This guy is amazing. Self-taught, runs his own shop, and services EVs of various manufacture, but not Taycan. He has several videos, including a q&a responding to common questions. One interesting recommendation from that q&a video: for EV owners with about 50-60 thousand miles on their...

Until the cables get longer, it’s a hassle, but it works. I received my NACS adapter with the nice Porsche case from Suncoast a few days ago. I picked a Tesla charging location from the Tesla app. On arrival, one space was empty, and I was able, after raising the chassis to clear a small curb...

This may have been posted elsewhere: https://ti-list.azurewebsites.net/ You can use this to get some info on a Recall procedure, e.g., “ARB0”, the brake hose recall. It’s also handy when you get back your invoice from the dealer to see what was done. Note also that these TSB documents tell...

I was just informed about the brake line recall by letter from PCNA. I was also informed in the same letter that they don’t yet have the parts for a fix. Cynics might say that informing us creates a defense for P when somebody gets hurt. On the other hand, what else could they do? And on still...

I recently had a “bricking” incident. The car refused to open because the 12 volt was dead. There’s more to the story, because I was telling the Porsche Roadside Assist guy about not engaging the car in Drive when the car turned on and parked about 2 feet facing a wall. He was a nice guy, but it...

I’ve had my MY 21, bought new, for about 3 years, and it’s time to think about warranty coverage for repairs. I’ve read threads here about the Porsche Protection Plan. It seems you can purchase the protection from any dealer, and prices seem to be individually negotiated with the dealership. So...

I am really beginning to worry. I pulled into an EA charging area - not located in a sketchy location - with the new, single cable, thin chargers. I am still (just) within the 3 year free charging window, and plug-and-charge has been working at other locations. It’s 90° in the shade. I plug in...

I was surprised, and then pleased, to discover that the Taycan has an undercarriage proximity warning. I was attempting to park in a commercial garage with a steep entrance off the street. I got a loud beep (as you do when you are parking and get close to something), a bright red horizontal line...

I have had this happen several times. And when it does I get some kind of error message from the charger tower, saying the charge has failed. I f I am finally able to get a click, charging proceeds normally. Have others had this experience? I am thinking it may have something to do with the...

When was the last time you pulled up to a gas pump and it didn’t work? If you’re at an EV charging station with about 15% in the “ tank“ it’s a disaster, because, do you have enough charge to get to the next location, and will it be out of order as well? I think something like this is the...

Apps that help you find cheap gas have been around for a while. Does anyone know of a similar app for charging? I notice EvGo has just given its rates a substantial boost, including time of day charging. I’m not objecting to that concept, but perhaps there is a better deal at a different...

Out for an enjoyable day trip to a Chesapeake Bay favorite spot for lunch. Then the EVgo charging experience on the way — at 2 different locations! 0 for 5. @10% SOC when I finally reached a working EA. In one EVgo case, I plugged in after another car just had finished on the same charger, and...

You’ll notice I am being told I am exceeding a 55 mph speed limit while stopped. Worse, the speed limit icon freezes at 55 mph, even in school zones! I tried setting Innodrive to track changing speed limits, and that doesn’t work either. We just cruise along at any speed limit I set in cruise...

Hi folks! We’ll, what a surprise and a personal best! Today I downloaded the new “myporsche” 2.0 app. I logged in, and it does seem to work. Minding my own business, I later checked my email and found a Porsche Smart Mobility, Inc., email, informing me that PSMI had just charged me the...

I got a letter from Porsche about a week ago. According to the NHTSA the recall was issued on October 31, so a six week delay. My dealer was able to arrange for the required software fix in about 2 weeks. I was told it will take more than one day to service. I don’t remember seeing this recall...

There is an interesting and active thread on a mystery drop in range just recently. Further investigation led to the discovery that the culprit may be newly installed sticky tires (presumably for better spirited driving). This led to a discussion of tire inflation, among other matters. Given...

I have been unable to find where in the PCM menu maze one turns off the Valet monitoring function. Can anyone provide some help? I am concerned about 12 volt battery drain while parked. (The car usually sits idle for several days, and I have had low battery warnings.) I also get the occasional...

After 9 tries over about 2 months, I got the P. Connect app to log me into an EA “pump” and start charging! It happened, because somebody at the dealership (a Te**la former sales rep) showed me how to work the app, just last week when I brought the subject up. As a bonus, after the charge, I...

Anyone? I’m using the latest (Sept 20, 2021) iPhone version of A Better Route Planner, CarPlay and PCM. Is there a way to have ABRP reflect the current state of battery charge — other than manual entry using Settings in the ABRP iPhone app (that is, outside use within CarPlay)?
