    Porsche Dashcam - issues with Parking mode.

    Whilst my car was at the dealers for its service and battery recall, they also reset the Dashcam, as I had been unable to connect to it. However, now it no longer automatically goes into parking mode when I stop the car. When I go onto the app and connect to the Dashcam, in the ‘modes’...

    2023 Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo GTS - range

    My car is now 2 years old and has done almost 19,000 miles. Most of those have been relatively short journeys to the station for work etc, charged at home on a 22kw charger, but often much slower via our solar panels. Longer trips have been built around Ionity high performance chargers...

    Ionity charging error

    I had the following charging error at Ionity (Bodmin) today, having had the same issue at Ionity (Bristol) a month or so ago. Is this likely to be an Ionity / Charger issue or a car issue?

    Porsche Tracker (driver’s card) - Vodafone (UK)

    After just over one year, both driver’s cards are telling me they have a low battery. I assume it’s just a CR2032, so should be a fairly easy swap, however I‘m not clear exactly how you open them up to access the battery, and I don’t want to break it by forcing the wrong part. I’m struggling...

    Half price Ionity charging

    Am I right in thinking the half-price Ionity charging on a new Taycan is for 3 years, not 12 months? I stopped at Ionity today and tapping my Porsche RfiD card didn’t activate as normal and I was left to pay full price using the Ionity app Have I missed something?!

    Zappi and Porsche timers

    I tried to search for my previous posts on this topic, but I’ve drawn a blank… I have a 22kw tethered Zappi charger (we have 3-phase electricity), but most of the time I just plug in on 1 phase at a rate of around 4.7kw, depending on what power the house is using. When the weather is better...

    Pothole 1, Taycan 0..

    On the way home from work today I ran into/over a pothole - the (nearside rear) tyre immediately deflated due to a huge gash in the side. I had to drive a few hundred metres to get off the main road, so I hope the alloy isn’t damaged. Porsche assist were pretty good and got a recovery truck to...

    Recall campaign APB2

    My 2023 Taycan ST GTS was taken back to the dealer today for the APB2 recall (high voltage battery leakage testing). At the same time they did WPN8 - repgramming of the PCM (optimised software). I’ll be collecting it tomorrow, so I’ll let you know if I notice anything different - anyone else...

    Taycan pre-heating

    I'm very aware about the importance of scheduling charging stops on the Porsche Nav so that the battery can be preconditioned ready to accept maximum charge when you arrive. However, I've not really bothered too much with planning to pre-heat the battery prior to my normal journey, which...

    Road trip to France (Taycan GTS Sport Turismo)

    I promised to provide a write-up of my recent trip to France, so here goes: Practicality There were 4 adults in the car, travelling for a boating holiday on the rivers & canals near Dijon, and the car impressively fitted a decent size bag each, plus various additional bags with provisions...

    Porsche vehicle tracker issues.

    I’ve had a few tracker issues recently, so wanted to see if anyone had experienced similar issues: 1) I left the house without the tracker fob and received a text message indicating a suspected theft. When I previously had Porsche VTS on a 911, I would have received a follow-up phone call...

    Homelink with a Bi-secur garage door

    I know there are lots of posts about difficulties in programming the Taycan Homelink system for certain garage doors with rolling codes? It looks as though our new gates and garage doors are a relatively new development with ‘bi-secur’ technology which (as I understand it) means that even if the...

    Porsche Connect options (2023 Taycan ST GTS)

    In the Porsche connect Store, the only option I have is for a data package for in-car wi-fi. I’d have thought I should have some other options - Innodrive for one. Any ideas? Thanks

    Zappi charger with Solar

    I left my Taycan connected to my Zappi charger for a few days, with the charger set to ECO+ mode, with the expectation that the car would only be topped up with energy when the Solar panels were generating more than the house actually needed (subject to the 1.4kw minimum). I was therefore...

    Charging stations in France

    We will soon be setting off on a trip to France via the Eurotunnel, from Calais though to St Jean de Losne (south of Dijon). According to Google maps, this takes me on the A26, A5 and A31 - I wondered if anyone had frequented this route and can recommend the best places to stop for charging...

    Annoying triple beep…

    A few times when our driving in a ‘sporty’ fashion (eg heavy braking into roundabouts, fast cornering etc) I’ve had a triple beep from the dash. I’m not talking about reckless stuff, just the sort of sporty driving that the Taycan is designed for. Which system is causing this and can I turn it...

    Missing map on driver’s screen…

    This morning on my drive to work, the centre screen on the driver‘s display was blank, when it should have been showing the map. When I tried to select the Extended map, the whole display was blank, although I could display other items in the middle tube. Once I’d got to my destination, I...

    EV tariffs with Octopus & 3-phase set-up.

    I’ve finally got my Solar Panels connected up to the house, although my Powerwall set-up won’t be completed until next week. In the current weather I am seeing a good 6Kw being generated on the app, where the basic requirements for the house are normally a fraction of that, so the app suggests...

    Connecting to the car...

    I've noticed that the information on the MyPorsche app and via MyPorsche ID online, are often inconsistent with each other. Also, they are sometimes at odds with the actual condition of the car i.e. charging status. How frequently does the app / online system connect to the car to verify the...

    Hazard warning lights…

    Yesterday, it dawned on me that I couldn’t easily find the hazard warning light button - I wanted to thank someone in a lorry for letting me pull out in front of them, and wasn’t sure if they’d see my hand raised, given the small rear window and their relatively high seating position compared to...
