    VW Group EVs to Get Tesla Supercharger Access September 9, 2025

    If you get a chance, could you point out where these NACS features are described. I couldn't find it on my app. Thx.

    VW Group EVs to Get Tesla Supercharger Access September 9, 2025

    I was under the impression that Kia was added in April or May of this year. That recent addition was why I was hoping for more by now. On a recent trip to Northern California I found EA stations to be working better and faster generally. Still, this is a real opportunity for Tesla to dominate EA...

    VW Group EVs to Get Tesla Supercharger Access September 9, 2025

    Any update on the availability date for Porsche, etc. charging at Tesla SuperChargers using a CCS adapter?

    Alignment needed?

    About 18 months ago I was told by the Porsche dealership that an alignment was needed however our local excellent tire store folks didn't agree after inspecting the tires. I've since replaced all four with Michelin Sport — still no re-alignment — and the car and tires seem fine. I'm keeping an...

    Scraped my wheel…can this be fixed?

    I have Porsche coverage on this and they beautifully repaired a pretty serious case of wheel rash.

    Charging Two EVs at Home

    I'm charging two EVs with a 40A 220V charger I got after Porsche recalled theirs and it's super easy and have not once run into a 'demand conflict'. My new charger has a 30-foot cord which might come in handy in some 2-car-charging situations. Suggest trying it with one before going to all the...

    2021 or 2022 Taycan 4s?

    I extended my warranty through my Porsche dealer to the maximum months allowed without any inspection. Of course my original warranty was/is still in effect.

    J2 Taycan Speculation?

    * Better lane keeping if option is selected

    Porsche is now listed on Tesla’s site for supercharger access

    Perhaps old news but my Tesla app now accepts my Taycan once you say Yes to the q. whether you have an approved adapter. I used said adapter yesterday for my Hyundai Ioniq and wonder if there is a down side to trying it with the Taycan?

    This is my rationale for keeping my 4-year-old Taycan for at least 2 more years

    Time will tell but certainly agreed that the entire range is/was overpriced and it hard to correct that. I was under the impression that Porsche was committed to addressing battery issues, so that's news.

    This is my rationale for keeping my 4-year-old Taycan for at least 2 more years

    That's interesting. I was actually thinking that low mileage Taycans in great condition would level off and even start to rise in resale value after 7-9 years because the cost of new Porsche (and similar) EVs in the early 2030s would probably average in the $200K range. If you could get a...

    Recent Charger Upgrade

    Is it possible that your home 220v outlet is sub-optimal in some regard? There are some specific manufacturers that were highly recommended for EV charging at home back when this was a hot topic on this forum. Perhaps check with your installer to see which company made the outlet you are using...

    This is my rationale for keeping my 4-year-old Taycan for at least 2 more years

    I have a '21 base model bought new in '22. About 26K miles now and recently got the long-term Porsche extended warranty. Plan to keep the Taycan until 2032 at which point the average annual cost of this amazing vehicle will be the same or less than the average cost of owning a vehicle in the...

    Extended Warranty Pricing from Porsche - 2025

    Thank you for posting this. This schedule is in line with what I paid, also in California. Folks often post that they are able to get pretty deep discounts from the above numbers (which also depend on the age and mileage of each vehicle) but I couldn't find any dealers who will reliably/openly...

    Rear camera for 2020 Taycan 4 S

    I put a front-facing camera on my Ioniq6 since the car didn't have that ... it worked out quite well. The combination camera/solar panel screws to the license plate and then the monitor plugs into cigarette lighter outlet inside the car. No external wiring needed. The monitor I choose is 5-inch...

    Why are Service Depts so bad in the East Bay?

    Woodland Hills near L.A. specialized in Taycan sales and has a great service department.

    Porsche is now listed on Tesla’s site for supercharger access

    No idea how the Porsche/Tesla setup with work but as far as the Hyundai goes I found when I signed up for the Tesla Supercharge system the app asked for make and model, had me enter a credit card to pay for any charge on the their system and agree that the adapter was from the non-Tesla mfg...

    Porsche is now listed on Tesla’s site for supercharger access

    Sorry to be (more than) a bit dense ... is this a bit of irony in that 'why wouldn't you want higher amperage?' or is there really a problem with using A2Z instead?

    Porsche is now listed on Tesla’s site for supercharger access

    My understanding is that at least in the U.S. Tesla only wants to support non-Teslas for charging at Superchargers is IF the mfg. of the non-Tesla supplies an adapter. For example, Hyundai is already OK'd to charge at Tesla SuperChargers but the Hyundai community (I have one) is still in a wait...

    battery recall/campaigns

    My dealer tested, told me the batteries passed and that I no longer had any charging restrictions. So I went back to typically charging to 85%. Hope I got good advice.
