If you are following my other tire-related posts you are probably "tired" of me by now. But I am having trouble finding tires in stock at my local shop that are a good fit for the car. So I asked ChatGPT "what's the best tire for ..." and it recommends Bridgestone Turanza EV right before the...

Just drove off with these and yes, I prioritized life of tire over performance as I am not an aggressive driver. But first, I felt like I am the bus driver b/c the car rides high even though I have chassis set to "lower." Then I get on the highway and woah! The car feels like it wants to bank...

Couldn't find opinions on the forum re this, it seems all about PS4. The CrossClimate2 has tons of 5 star reviews on Discount Tire site and, as I am not an aggressive driver and have the base model, the CC2 caught my eye. But I know Discount Tire doesnt know what car I am driving, they are just...

Just bought this online from a reputable seller on eBay but the date on the sticker makes me think it's almost expired. It is hard as a rock, and I believe it's supposed to be fluid. I don't read German but am very suspicious I got a piece of junk here.

Following my decision not to pay for the $1K 40K service. I got the cabin filter replaced on my own, now this!

My brake fluid already replaced due to the recent recall. From what I can tell the only part replaced in this proposed service is an air filter. Everything else is visual check: seat belts, wipers, horn (not making this up). They check brake pads without removing the tires. I can do most of this...

The Taycan is my 4th Porsche and I've always been impressed by their reliability. Drove my 944 over 100K miles and it still looked and functioned as if new. I hardly ever had to spend $ on my 911S in the 12 years I owned it. I know there are lemons out there, so am only interested to hear from...

Have had this car 2+ years and always had on a night charge to 85% that I set up myself (proof I am not an idiot). Now we have solar battery and want to charge during the day. I'd like to plug it in, and have it charge immediately to 85%. Have tried to set this up but it's just not working...

I'm outside the honeymoon for Porsche Connect and tried to set up a daytime profile on the car. There is a night protocol already there. I deselected the night profile and added a "Day Profile" to run from noon - 6pm (this was recommended by our solar company and we thought, okay lets see how...

?

WTF?

I try to do this but I get impatient and my results are not empirical..... It is a 101 mile drive from San Diego to LA, a drive that I make fairly often. At 100% charge, I have a thin margin of error to make it to LA, drive around the block a couple times for whatever errand, and drive home...

Got an email saying my "Porsche Connect" contract is expiring. I thought that this was the free 30-min charging sessions at EA stations but the online description is quite different. Has anybody renewed this - or not - and can advise if it's worth it? I use Apple CarPlay instead of most PCM...

We have these two EVs, my wife drives the Tesla (which to me is nothing more than an appliance). And we've both had the experience of running out of charge near our home. Both vehicles predict range, but that is not necessarily accurate and with EV's I have come to learn there is no "reserve."...

Friend of mine bought one off a lot (not a dealer). He has no idea the specs. Some specs are obvious - others are not. Is there a way to plug a VIN in somewhere to find the dealer that took possession, as they would have the specs? Other ideas? Hopefully better ideas? TIA!

Can someone please decode this for me? Can it be ignored like many of the other PCM notifications?

I'm sure there is a best practice but all I've seen is"don't wait until its near zero."

Haven't had any scary situations in 2+ years of ownership, just the occasional unexpected loss of PCM functions. That never impacted the driving experience, so I never complained. But today I was in a left turn lane that had a curbed entry (tiny curbs to guide the car into the lane), I went...

I've been wondering about this for some time, like every time I get on the freeway these past 2 years. I use the auto-regen religiously and it does 90% of the work for me during bumper-to-bumper traffic. So I wonder, does the guy behind me realize I am slowing down?

Just finished up installing and launching the Tesla Universal Charger, many thanks to @daveo4EV for guiding me through it. I had pretty much hijacked a thread regarding the EV charging fiasco so wanted to start afresh in case there are questions. Below is the box before I mounted the charger...
