Hi folks,
I've had two service intervals: after two years, four years and soon 6 years (or is it kilometers/miles, whatever comes first?).
Does someone know what exactly are in the intervals?
I mean, like when do they replace brake fluid, interior filter, brake pads etc?
I'd like to service my...
Chinese are impressed by the Taycan, that's pretty obvious.
The SAIC Z7 en Z7T are the biggest compliment you can give to Porsche.
Congratulations Porsche, well done! 🎁🎉🥳

I came across this.
It looks pretty simple but what about charging and monitoring the 12V battery?
Normally, the Taycan's 12V battery last for a very long time, some say more than 10 years.
But maybe it's a nice to try for people who are having trouble waking up their 12V battery when it's...
A very handy battery monitoring device, the Ancel BM200.
It connects by Bluetooth and you can monitor your battery voltage live.
I installed it on my Microlino cuz it doesn't have any remote services.
I thought I'd share it here, it may come in handy for the Taycan to install it in too.
At least...
On the 5th of August I got the letter but nothing happened.
PS My car is white, not blue. 🤗
Until yesterday.
So today I started the OTA update.
All went well and after 30 minutes it was done, no problem whatsoever.
First I was afraid it didn't work with a 2020 model but it had one OTA...

Is Porsche affected by this?
Anyone ordered a Taycan and has heard of a possible delay in delivery?
As we all know, the cooling fans can get seized due to rocks, debris and sand due to poor louver design.
The bottom left louvers are a good design but 3/4 of them are just utterly shitty.
What was Porsche thinking??
I checked mine and the left fan was seized, the right one was still ok.
I...
I was curious what would happen if I don't renew my Porsche Connect subscription.
What's gone:
No satellite view in nav (and instruments cluster).
No profiles (only timers are there).
No car information in app (tire pressure, battery level, consumption, etc).
No destination sending to car...
I'm monitoring my 12V battery in the tube on my dashboard, I always did.
Normally it's 13,6V, when it charges it's 14,4V, all ok.
After the recall of my HV battery and s/w updates last month I saw my 12V battery was charging, 14,4V in the tube.
All ok.
No problem.
Normally, when the 12V battery...
I got an offer from my dealer to extend my warranty for the second time.
All together I have used the extended warranty only once (2 years for €1500, special offer) so total warranty time is about 4,5 years until it ends in december 2024.
My car has been pretty much trouble-free but now I have...
I spoke to a technical friend of mine and he knows a thing or two about Porsche.
If your SoH may look lower than expected you can recalibrate the battery.
Porsche uses the following method [edited]
-Drive the battery below 2% SoC.
-Don't drive or charge the car for at least 6,5 hours...
Rims are chemically stripped, blasted and powdercoated.
Something different for the Stormtrooper.
First impression when I put them on the car: clean look.
The brakes stand out much more.
I like it!
I was kinda fed up by the tire shop cuz every time there was a little damage to the rims.
Also...
Haha, not actual Center Locks but center caps of black anodized aluminum in the shape of center locks for Taycan.
They withstand winters with salt on the roads (I'm from the Netherlands).
They served about 3 years, still look like new (see pics).
Box is a bit damaged though.
Looking for €40.
I thought I knew everything about the Taycan.
But no, I think I found a new "feature".
When you're in Range mode you can't select a higher speed for (A)CC than the max speed which is set in Range mode.
Yesterday I had to speed up when in Range mode to about 160 km/h but when I selected ACC the...
Looks like someone found a way to increase power on a Taycan/RS e-Tron GT.
It's in Germany but can be done by yourself if I understood it correctly.
Powerboost now on all the time.
Vmax raised etc.
Take a look HERE
Hi guys,
I'm being offered a special extended warranty cuz I'm a "regular customer and Taycan driver" although my car is already 30 months old so my 24 months of factory warranty is already over by 6 months...
I'm being offered three choices:
1 year €911, normally €1850.
2 year €1678, normally...
I always charge to 85% and this was my SoH in augustus when I first monitored my battery.
That was after 23.000km
I know that degradation is the most in the first 10%, after that it'll slow down but still 90,3% isn't what I expected...
So, I changed my charging habbit and set it to 100% to...
