!! so it can't be fixed by a software reset but rather needed a whole new roof, what exactly did your dealer say about the issue? but dealer should have spotted it during the PDI, no? I just feel sorry about it. and am firmly scared if I should...
