    12 Volt Battery issue now

    I'm not convinced that (keeping the key away from the car) is relevant. I suppose it can't hurt though... I would bet that lots of folks keep their keys within 10m of their car on a regular basis. @KensingtonPark stated he keeps his keys in a faraday cage (which would effectively provide the...

    Dear Porsche... (Center Console Lid does not stay open)

    10 points to anyone who can plug anything into one of the USB ports without having to get fully out of the car. 50 points if you don't have to use a flashlight... 100 points to anyone who can do this while driving... 150 points if it doesn't end up in an accident. :)

    SPORT mode all the time?

    Lots of Tesla drivers (gasp!) would disagree with you... Many long-term (lazy) EV owners prefer not to have to move their foot from the pedal to brake unless necessary. "Single Pedal" driving requires much more precise throttle control but that skill is easily acquired over time. ...and the...

    Internal charger issue

    I have a 2020 TurboS delivered mid-august. I've not had an issue (knock-on-wood). ..are you suggesting this is a known endemic problem? ("I thought they had this problem fixed") Maybe its just a functional failure with hardware on some cars... Did I miss something?

    Taycan PCM Simulator site link

    If it truly was supported, and then ported to an "online simulator", they wouldn't need to present the simulator interface as a video presentation. They could make it available as a direct UI in a web app. (Avidyne does this with their Aviation panels. You can download an app which is a PC...

    Taycan PCM Simulator site link

    I grabbed on old Logitech Trackman USB trackball I had laying around and went out to the car. After climbing into the car and juggling the console lid to try and see the USB ports, I then had to climb back out, find a flashlight, and attempted to plug it in WITHOUT actually sitting in the seat...

    Taycan PCM Simulator site link

    Yes, you are absolutely correct. It could be designed to support a mouse for "development" mode. I didn't consider that... As a nod to your insight, I am going out to try one now... I will report back shortly...

    Dear Porsche... (Center Console Lid does not stay open)

    I'm not sure what you mean by "I just wonder how such a topic is torn apart." I don't think there is anyone who thinks this is a good design. There is no battle going on here tearing "us" apart... The specific topic of this thread is that the "Console Lid won't stay Open". ...so we are...

    Taycan PCM Simulator site link

    If there truly is some sort of support for a mouse (or trackball!) that would make me very scared that they "ported" this software from some other "non-vehicular" project. That would be very sad and scary indeed...

    Dear Porsche... (Center Console Lid does not stay open)

    But done REASONABLY for MOST people should be... This has nothing to do with "ART". The appearance of the console lid would not need to change a bit. You don't need to make excuses for Porsche. It makes absolutely no difference how many times you open the console. There is absolutely no...

    Where's the WiFi Menu?

    Traditionally, big downloads are packetized so integrity checks can be done in smaller chunks. Usually, the whole package does not need to be re-downloaded. The network protocol itself (TCP) even supports this to some degree internally. (However, I would never try to guess how Porsche...

    How exactly does the four-wheel drive system work? Sliding on snow.

    Yup, a heavy car is your friend for traction. Not so much when it comes to inertia! Physics always wins! AWD cars are not that much fun in the snow anyway. For that you need a proper RWD car. It feels like the Taycan is pretty sure footed though... I've been over in your "neck of the...

    Map updates and traffic.

    I don't know where they get the PCM Nav data from but I'm fairly certain they use Google Maps for the Nav Function in the Online Porche Nav Portal...

    Where's the WiFi Menu?

    The car doesn't need to do OTA updates by WiFi at all! Additionally, unless someone has documentation which indicates otherwise, the "HotSpot" is not meant to connect to your home network anyway. "Hotspots" don't take service, they provide service... Yes, your car can be a "client" (as it is...

    Map updates and traffic.

    Yup, every once in while you will get a "Map Updated" message in the display... This comes in over the car's LTE (4G) Internet connection (even in the USA!).

    DC charging

    I seriously doubt its the EA chargers - unless you were sharing a single terminal with that Audi - or the entire station itself (all the terminals) was demanding more power than the grid could deliver. Those terminals are simply big power outlets. Its like blaming the low volume of your home...

    Dear Porsche... (Center Console Lid does not stay open)

    Maybe Porsche Innodrive should be a standard option so we can get some handsfree time to operate the center console? Pretty fookin stupid design I think... Not as easy to "update" as all the software issues, but they really could just offer up a retrofit hinge...

    DC charging

    The battery still likes it to be warm. Perhaps significantly warmer than your ambient. If you want to post or compare your numbers, please do this. Unless there is compelling reason not to...
