    Taycan Blank Key

    Somehow I lost my key from my key fob. The part that slides out and used to unlock the door if the key battery is dead or remote now working. I found some online but had to buy them in bulk of 5. So I have extras if anyone ever finds themselves needing one and not wanting to pay $100 or it's...

    Rear window vandalized (pics)

    Seems more and more that the big cities and their leaders enable this type of crime with little to no punishment. My Cayenne was broken into and we identified the man that did it and was known to do smash and grabs and then try to buy gift cards at the local grocery store. The store manager...

    Charging etiquette. Would you do the same?

    I think you did the right things. I don't get why people get upset if someone unplugged a car fully charged. (Not all cars physically lock the connection) While of course you must do so with caution and responsibility, if the car is unattended and fully charged then IMHO they relinquish their...

    Stuck Plug

    There is also a manual release option as well. The release can be found on the inside of either the driver's side or the passenger's side door. Open the door, and you'll see the release on the back side of the fender at the top. Pull the release towards the back of the vehicle. It will manually...

    Porsche blessing 40A on Mobile Charger Connect

    This graph seems to depict getting the 9.6 as I expected...Why am I only seeing 8.7 from my car?

    Porsche blessing 40A on Mobile Charger Connect

    Great question and I didn't know so I went and tested. I seemed to recall it should be in the 9.6 kW range while at 40A. 1) When I went to the car, the battery was currently at 57% battery charged 2) I adjusted wall unit to 40A (It was still set at 32A) 3) Plugged in and it initially said it...

    Porsche blessing 40A on Mobile Charger Connect

    When I raised concern related to Porsche's recommended setting to be set at 50% of what it was capable of (20A versus 40A) I did get a favorable response as outlined below: While your residence may not be affected, out of abundance of caution, and to help prevent any damage, the default...

    Black Screen Of Death?

    My '22 Taycan requires the two finger reboot about 20% of the time I get in...Totally frustrating. I have had the software update. I did take it in today because I couldn't get the ApplePlay EV maps to work. It kept saying I needed to upgrade my car's communications manager. As it turned out...

    20" Vs 21" Wheels Comfort and Handling

    The smaller rims have an inch more rubber and air to soften the ride and absorb bumps. It will feel more cushy and "comfortable". However, when you whip around a corner you will get more body roll or less response and more understeer. IMHO the larger rims with lower profile tires look much...

    CLOSED/SOLVED- After latest in-center upgrade - home charging sucks

    Manually go back in and change it back to at least 30A...or back to 35A or even 40A if you wish. It was detuned because "some" outlets may overheat. Dealer manually detuned it to 20A for everyone to cover their lame asses and won't do what's right and replace these POSs! I have mine back at...

    Base Taycan range: less? more? or average?

    Chas1 - I am talking miles...I see you are from UK...Are you kilometers or miles?

    Base Taycan range: less? more? or average?

    My base '22 with mission-e tires gets about 205 miles full range (100%) with smaller battery and typically city spirited driving. If you drive highways...anything over 70mph will detract more as you go faster from your mpg as wind resistance plays a large part! I saw about 35% worse mileage as...

    Taycan Charging / EA 150kw vs 350kw

    In regards to your 19.2kW On-Board Charger...That (as I understand it) will only help you when charging AC or at home (or other level 2 chargers running up to 100A fuses but most run at 50, so won't help). Most level 2 chargers at home run a 50A fuse in their box (40A to you) (Tesla Gen 3 can...

    100A Porsche Wall Charger Connect

    I hadn't seen any posts on this but I received an email offering the new Porsche Wall Charger Connect which will charge car at 19.2 kW. This is done via using a 100A fuse which enables 80A charging. Page 2 shows the settings for based on the fuse you use...
