Long on PR short on statistics.

My wife dropped me off and drove off in our Taycan without the key (it was in my pocket). Surprising, she made it about 5 miles to our house with lots of console messages about a missing key but otherwise no problem. Didn't think this would work but glad it did.

If the charging infrastructure is worse in Texas than in California, you have my sincere sympathy b.c. it's not particularly good or reliable in California in my experience. ElectrifyAmerica in particular is problematic/worrisome/anxiety producing/confusing especially when combined with the...

File under "We hate it when you try to use our free charging service."

Amazing deal.

On a two day 300-mile round trip I had occasion to charge up twice. To be fair, I haven't had occasion to use EA equipment in recent months. First time, Los Alamos, CA I had the 'pleasure' of watching several cars successfully hook up and charge from two different EA pumps. I my case, not so...

I'm not sure if the plan itself is on the following site but they do formally describe coverage: https://dealer.porsche.com/us/atlanta-northeast/en-US/finance-and-insurance/porsche-protection-plan/electric-vehicle-service-protection

i understood that you can cancel anytime for a pro-rated rebate based on miles and months remaining. I didn't notice anything in the PPA about a refund if not utilized.

I am looking at a recent copy of the Porsche Protection Plan, exclusion section. Two items concern me: EXCLUDED: Any of the following parts and/or services: hinges, glass, glass framework and fastening adhesives, lenses, sealed beams, body parts and/or panels, alignment of body parts, flexible...

One bid I got was about $10K for an additional 6 years which works out to $1,666/year. I wonder if your MA dealer is interested in out-of-state business?

I appreciate this but as there are at least 19 forum pages containing topics that touch on extended warranty I thought something specifically focused on the Porsche Protection Plan Protection warranty in the U.S. (which I was told only became available this year for the Taycan) might be useful.

I understand from a dealer that Porsche as of earlier this year is offering an extended up to 10 year warranty on Taycans. The warranty simply extends what came with the car (so it adds 5 years, I believe). For my car no inspection is needed (about 15K on a 2.4 yr old car). Other provisions as...

I sit as low as possible. But greatly appreciate this topic from which I gleaned the idea of using the #3 seat memory setting to raise the seat before exiting the car. Wow, that made it a lot easier to get out of the car and it's being added to my Taycan routine.

CarPlay works fine for me but using it seems to have boosted my cellular fees by about 20% as I have an economy plan. It turned out not to be difficult to copy about 3,000 .mp4a songs from Mac (my CDs) to iPhone. Now with both wifi & cellular off I'm still able to use Apple CarPlay but from my...

The new Apple iPad Pro offers a new option setting that limits maximum charging to 80% (unless overridden) by user. That's supposed to maximize life to iPad lithium batteries.

Yet another huge mistake on Musk's part. Tesla was within striking distance of becoming the Shell/Exxon/Mobil/Chevron/Arco for EVs and being able to create a near-monopoly of high-speed, available charging stations in the U.S. It could have been very lucrative and an excellent way of...

It's nearly impossible to understand how Newsom could make an announcement like that without some exec from Tesla standing next to him or at least putting out a PR announcement. As far as I can see from Tesla's California supercharger map there are the same 3 stations open to non-Tesla EVs as...

I've also noticed this on my Taycan … and no tinting. I wonder if somehow water got into the window during a car wash?

I'm a fan of the Citroen D21s. The Ioniq 6 reminds me of it.

When I bought my RWD Taycan in Los Angeles two years ago I was told by the Porsche outlet general manager that California law supersedes the Porsche battery warranty and provides a 10 year warranty. Apparently this is not the case, which is quite surprising and, frankly, disappointing. From...
