    Electrify America 101 and Range Lessons learned on first road trip

    Soooo can I safely configure my charger to 10A on the 120v connection? What’s the worst that can happen?? It trips my fuse box?

    Electrify America 101 and Range Lessons learned on first road trip

    Question 1: When charging at L1...Why does the mobile charger default to 6A when I am told it is detrimental and one must change to 8A. Question 2: I am able to bump my mobile charger to 10A within the interface. Is there any reason not to do so? (I am guessing if this unit is plugged into a...

    Electrify America 101 and Range Lessons learned on first road trip

    He probably has the bigger battery? I regrettably was talked into sticking with the 79kwh battery. Do you know what his average speed was? The headwinds also probably didn't help me. I will be heading back to Plano tomorrow and determined to make it on one stop.

    Electrify America 101 and Range Lessons learned on first road trip

    I did mention 101 in my title afterall. Yes the 18kwh on level 2 was a typo. This IS my first EV and I am not an electrical engineer and learning Amps, Volts and Kwh. I understood higher speed would decrease overall mileage...I had no idea how much and has also had hoped the "higher mileage...

    Electrify America 101 and Range Lessons learned on first road trip

    Lesson learned. I had decided I would indeed stop at #2 since even if I made it to Conroe I would need 50 miles to get back to a charge and I was initially confident I could make it on 85%.

    Electrify America 101 and Range Lessons learned on first road trip

    I have no problem at Electrify America....With my 22 Taycan it is already registered and I use the Connect app and it auto signs me in. It is the Porsche Dealers I need to authenticate me AT the dealers to use theirs.

    Electrify America 101 and Range Lessons learned on first road trip

    I made my first road trip from Plano to Conroe, Texas.; 224 miles away. I have a base Taycan 79kwh battery, which claims 210 miles but was told Porsche under promises and over delivers so I wanted to see if I can make it to Conroe with no stops! My white Taycan is optioned very well...

    Mobile Charger Settings on 120V

    Thanks! Makes sense. What about answers for the 120V and the configuration from 6-10A? Why does it default to 6 when that is bad. And why change it to 8 when we can bump it to 10? I suspect pre '22 8 amp was highest setting and '22 models/chargers can output 10A but I want confirmation...

    Mobile Charger Settings on 120V

    The mobile charger is semi-smart. When it is attached to a 50A circuit with the "dryer" plug/220V the charger automatically sets itself to charge at 40A. Question 1: Why doesn't it default or all me to bump to 50A? I think it is so that it won't blow the 50A fuse and leaves 10A buffer. As...

    Ok so now I’m excited! - IT'S HERE!

    I Googled the ship name and tracked the boat real time. vesselfinder website shows the ships. I found the Porsche tracker website was way off as it showed my ship SIEM PLATO was harbored in New Foundland and yet it was chugging up the Houston ship channel. May want to try this for more...

    Taycan owner for 2 days, love the car but software bugs galore!

    Who is dealer. They should have addressed all this before giving it to you!

    Free Fast charging at Dealerships?

    I went to charge my '22 Taycan at the dealership for first time at a high speed charger. The charger required me to authenticate first and I never got a card or anything to authenticate. I called my sales rep and he said I needed a card from a Porsche employee to authenticate me to the charger...

    Remote parking not working for single garage

    I have not tried it anywhere else. Sorry. I need to figure out where it may be useful so I can show my wife when she drives. I do use the dash screen that gives a birds eye view from above which shows how close I am to curbs and front back as well. That works well.

    Multiple Bluetooth Phones

    I went in this morning and everything worked as it should. I suspect it was erratic last night because I had just paired her phone and it was downloading address book and perhaps the CPU was over utilized to do too much at once...All seems as it should though this morning.

    Multiple Bluetooth Phones

    Thanks...this is what I saw as well but inconsistently. Sometimes I would see both and sometimes only see one and sometimes it would disappear before I could change when I did see both. I only played with it with both phones for 15 minutes...so maybe after turning car off and both phones gone...

    Is there a standard USB port in my 2021 Taycan?

    There are 3 actually. One in center console (hard to spot) and TWO in between back seats on the vertical face between the floor board. EASY to spot. ALL USB-C

    Multiple Bluetooth Phones

    My wife and I each paired our iPhones to the car's bluetooth...but what is SUPPOSED to happen when we are both in the car with our phones? Is there a way to have a primary or secondary? I have seen a few behaviors such as: 1) Both connected but only one works. 2) One can't connect at all. 3)...

    Standard interior with burmester audio or leather interior with Bose

    I took delivery on my '22 Taycan and was blown away how GOOD the stereo is...LIGHT YEARS ahead of my Bose in my '11 Cayenne S. (not to mention my Lambo Huracan Perf Spyder) I did get the full leather (bordeaux red) and it makes the car smell amazing and the added quality really makes you feel...
