Horrendous
The interior looks nice though - only 3 materials: matte aluminium/metal, corning gorilla glass ( and leather. All physical switches, no software buttons.
Has anyone tried to apply sound deadening material to the wheel wells on the taycan?
Most of the noise, beside rattles, on the taycan is road noise. So some deadening material might have a bigger impact than on ICE cars.
Example of materials...
So first they removed it from the website, to put it in the app.
The app used to redirect you to the website, to see your contracts, among which was warranty also.
Now they are shown in the app only, without redirect, but warranty is not one of them.
Who is in charge of this mess? My god...
I decided to make this thread to track PCM versions and their differences.
PCM software versions:
3882 - what 90% of taycans are running
3885 - stability improvment update for 3882
39xx to 40xx - intermediary versions, visible in PIWIS. No confirmed cars running these versions.
4338 one...
Point of note:
4C/400kw charging ; up to 50% - 14min for 10-80%
new infotainment system with curved screen
1000hp for the turbo
108kw battery - 500-600km of claimed WLTP range (estimation shown by car at 88% of 341km), less than BMWs latest offerings of 800km WLTP SUVs
expected price of 180k+...
Just had an unpleasant experience on the autobahn.
Mid-drive the car/pcm signed me out by itself; and in the process disengaged line assists / innodrive, resulting in an almost crash.
Log-in doesn’t work anymore: “Log-in not available at the moment. QR code not available at the moment”

Porsche and Aston Martin are the 2 car brands that started working with Apple on the new iteration of apple car play; and the brands that are supposed to get it first.
Well, Aston Martin was faster than the slowest car brand in software, Porsche, and updated their car play intergation to Car...
Anyone knows if these can be replaced and what the cost would be? I am assuming warranty doesn’t cover their color ?
Mine starting turning blue after 4+ years of use, rather than remaining black
Porsche is modernising its PCM: greater performance and new features

Since this car has been discussed quite a lot on this forum, and many claims of it never coming to production with that power and configuration, I thought it might be appropriate to post some reviews of it, as the car has started shipping to customers since early March/ late Feb:
The car comes...
New battery chemistry, new platform
However, even in china there is no infrastructure for these speeds; with a few hundred 5C/5.5C (500+ kwh) chargers deployed around china.
The new stations are produced by BYD only for now, and there will be few of them.
BYD was lagging behind in terms of...
Just got this video thrown at me on my youtube feed. Seems the Rivian ivestment is paying sooner rather than later for VW.
The VW ID.1 is scheduled for late 2026 to early 2027.
Quite a bit late when comparing to how fast chinese put out cars, but assuming it ships at the price they say it...

Just updated my app and received this
The climate control in control center works fine.
Don’t really get what the monthly trip data is about? We always had trip data.
I saw this interesting post on reddit. Seems like J1.2 is getting a new and improved OTA and many other changes in the backend of PCM. It seems that OTA will be carried out over your personal phone internet connections, via the Porsche app; thus ensuring more stable connection than via the...
Has anyone tried this body kit?
https://www.zacoe.com/product-list/Porsche/Taycan.html
I saw it the other day in a pass by; and the spoiler looked amazing. Haven't seen any like this on a Taycan until now.
Does anyone have experience with Zacoe? Are they quality products?
The price for the...
My car got called again to Porsche, directly from the dealer - so no formal notice, for additional battery work, by order from Porsche central.
This follows 2 months after my car going in for ARA4 recall.
He is saying the campaign number is WRE3. Has anyone seen this / had this? I haven't found...
