    Slip, Sliding, Away - DO NOT LEAVE YOUR TAYCAN ON AN INCLINE ON SNOW...... BAD DAY AT THE OFFICE PT2

    Likely the tires cooled some after sitting, and the longer they sit the harder they are getting. Eventually 2+ ton car will start sliding. Since sliding friction is less than static friction, it's not going to slow down until it hits something. If it was faulty parking brakes, then it...

    Probably first snow after getting car, and people learning about summer tires in the winter.... :P

    Slip, Sliding, Away - DO NOT LEAVE YOUR TAYCAN ON AN INCLINE ON SNOW...... BAD DAY AT THE OFFICE PT2

    Those are summer tires, and they'll be hockey pucks in weather like that. It slid, no doubt. At least you only hit your own family's other car, and no-one was in either car, because it'd be pretty easy to get into a real accident out in traffic driving on those tires in snow.

    Ask a Porsche Dealer Anything

    The next question is what rear seat design do you get if you select 18-way, and the ski bag. I'd bet it's the same as the 2+1.

    Concurrent seat heating and cooling

    It's heating and ventilation. So if it's cold, and you had a couple of bean burritos for lunch, you can operate both at the same time.

    X

    I've done 2 road trips to Vegas and back from the Bay Area in the past 2 months, and I had no issues charging at EA stations. So it's pretty hit and miss.

    hands free opening of trunk

    Works almost every time for me. Don't kick too fast, and give it a second after kicking for something to happen.

    US 3-Phase Charging

    How many wires is the 3 phase? If there's a neutral, you can grab any phase and use it. If there's no neutral (meaning a delta configuration) then grab any 2. Or just get an appropriate transformer (if you want 240V) If you are trying to use all 3 phases, then likely just the 3-phase...

    US 3-Phase Charging

    *edit* Removed because I was confusing split 120V vs 208V 3-phase.... more comments below.

    CarPlay wifi ?

    I have the ProClip for holding the phone, and it's been great. I just have the magnetic mount. Half the time I'm too lazy to even plug in the phone. I do always take it out of my pocket for fear of it falling out or getting crushed trying to get in and out of the car. :P

    Electrify America Question

    I've completed two 1000mi round trips now and I had no issues with the Charging NA app or with EA chargers.

    Plug and Charge just worked for me

    If I had to guess I lean towards a free session, just because I doubt EA has their stuff together enough to have it work yet

    Plug and Charge just worked for me

    I’m charging at Barstow and when I plugged in it started charging without any interaction from the app. Pretty cool, since I was trying to get Porsche connect to find my location and it surprised me by starting to charge.

    Your thoughts on the RWD Taycan coming 2021?

    I think people interested in the RWD are going to have to see what options are standard on that model in their region. I expect that it will have a number of things missing, as that's how Porsche does things. The RWD pricing is all marketing anyway.

    Surprise Gift from Porsche

    I got the book and pen package today, and laughed when I read the booklet and it mentioned that there is WiFi access through the cars connection... One of these years it'll get enabled. :P

    Charging is not possible - Grounding device error

    It'll update over WiFi. You can go through the menus to force a check.

    Consumer Reports on Taycan (and Tesla)

    Internet forums are terrible places to gather anything other than anecdotal data. Participants are self-selecting for many things, and you'd have a terrible time trying to infer anything about the general population based on forums.

    Don Breaks His Taycan - The Saga of the 12v Battery

    I don't think the "doing something different waiting for the car" is unique to the PMCC and the Taycan. My ChargePoint definitely makes different sounds of relays closing depending on if the wife's Bolt starts charging when plugged in, or if it's waiting to start charging later. I hear the...

    First CPO Taycan Turbo S for sale @ Porsche Grapevine

    I appreciate your contributions to the forum (and I'm just armchair modding here), but doesn't this post (and other posts like it) belong in the Marketplace somewhere? I expect to start seeing a bunch more of these as cars have been out there for a year. :P

    NEMA 14-50 position in garage for PMCC

    There's no transformer in the EVSE, so I wouldn't expect any issues when things are given the distance apart you are stating. Of course, if the speaker wire is close and parallel to a high-current wire there could be some inductive coupling, but at the distances you mention, I'd seriously...
