I remembered incorrectly, and I apologize. Are you able to deactivate Private Mode (#52) in the car? Start at the large Settings icon on the main PCM screen. {Settings} > Privacy and Porsche Connect > Private Mode > Inactive

Remote Access Authorization is one of the green dots I mentioned in comment #7 above. You'll have to log into the USA Porsche Portal, which is different than the MyPorsche app, and click this button A new webpage will open up with a picture of your car and two dots under Porsche Connect setup...

I'm afraid I won't be much help with this one, sorry. I think it's best for you to be at the dealership to do this. My experience: I sat with my SA in the car at the dealership and he did this step for me. Before doing it, though, he asked if I had created a Porsche ID, password, and...

Ugh. Sorry to hear. Sounds like a dealer problem because I picked up my RWD 12 days ago without any issues. My dealership installed the latest updates before the car was assigned to my Porsche ID, so I don't understand how the new PCM update "broke the normal process." To avoid confusion, I...

PPF: Shane's Tint & Clear Bra in Peoria (623.933.1547) or 48 Detailing in Surprise (623.400.8880). Visit their websites to see what they offer in terms of quality and warranty. Also, I recommend getting full-body ceramic coating after the PPF is installed - adds lots of shine and makes...

Howdy fellow Taycan enthusiasts! For the past couple of months, I’ve been reviewing and comparing several great posts from colleagues about what to look for when picking up a new Taycan at the dealership. I’ve come across a few USA-based ideas of my own as old software and apps become obsolete...

Yes, but how long will it last if you drive it like a Porsche?

Ouch! I wonder what they would have said if you had the Porsche dashcam. Here in the USA, we have the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975 (link) which, among other provisions, prohibits product manufacturers from conditioning consumer warranties on the use of any original equipment part or...

Gents, I was wrong and corrected my comment #3 above. Thanks for prodding me to check more rigorously. Apologies for my mistake and ensuing confusion. When I close the door and walk away from the car without locking it (and putting both key fobs in a Faraday cage), the door handles retract...

Door handles presenting themselves is the Expanded Comfort Access feature on my RWD that I picked up less than two weeks ago. I unchecked it. I use the regular Comfort Access, and the side mirrors fold in if I touch the lock notch on any door handle, click the lock button on the key fob, or...

@magnusch , you may have a case. In mid-January 2022, I saved a screen shot from the USA configurator stating the Premium Package for my Taycan RWD included LED Headlights but not LED-Matrix Design Headlights like yours in Canada. When I paid my deposit on January 25, 2022, I received the...

@Dabz , if you scroll to the bottom of the comments, you'll find Similar threads that this website picks out. We're here to tickle our keyboards to treat you with our reasons for our personal choices. Some reasons will resonate with you, some will be tossed by you, and there may be that one...

@Dabz FWIW I found a thread comparing the colors: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/white-colour-range-comparison.2300/

Some will at a marked-up price, some will at a non-marked-up price (like mine), and some won't. Check with your dealer prior to your car's arrival. Ask what PPF will be used and how long the warranty is. If it doesn't meet your satisfaction, add PPF and ceramic after you take possession. I...

While I don't have side-by-side pictures, I believe a vehicle of Porsche's status must always sparkle in the sun and the shade. (BTW my RWD is Carrara White Metallic and is well worth the US$800 cost IMO.) Ceramic coating will make cleaning easier, and paint protection film (PPF) will keep...

Good to know, thanks - this is the EV stop for Phoenix-area residents to and from Las Vegas. There are several anti-nutritional eating establishments nearby (Five Guys is next to McDonalds, and a Culver's is 1/2 block north of the charging station). Thanks for taking the time to document your...

Thanks for the info - it matters for us here in Arizona USA. You'd think Porsche's software could make battery cooling in Range mode dependent on ambient temperature, but then it wouldn't be Range mode I guess. EDIT: here's the weather forecast for where I live - at least it'll be a dry heat!

Good thread - I miss a built-in sunglasses holder, too. So, I use two clip-on holders in my Taycan. The first one is only for my clip-on sunglasses, and I put it on the passenger visor. Only one hand is needed to take them out, clip them on, take them off, and put them back: The second...

Good idea. Could be, even if the clearance is small. OP (@Weston ), look at your discs to see if there's an extra tiny groove or scratch. Does the noise occur when braking in drive, reverse, or both?

No question is too daft for this crowd! Agreed. The Taycan decides how much braking is recuperation and how much is physical while maintaining (or perhaps with your extraordinary senses, striving to maintain) the same pressure point in the brake pedal. The Porsche Active Stability Management...
