This worked for me. I hope it “sticks”. Thanks.

I received my 2021 4S on Thursday. I love the car, but it seems not to be remembering settings. I have the key with me when I am making the changes and the car has connectivity, at least for my phone and the LTE symbol on the PCM is on. Suggestions?

Car arrived at dealer this morning and they are trying to push it out today for end of month/quarter targets. Salesman says car is updated, but I’m not sure he understands what I am asking. If I go to drive the car today, how can I ensure update has been applied before I take delivery? I’m in...

TMD has now updated to show my 4S as undergoing port processing in Baltimore, so no errant ride to Jacksonville.

Track my dream was working pretty well for my 4S until the car went on the boat at Emden. The Goodwood arrived in Baltimore, my port, last Friday and left of Saturday or Sunday. The TMD website still shows the car as being on the ship, and the ship track now has it at what appears to be...

Current MF is 4.8%. For my ordered 4S with an MSRP of about $142K, the residual is 55% with 36/7500. I live in Washington, DC where there is no sales tax when an EV is purchased, but 10%/month use tax on lease payments for all cars (I'm not sure if this is intentional to encourage purchase...

Anyone have a digital version of 2021 Taycan Owners manual. The good to know app in the US still seems to only have the 2020 and I cannot find it in any of the threads on this forum (sorry if my search missed it). I would like to start familiarizing myself with the features of the car while...

I agree that the M3P is a great car. It was my first EV and it has convinced me EV is the way to go for the future. But, it is not a luxury/sports car and it has little feeling of “exclusivity,“ at least not in the DC area where M3’s are multiplying like rabbits. I came to the M3P from a BMW...

Can you post your Porsche code? Interesting to see what choices you decided on. So far I have only seen one Taycan “in the wild” in the DC area, but that is probably because I am doing so little driving due to the pandemic and working from home. Hopefully there will be enough “opening up” by...

After canceling an order for a 4S last spring when the market crashed at the start of the pandemic, I placed a new order for a 4S as described below. In the interim, I purchased a Model 3 Performance. That car has a lot of nice attributes, but is not what I was really looking for. When the 4S...

On the configurator, if you do not select the Mobile Charger Connect option and try to add the 25 ft cable, the configurator adds the Mobile Charger Connect upgrade. Anyone know if the standard Mobile Charger can be configured with the 25ft cable?

I have no insight into the rumored software update other than what I have read on this forum. The software and electronics problems reported here almost convinced me to back out of the order. I am hopeful solutions can be found soon; I’m not a software engineer, but it seems many of the...

daveo4EV, while I don’t fully agree with your assessment of the potential adverse impact of finding a 400V station without the 150 kWh onboard charger (unless it is very remote, it seems a full charge would not be required to travel to the next 800 V DC charger) I take your point about the low...

While I'm waiting for my 4S I have been exploring the ABRP app. I have it set for reference consumption of 325 Wh/mi at 65 mph (based on some of the range tests I have seen for the 4S). When I put in longer distance journeys (such as DC to LA) the app creates a lot of stops after about 100...

After considering the number of 400 volt charging stations that are greater than 50 kw in my area and my likely charging patterns (mostly at home and at EA stations on trips), I deleted the 150 kw onboard charger from my 4S order that will lock this week. I don't think I will miss it. For most...

At about 12:30 on the video he addresses the 150 kw/400 volt charger option on the Taycan. He says all 150 kw DC fast chargers in the US are 800 volt, so the option is not needed. I know this has been debated in other threads. So, is he right that 400 volt DC fast chargers in the US max out at...

So, does this mean the Mobile Charger Plus is now standard in the Taycan in the US? I note the standard equipment list on the configurator refers to supply cables for 120 and 240 (NEMA 14-50) are included, but the list does not include reference to the charger (unless I’m missing it somewhere)

Did you do this work yourself? If so, how and where did you get the carbon fiber?

At current Porsche lease rates for a 4S (55% residual for 36 mo/7500 miles and 0.002 MF) I estimate that the resale at the end of 3 years would need to be less than 45% of MSRP for the lease option to be the better deal versus buying in cash (not counting any return on investment of the money...

Yes, a cash purchase is probably overall the least expensive option, no finance charges and no DC sales tax. While the cash could be earning a return if invested, given today's low rates of return on safe investments, it is unlikely it would offset even the low APR available for new car loans...
