If these long-service times, delayed-service situations pertained to some California startup hand-making a few dozens cars each year it would be much more understandable.
I certainly appreciate the challenge of dealing with more and more diverse vehicles. Seeing a line of cars waiting for a charge would prove that point. I've not observed that. Instead it often looks like EA units or storage structure simply wasn't designed to be busy on a regular basis. That...
So today went to a station near San Luis Obispo (100 mi. north of Santa Barbara). Four units, all more or less disabled. One which had previously been labeled 350 Kwh was now 150 Kwh. My Porsche app indicated that unit "04" was 50 Kwh although the pump was now marked 350 Kwh.
Folks were calling...
Me too. On a recent trip to Monterey, CA there was only EA charger in the city (5 chargers in a Safeway parking lot). Of those, three were totally non-operational for me (Taycan) while I notice a Rivian charging w/out any difficulty at a fourth.
I can imagine the discussion at EA when they...
The NY Times just published an interesting article on the large percentage of charging stations which are broken at any given time.

I got the indoor Porsche cover and am actually thrilled with it. It's super quick and easy to put on or take off. Unlike other covers I've had, the Porsche cover is very easy to tell which end is the front and to find the side-mirror flaps. In terms of charging while covered, I've found it to be...
I've not had this problem thankfully. However, I did notice yesterday a couple of hours after returning to my garage that a parking light remaining on. Surprised, I opened the car and saw a message that a directional parking light was still on. Turns out that I'd parked the car with the right...
Recent passengers complained about visibility from the rear seats ... between the high back front seats and rear seats, not easy to see out compared w/ other vehicles.
I'd like it much more if it could sound like a 911, a Ferrari, a big truck, etc. Would amp up the gee-wiz factor kinda like changing the color on the ambient lights.
I also bought this from Amazon based on your recommendation. The fit is a bit snug but that's probably a good thing. I think this will be very handy, thank you.
I do think some clever person could design an even more useful shelved compartment to go in this interesting space on the Taycan...
You didn't indicate mileage. Other than obvious check-out features a concern in buying a used Taycan with greater than, say, 5,000 miles is whether the previous owner was in the habit of charging to 100% as that affects long-term battery longevity (to what degree??). Perhaps charging history is...
No doubt I would have failed the (in)famous marshmallow test (https://www.simplypsychology.org/marshmallow-test.html). When I learned on this forum about uncertain and interminable waits for custom-built Taycans I realized that such an indefinite wait for something I badly wanted would pretty...
Similar experience w/ bogus Collision Warning and quick auto-braking on divided highway at night, no nearby traffic, going about 72 mph. I've filed a report with NHTSA.
I notice there are options to pre-heat or pre-cool the battery but haven't seen clear guidance on when one of these actions is needed and how much improvement would be seen in terms of charging speed. Would appreciate any pointers. In my case charging is in a garage which typically has an...
fwiiw I had our high-quality tire store swap out my set of wheels. Stood and watched them jack up the car and do the necessary work. As far as I could tell it went quickly and perfectly using their standard equipment and procedures.
