    Western Europe Taycan road-trip report

    I thought it would be interesting to write about our experiences on our first road-trip with the Taycan 4S. For those interested in the exact spec, the Porsche Code is PMFBLBS1. So the high-level route over the next two weeks are: Ireland -> France -> Switzerland -> Italy -> Austria -> Germany...

    Switzerland

    I'm doing a road trip next week and I'll be spending a week in Switzerland. I'd appreciate guidance from any Swiss members or frequent drivers in Switzerland: I'm planning on mostly getting overnight charges at my hotels, but as a backup – can you in practice actually use the chargers at...

    Battery at low state-of-charge for past six weeks

    Thinking of upgrading the 4S to a Turbo or Turbo S

    I'm loving my 4S and its mostly been trouble free for me. Having come from a Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid, I think I am missing a little bit of the punch in the 4S - for example, when overtaking on a twisty Irish mountain road. My 4S is fairly heavily optioned and I'm trying to figure out what...

    Porsche Charging Service (EU) and Billing

    So I've been using the Porsche Charging Service for a few months now (all Ionity) and I've never received a bill, invoice or a charge against my card on My Porsche account. I've emailed Porsche Connect Helpline about it in Germany but they only give nonsense answers like - yes, you'll be...

    Wifi/Bluetooth function not available

    Neither my Wifi/Bluetooth function (randomly) are not available. Usually rebooting the PCM (via engineering mode) works, but that hasn't helped today and I rebooted a few times. This has also resulted in CarPlay (wired in using USB) also refusing to load. Its not very clear from the pics here...

    Stock vs custom?

    DAB radio transmission dies off in Ireland

    Radio remains popular in Ireland. I think a lot more were listening via DAB without realising it – as most cars will switch from FM to DAB where available. I'm glad that Internet Radio on the Taycan is available. https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2021/0302/1200334-rte-dab-network/
