    interesting - Mercedes + Starbuck - charge yourself and your car

    EV charging outside coffee shops, retail, restaurants, etc. probably makes sense and is very useful to folks in apartments or other difficulties doing home charging. For my use case, I'd rather see dedicated charging locations along travel routes similar to gas stations, since I only plan to...

    On off button on Taycan dangerous?

    This is how the US ends up with cars you can't shift out of park unless your foot is on the brake, overly high recommended tire pressures, warnings on the sun visors... etc... etc... etc...

    Recommended Charger

    On off button on Taycan dangerous?

    I did recently get an OTA update notification and successful install for the radio. It was very small and simple, however. And I'm still going to use my on/off button, dagnabbit!

    Stone damage to cooling unit

    I've also read those concerns but I believe the potential radiator damage is worth the risk. So far, I haven't seen any significant temperature differences in the HV battery during multiple driving styles in hot weather.

    On off button on Taycan dangerous?

    A secondary function of the Park button is emergency braking if regen or friction brakes fail, discussed in another thread here. In that case, it works at speed and gradually applies the electric parking brake but only as long as you press and hold P. Not specifically related to the original...

    Another dash cam installation : 70mai Omni

    Love the Star Wars reference and glad you're happy with it. Please post a few representative photos of the camera images while driving and in parking mode, when you can.

    On off button on Taycan dangerous?

    Maybe I'm just too "old school" in my thinking. I use the start/stop button before I exit because I want to KNOW that my car is shut off when I open the door. Feel free to add age-related jokes. It also took me a long time to stop checking my doors after I locked them... thereby unlocking them. ?

    On off button on Taycan dangerous?

    Added to the above replies, my on/off button is press and HOLD to shut off the car, so a firm, quick press wouldn't do the job anyway.

    Teen Driver Rolls Taycan at 100 MPH

    This made the rounds when it first happened. Hopefully all occupants are recovering. My question more recently is whether the undertray protected the HV battery in that crash.

    My 2025 Taycan arrived.

    It also helps fill the visual negative space for cars without the larger rotors optioned. Edit: I've read that they look better in person versus 2D photos

    Hit a rock, noise from fan

    Yes, it's in the modifications section with photos. Yes, they certainly won't help in all situations and sorry for your circumstances leading to the damage. Hopefully the permanent fix goes well for you.

    Hit a rock, noise from fan

    Radiator guards are my recent insurance policy against this.

    Clarification on gen1 Taycans charging at 800v stations in US

    @Flying ace I think it's worth restating that, even without the 150KW/400V option, you can still charge at any 400V station. You are just limited to 50KW at those locations without the added option. My car came with the extra 400V charging capability added in but I really wouldn't consider its...

    Porsche EV long term reliability?

    Not offered, standard in all the Gen 1 Taycans. The rear motor has a two-speed transmission.

    Charging Problem

    Optimized charging in the US can result in squirrely behavior, since it's set to work with extra utility equipment. I suggest you turn that off and set your profile to something low like 25%, then see if the timer works.

    All-weather Floor Mats & Boot Liner?

    The trunk width and length / floor mats do not appear to be trim-specific. To my understanding, the only differences are the depth of the hidden trunk compartment depending on your optioned radio.

    EV's vs PHEV's - what makes sense in the next 10 years?

    Although the basic workings of the ICE are well understood, increasing complexity in engine management still results in dealer visits. While my Audi never stranded me and it didn't stay on the shop more than a day for engine issues, it threw numerous engine codes over my three years that...
