    Does 2020 Taycans have problems at Tesla superchargers?

    Thank you for posting this info ... and congratulations!! I'll ask my dealer if they checked that out when they tried to debug this problem. If you have any more information on the code or even the tech's name that solved the problem, it would be most appreciated. My dealership has tried twice...

    Poll: Charging Taycan at a Tesla Supercharger in the U.S.

    I was thinking of saying "U.S. only" ... I'll change the poll. Thank you.

    Poll: Charging Taycan at a Tesla Supercharger in the U.S.

    This poll attempts to determine the percentage of Taycan owners who have attempted to charge at a Tesla Supercharger and the level of success when they attempt to charge at a Tesla SC.

    Does 2020 Taycans have problems at Tesla superchargers?

    By my casual count SteveBruin is the fourth person on this forum to report an inability to charge at Tesla SCs. I'm one of the four. Folks are very helpful at suggesting trying the Tesla App first, etc. but in my case neither I nor my dealer have been able to successfully charge my Taycan at a...

    Is it possible to upgrade the rear camera?

    Seems pricey but if it was available in the U.S. and returnable inside the U.S. I'd try it and buy it if I liked it.

    Taycan 4S Battery not charging to max mileage range. Feedback requested.

    Mine just accidentally charged to 100% yesterday ... don't understand why. I thought I'd fixed that setting last time ... anyway, my Porsche phone app reports 100%, 247 mi. I did not do any pre- battery heating and the ambient temperature overnight hereabouts was in the 60° F. range. I have to...

    MagSafe Phone Holder

    I also ordered one. Unfortunately I got a bit enthusiastic about the swivel aspect and broke the narrow connection point. The company was kind enough to ship me a replacement for that part and I've now got the unit installed. It's very easy to install, snug and removable if necessary. I'm very...

    Was the buffer hand-powered, battery-powered or electric?

    What Happens To Us After 8 Years? (When battery warranty expires)

    My local Porsche shop was replacing a Taycan battery. Attached are a shot of the battery on a workbench and the underside of the Taycan w/out battery.

    Tesla Charging does not work as promised

    Thanks for the comment. I felt my post was already too long so left out the part that my Porsche dealer has checked the car out twice and told me that a) they can't find a problem and b) they can't charge the car either (there is a nearby 400v SC).

    Tesla Charging does not work as promised

    Gee, I think Porsche as the world's premier sports car manufacturer has to do more than shrug off the inability to charge at a Tesla SC as "good luck, it's hit or miss" ... Porsche PR-announced the availability of charging at Tesla SCs as a sales plus and they distributed and sold a Porsche...

    Tesla Charging does not work as promised

    Using the Tesla app I can navigate to Tesla SCs and select a pump but my Taycan will not charge. I've tried this at four local Tesla SC (both 3s and 4s), all open to non-Teslas. A few Taycans, including mine using a Porsche adapter, cannot be charged at these stations for reasons unknown. I'm...

    What's the best alternative to the Taycan?

    I have one ... unfortunately the baby blue color doesn't seem to be available in the U.S. so I ended up getting a white one for my wife. It's a great city/suburban vehicle ... at least as much fun to drive around the city as the Taycan. However, the Taycan is much more comfortable, more solid...

    My Taycan is back!

    It's really going to hurt when some unfortunate discovers in Year 9 that their $1xx,xxx investment 9 years ago is living on borrowed time: if the batteries fail the car is essentially totaled ... not worth fixing. I've read that the average cost of driving a new or nearly new model is about...

    NHTSA Complaint - While DC charging at Tesla, electrical fault. HV battery controller, other components failed - March 26, 2026

    So sorry to hear this. Had you previously successfully charged at this or another Tesla SC?

    Tesla Charging does not work as promised

    To my count three forum members (including myself) have reported inability to charge at a Tesla SC via the Porsche adapter or other adapters despite many attempts and asking their dealer for help (to no avail). The fact that you succeeded at least once is great news for you and your Taycan.

    Taycan Gen1 vs Gen2 appearance - which looks better ?

    Yeah, this does looks pretty good in blue!

    Next gen (second generation) Taycan platform is "locked" and coming late 2027

    I'd like to see the original lights and 'tear drops' come back. That is a unique, classic look and if it costs a few miles of range, I couldn't care less. I was planning to upgrade to the '25 model until I saw what they did to the front end, in particular. And I got from BMW to the Taycan I...
