Adrian, thanks for this write up. You guys did the PPF for my Ice Grey 4S a couple of months ago. I would love to drive this course in a Taycan 4S, but I would prefer it not be mine:) I was lucky enough to drive there during a Porsche experience day a couple of years ago in 911 and Panamera...

I have the passenger display and so far have found it to be mainly a geewhiz gimmick with little practical value. Maybe useful in a longer trip if your co-pilot wants to select music and navigation. But, for us after three months in our 4S it is one I would eliminate.

Bumping this to see if anyone else has had this problem with a Tesla wall connector and Tesla Tap Mini.

Please say more. I'm confused how it can be a wiring issue in the house if the TWC charges the Model 3 P at the 50 am setting with no problem?

I have a 2021 4s with PP battery. I have a Tesla Gen 3 wall charger and a 60 amp Tesla Tap Mini wired to a 50 amp circuit. When I charge the car with the TWC set at 50 amp (40 amp delivered) it will charge for a while, but then I routinely get a charging error and red lights on the TWC. The...

When I considered leasing our 2021 4S by my calculations the residual value of the car would need to be less than 40% after three years to make leasing a better deal financially than buying/financing. And that math was based on a 7% discount on MSRP and the buy rate for the MF of 0.002, not the...

Since Range mode defaults to recuperation off, that seems like a pretty good indicator that Porsche thinks that is the most efficient mode.

I negotiated 7% discount on a custom 4S ordered in January and delivered in April. I spoke to my salesman a couple of weeks ago. They had almost no new inventory of ANY Porsche model. He said there were no discounts now. Supply and demand.

I know everyone, including myself, is eager to get the new update (I have not had the loss of power issue but only have 1000 miles on my 4S to date). I have had a Tesla Model 3 Performance for about 15 months. While there are frequent OTA updates (many of which have minimal information on what...

As an update. After I lowered the Tesla Wall Charger to 40 amps in the settings menu (still physically connected to a 50 amp circuit) the Taycan charged fine, albeit at a slower rate. Any experts out there with a theory of why I am getting errors at 50 amp setting? The slower charging will be...

I contracted the people at Tesla Tap Mini. They say “there is there is circuit or anything in the Mini that can sign an overcurrent situation, this is done completely in the HPWC.” They recommended I reduce the Tesla wall charger to 40 amps and try that. I did and the car is currently...

OP here. I’m still encountering a charging error when I use my Tesla Gen 3 wall charger with a Tesla Tap mini. The car starts charging and provides an estimated time for completion of charge, but at some point after that the error occurs and a red flashing light appears on the Wall Charger...

Today I took the 4S to an EA 350 charger in Reston VA (beside their corporate HQ). The plug and charge seemed to work, though the connection took a couple of minutes to start the charge. The screen noted I was part of the Taycan charging program, so I don't think it was simply a "free charge"...

The wall charger is set to deliver 40 amps and that is confirmed on restart when four green light illuminate on front panel (5 lights would indicate 48 amps, the max for the generation 3 charger). So far no solution from Tesla Tap. They suggested resetting wall charger, but I have done that already.

A follow up on my original post. The technician at the dealership checked for errors in the Taycan related to the charging error. He said it appeared the error was related to the charger, not the car. He did not find any faults in the car. He tested the car charging on the dealership AC...

You video is exactly what my car was doing.

OP here. There may be an element of user error here. When the tow driver arrived, he assumed it was the 12 volt battery issue. When I described the problem, he sat in the car and confirmed the screens had power, but would not boot. Then he did something I had neglected to do, he pushed the...

Called for tow service. I was afraid of this scenario before ordering based on reports on this forum..........Two week old car with less than 300 miles.

Sorry, some additional information on this case. The Tesla wall charger was flashing 7 red lights. Per the manual this means “Vehicle Overcurrent Detected” with the following description: Reduce the vehicle's charge current setting. If the issue persists and the attached vehicle is...

Looking for suggestions for following situation. 2021 4S in service for two weeks. I use a Tesla generation 3 wall charger and a Tesla Tap Mini for home charging. I have used it several times before without a problem. Last night I plugged in car on the passenger port at about 57% SOC. There...
