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...
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...
My car is waiting on a new AC charger for past six weeks (see: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/i-have-the-22kw-ac-charger-installed-anyways.4023/post-81910).
I had the car recovered to my Porsche Centre at 4% state-of-charge and it held there for past few weeks. Now, it appears to...
No matter what I do, I can't get my car's data connection to connect. I have tried:
Engineering reboot
Locking car and walking away (key out of range) for 20 mins, one hour and overnight
I am in an area with a strong cell signal from the network that Porsche use locally. When I open the...

Just a quick shout out for the Juice Booster 2. Its getting a lot of use recently at hotels that don't have dedicated chargers. You'd be surprised at how many different industrial and sometimes 3-phase sockets that are...
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...
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...
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...
Am I alone in disliking anything that isn't stock on my Porsche's? I dislike:
stick on carbon fibre
anything that lowers the car
wraps/not-stock colours
aftermarket wheels
third party mats
ali-express key covers
non-factory tinted windows – especially if illegally dark in EU
non Porsche...
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.

China only for now, coming to Europe and North America in Q3. Not Porsche rated specifically, wonder will they get a NF0 variant ?
