    Official Porsche documented guidance for the 12v battery

    Is there a Porsche official document for guidance related to the 12v battery? How it should be maintained or treated in abnormal conditions? Such as longer than 3 months storage without an electrical source, disconnection from the HVB system or any other scenario where it cannot benefit from the...

    WTB Porsche Wall Charger Connect

    Before anyone jumps all over me about how shitty this thing is....read on. I am looking for one, preferably a non working unit but with an intact cable because I only plan to use the cable. The plug at the end of the cable on mine is damaged and while it says connection established, that is...

    How long is too long for my Taycan to sit without being driven?

    My Taycan is at the dealer, has been since May 24th and for the vast majority of that time, it has just sat. Using the Ring dashcam I can see it hasn't moved or been started since July 3rd. The MY is 2020 so the 12v battery is already "old". Is this kind of sitting aging it faster than my daily...

    ARB0 recall and Symptom-based workshop manual Service 146/21ENU 4652

    My MY2020 Turbo is at the dealer. I dropped it off there End of May. I initially brought it in due to a noise from the front right wheel when turning left at low speeds without applying the brakes. Being aware of the recall ARB0 I wanted to be certain this wasn't related. I also have some issues...

    Noise from the right front when turning left

    A noise has developed that seems to be emanating from the front right wheel area when I turn slight left. A sharp left seems to silence it. The noise is like a chirp and a whistle in one continuous sound. Like it has a slight reverberation in it. Not sure if my camera picked it up. While...

    Could this have happened in 3k miles?

    So the other day I am washing the car and noticed a screw head in the front tire. One TPMS warning so I did have to add a few pounds. I have the Fidelity plan so I figured, take it in and have it checked. The tires are at 4/32 so I knew going in, getting time to replace. I sometimes park with...

    Preheat/Precool function, what is it doing?

    So I've noticed when the temperature is cold out, the Taycan charges much slower. A recent road trip when it was in the low 40's out had the Taycan charging under 100kWh at EA 350 kWh stations. I tried the preheat feature but all that seemed to do was turn on the steering wheel heater, seat...

    <insert colorful metaphor> People Are The Reason EVs Suck

    In a way, I am glad my year of free EA charging is almost up. I will charge at home from now on and only charge in public if I have no other choice. Having taken the Taycan on several 800 mile road trips in the past year and using the EA network across several states, I will not miss public...

    New vehicle infotainment message: Cancellations Ready

    So yesterday I saw a message on the screen that said something about a cancellation ready. I meant to look into it but forgot. Today again, the same message. I haven't called Porsche yet because I loathe doing so which is why I am checking here first. I don't have any expired subs, I don't...

    Issues with cellphone GPS in the cabin

    Has anyone else with the insulated glass had issues with cell phone GPS while inside the car? I have found with my iphones 13 Pro & 15 Pro that apps which use the GPS like Waze, are reporting no GPS signal, frequently. It usually means not having reliable directions. If I put the phone outside...

    PWCC won't charge Taycan but 3rd party charger will

    I have a Porsche Wall Charger Connect and lately I have noticed it will not charge the Taycan but It will charge the Cayenne. When plugged into the Taycan, it just never communicates with the vehicle while the Cayenne completes the handshake and charges. The odd thing is, I can charge the...

    Replacing/Repairing Porsche Wall Charger Connect Plug Connector

    Has anyone had to repair the plug that connects to the vehicle? My daughter was traversing the garage the other day and misjudged how high to lift her foot because it caught the cable plugged into the car and pulled it. It didn't disconnect from the car but instead broke the plastic. Now the...

    Sluggish & unresponsive Infotainment, XM cuts out audio & "To Open Let Go Of Handle And Try Again"

    I have a few issues with our Taycan that I'd like to get a sense if they are unique to ours or experienced by others. The title says it all but to elaborate a little, at times the center touchscreen which is the primary means we use of interacting with the infotainment system will become...

    MyPorsche app lost connection & Taycan has a cross out through LTE symbol

    Title summarizes what is wrong, the MyPorsche app won't communicate with the Taycan. I noticed the center display near the time has a slash out through the LTE symbol. I called PCNA and was advised I'd have to perform a factory reset with no guarantee it will restore connectivity. She said only...

    Active Lane Keep, Hands Free or Glorified Lane Keep Assist?

    I am in the trial period of the ALK and tried using it once. I was on a major interstate and set the ACC to my desired speed. I then lifted my fingers from the steering wheel but kept a light touch to take control if needed. The system seemed to behave very much like LKA in that it made steering...

    Need some Thule help, Thule itself is useless

    Hi, I recently purchased the following Thule roof rack components but I have been unable to get the Fixpoint system to bolt to the anchor points. The three pieces together don’t sit on the roof properly, there is a gap on the inboard side of 1/4 inch. If I remove the hard plastic piece that...

    Would you upgrade?

    Porsche will upgrade existing Taycans to the faster 19.2kW on-board AC charging through the dealer network. This cuts the charge time at home to something like 6 hours for the upgraded battery. I'm considering it so I am wondering what the general consensus is regarding this option/upgrade. I...

    Less than impressed with PCNA

    I took delivery of a CPO on 2/7 and was assured that the remainder of the charging time would transfer as well as Porsche Connect and that after logging in using my Porsche ID, the Innodrive, PIRM and ALK would then activate. This far, the Innodrive and ALK seem to be working. When the ACC is...

    Using Tesla chargers with adapter -- which side's charging port?

    I picked up a converter which will allow charging my Taycan off of a Tesla charger but I noticed the adapter doesn't make use of the two plugs beneath the J1772 on the passenger side charge port. What would be the maximum charge rate using a Tesla charger seeing as it is limited to just the...

    To ceramic coat PPF or not to

    I am talking with some area shops about having our Taycan fully wrapped. It seems each shop is touting having the Xpel coated in ceramic but my understanding of ceramics is that it has a Mohs rating between 3 and 7. Fingernails are 2.5 so if the average ceramic product falls in the middle, say...
