I did it..went over to the dark side. Even though I love electric cars (and my 2nd car is also electric): I sold my Taycan (god bless Carvana) and ordered an ICE. I had complained in this forum about difficulty getting my Taycan serviced (long delays due to lack of EV techs). I had also been...

I am a big electric car fan (owned one since 2021; now have a Taycan and a KIA EV6). BUT, I am seriously considering getting an ICE car. Why? My Taycan has been a blast – but it is a finicky lover. I can live with all the various software updates and busted heaters since, for the most part...

I just tried to charge at a Tesla SC (shows as useable in Tesla app) ..but charging failed. I noted tho that the CCS1 lock on the Vortex did not lock to the Porsche. Has anyone else had that issue? I have used it successfully on my KIA EV6 and it definitely locks - so I am guessing the...

You gotta give Ferdinand Porsche credit..he was WAY ahead of his time..(what an engineer!)(and the vehicle was QUAD motor!): Ferdinand Porsche Created A ‘Range Extender’ EV 125 Years Ago

As expected, I got my ARB7 recall letter from Porsche today (possible bad battery cell). I was surprised that they did not recommend battery charging mods to max at 80%......Anyway, 2 of my recalls will be addressed at the end of December (hopefully) ...so in the new year I MAY be down to ONE...

It appears that my 2021 Taycan (which I DO enjoy a lot!), is about to add its 3rd OPEN recall. Got an email from NHTSA today (altho it does not show on Porsche's site yet). Apparently, Porsche sending out the letters Nov 29. 80% max charging recommended. Oh well.....maybe a new battery?

I just got a (free) Warranty Extension Notice (AC system servo motors) for my 21 Taycan. Has anyone else seen this? Says it will cover it for 6 years. ..Ironically, I recently extended my warranty so I paid for 6 years coverage of (I hope) pretty much everything anyway.

Many here have been critical of EA (and I have been also). I have been using them for about 3 1/2 years and have actually found they seem to be getting better (at least in the Northeast US where I have been using them this summer). When I arrive the stations seem to work and the Plug and...

My Taycan's 4 year warranty ends fairly soon and I intend to keep the car. I've been considering my options and the dealer just quoted me $4500 for a 2 year CPO extension. Has anyone else had a recent quote on this? Anyone have suggestions for alternatives?

I know many people have had heater failures but mine has been fine for the last 3 years. Anyway, today I got a recall on the heater for my '21 Taycan: Porsche is committed to customer satisfaction and has decided to replace the High Voltage Battery Heater (HV Heater) in certain Taycan...

Just got a recall notice from Porsche that my Porsche charger's 240 V cable will be replaced (someday)..in the meantime I can buy another charger and be re-imbursed up to $600. Interestingly, even tho the recall is tied to my car's VIN, that VIN does NOT show (yet?) as a recall on NHTSA site...

This just makes sense: https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/germany-will-force-80-of-gas-stations-to-install-ev-charging-too/ar-AA1grApq?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=d078ca48ddd94b1bbb71aef38f3e8ac1&ei=33

I've been driving my Taycan for about 2 1/2 years but still need help with some stuff: 1. In Porsche navigation, is there a way to remove some favorites without removing others. It seems that you need to clear ALL favorites to get rid of some.; 2. Am I the only one having a problem specifying...

I just saw this article about Tesla owners trapped inside by power loss...

One of the Tesla Supercharger locations on Long Island (Shirley) has been converted to accommodate non-Tesla charging and I decided to give it a whirl. I was impressed by how easy it was to use. You need the Tesla application and then only need to tell it what charge stationr ID you are using...

I just took in my car for ANA6 recall update. It took about a month to get the appointment ..but they did give me a loaner. Much to my surprise my Service Advisor told me that they might keep it as much as 2 weeks!.(altho it might take less)..why? because, he said, they are doing them in...

Amen to this...

I love to stay at hotels that have chargers. In Niagara Falls, NY recently stayed at hotel with 2 Tesla chargers. I used my Tesla Tap (for the first time) and it worked just fine. Ironically, I found myself charging next to a real Tesla and they were interested in how I was able to charge. Also...

I recently went to the Porsche web site and got the message that my car was subject to the ANA6 recall and I should contact my dealer. Got a service appointment online (a mistake!) and took it in today. Sadly, the dealer said they did not yet have the ability to apply the patch. Has anyone had...
