I dropped off my car for the passenger seat bottom recall and they told me there were a couple of software updates they would also apply. One of them was to reprogram the 12v battery. Has anyone else had this done yet?

My car is currently at the dealership for an electric system error (link to that thread). I have ~37K miles on the odometer so I asked about 40K maintenance while it was there. I was quoted $3600 which included brake replacement (they didn't inspect the brakes) that they claimed was what Porsche...

The yellow circle "Electrical System Error" showed up for me last week. Along with that error, I started to get charging errors at exactly 80% charge. To me, that 80% charge limit indicates that the ARB6 software update has identified an issue with my battery. I have an appointment scheduled...

I just bought a NACS adapter from Porsche South Austin. They have 5 more available right now. They said they tried to order 25 but only were able to get 12 from Porsche so far. The price is $185 + tax which ends up at $200.26 total.

I need to ship a car from TX to FL. I have no experience with this at all. How can I find a reputable company for this? Does anyone have recommendations of companies performing this service in TX?

Incredible if it’s true. https://www.livescience.com/technology/electric-vehicles/ev-battery-that-recharges-in-just-18-seconds-green-lit-for-mass-production “The battery has a C rating of 200, meaning it's capable of fully charging or discharging in about 18 seconds. In comparison, the fully...

The dealership group here in Austin had a customer appreciation event yesterday at COTA. We got to spend 30 minutes on the track in the morning with our own cars (I did not since I had a plug in a tire). In the afternoon we got to drive one car (luck of the draw essentially) that the dealership...

I've given Porsche Austin a hard time in the past for some things I thought were questionable but I also like to give credit where credit is due. My wife brought our 2022 Taycan CT4 in for multiple recalls and to check out our door seals that are all turning green. Here's the list of "recalls"...

The latest Porsche Panel Survey closes today. It's all about the technology, connectivity, and charging experience with the car. Now is the opportunity to provide the feedback we all wish Porsche would hear. The survey asks you to record videos so you can just say what you want and not have to...

My Taycan is due for its 20K mile service so I contacted Porsche Austin to see how much. They quoted me $1399.95 and provided the following explanation when I questioned the high cost given how limited the service really is... "The service includes a brake fluid flush, cabin air filter and new...

I was on a trip this weekend and needed to charge near my hotel (Tesla Destination chargers did not work with my TeslaTap, I assume they were locked to Tesla only). The closest DCFCs were some Autel 480V chargers outside of a Volvo dealership near DFW airport. I drove to these chargers on...

Here’s a photo from about 1:45 PM today. It was cloudy but this is what a total solar eclipse looks like. Nighttime during the day.

A basic poll to determine how much of a factor the environment was when purchasing a Taycan...

I wanted to try the Chargy app that one of our forum members @DerekS created. It’s an interesting app and I like a lot of the features it has for logging information about road trips. I really like how it scans EVSE screens when you’re done charging and automatically pulls the details into the...

? ??? ? I was near downtown Austin yesterday and needed to parallel park. I figured it would be a good chance to use park assist. I activated the system, followed the prompts, and the car took over. As it was backing into the spot, I was getting a bit nervous about how quickly it was still...

With so many threads lately about depreciation and technical issues, I felt compelled to share the good side of Taycan ownership. This weekend was beautiful in Austin. The sun was shining with temps between a low of ~60ºF and high of ~80ºF. Saturday morning: After the last few months of...

Curiosity has gotten the better of me and I'd love to know what all of these markings mean on the EVSE cable that runs between the relay and the J1772 connector. Here is what is written on the cable... (UL) E345899 EVJE 4/C 12AWG(3.31mm²) 1/C 10AWG(5.26mm²) 1/C 18AWG(0.824mm²) 105ºC WATER...

I didn't see a thread for this yet but I'm sure someone will point it out if it exists. Since Porsche is offering up to $600 reimbursement for EVSEs while we wait for the Porsche provided ones to be fixed, what have you chosen to purchase as a result of this recall campaign and why? I went...

For the 2nd day in a row my PCM made the "ding" sound and a new OTA update was ready for me to install. This time it was "Music streaming to version 7.0.28". Once again, I don't have the foggiest idea what this update really does. Would it kill Porsche to publish a list somewhere? Hopefully...

Quick update on my PCM today. No idea what it really does (as usual)...
