We took our Turbo Sport Turismo for 2,500 miles of wonderful Spring driving through France, northern Spain, Portugal (as far as Porto, then the Duero Valley), and through the Picos de Europa, a mountain range in Northern Spain. We started with the afternoon ferry Portsmouth-Caen (and...

Has anyone had trouble using their Porsche card to start charges today? Minebhas Failed to authorise on three different chargers in Portugal. I’ve been able to start the charge from the app on two of them but the card should work. One of the charging providers said there was a problem with...

First time ever (apart from minor updates to maps), my J1.2 Taycan received an over-the-air update: "This update improves stability during DC rapid-charging processes through optimised charging current monitoring". During the update it says "WSQ7" update to "high-voltage converter" software. I...

Just back from a winter trip from the UK to the Black Forest (southern Germany). What a stunning place in winter; even more so in a Taycan Turbo Sport Turismo. The journey was brilliant -- the car took every corner, fast straight, and steep hill with absolute ease. This really is an amazing...

Oops, exceeded the specified max speed today. Got a nice long straight piece of autobahn in good visibility, low traffic, good weather. So pushed a bit. My J1.2 Turbo Sport Turismo just got faster and faster, with no sense that it was running out of power or control. I stopped at 265 km/h...

Could someone with expertise perhaps write a guide (preferably with pictures or video) to how to perform the "drains checks" that Porsche Centres do? It's hard to believe it requires specialist skill or tools. This would be very helpful for our community. As we have discussed in other...

At a regular service they have reported that there are two holes in my Sort Turismo's undertray. I had the same in my previous Taycan and off the record the OPC said that every car ends up with these, and unless there is more serious damage it's not worth bothering to get it replaced (which...

This is UK experience but may apply in other countries too. The root causes seem to be - a car that isn't optimised for maintenance - an old-fashioned service model with poor time management; together with a poor design this means almost any job takes >1 day - and above all a lack of loan car...

On a J1.2 Taycan (different comms architecture from the J.1) I am finding that destinations created on the MyPorsche app do not reach the car even under simplified and controlled conditions eg: - the destination is a straightforward local address selected in the app (not shared from another...

Heard a rumour today that (at least in the UK) there is a new rule that Porsche Centres are now required to install chargers outside their gates where they can be accessed after hours. Some won't have enough power into the site to run additional chargers -- for example mine is only allowing the...

I've got someone lined up to fix some scuffs on the wheels of my J1.2 Turbo Sport Turismo. I think the wheels are painted in Turbonite. Are there any issues with getting these touched up and the colour matched? Any special instructions I should give the repairer before they show up on our...

The J1.2 Taycan has a safety system that pops up a warning that the driver may have signs of fatigue and a break is recommended. On a long road trip, it seemed to get this about right. Out of curiosity, how does it make this assessment? I've found this in a Porsche press release: "This...

[edit: now determined to have been a temporary Porsche server failure.] After upgrading to IOS26 I can no longer open the MyPorsche app. It crashes immediately with ”This function is currently not available” on both iPhone and iPad. Deleting and reinstalling the app seemed to work on the...

On the latest Porsche Charging Service Plus, some 11kW chargers have a per-minute charge which applies after 720 minutes, presumably to avoid congestion. I’m at a hotel with a row of empty chargers and would like to charge overnight - it will be 15 hours until we are awake. If I terminate the...

As a break from all the boring posts about range, recalls and faults, here are some fabulous drives to take your Tacyan on — away from the normal and rather overcrowded mountain passes. Perhaps this will inspire some road trips. First, in northern Spain, NW of Tarragona, there are some roads...

Planning a road trip in France and Spain. I see that in some cities there are Porsche Centres which do not appear on the Porsche app charging map. (examples: Caen, Perpignan) Does this typically mean that some OPCs don’t have chargers? Or they are hiding them from the network because they...

I’m beginning to see why some OPCs have so many cars off the road for so long (and why there is a 2-3 month wait for a loan car). Don’t know whether this problem is specific to the UK but I suspect not. When a car comes to the OPC with a software-related issue, their experience (plus database...

*** This thread concerns a specific issue which appears to happen only on the J1.2 Taycan. Car offline for many days - display shows "4G" (it's a J1.2, the J1 used to say "LTE") so there is a network connection, but no data is passing. Google search in the satnav gives an error message that...

Has any found a good speed camera alert system for UK/Europe which sits well in the Taycan ecosystem - for those of us who want to use the Porsche PCM as satnav? I was using AmiGo (TomTom) in the background (using CarPlay) for alerts but they seem to have pushed an update which now "copies" the...

On a Sport Turismo (J1.2) when I trigger the rear windscreen wash, some water is supposed to go over the camera. Mine seems to miss it (I can see water being sprayed, but too low). Does anyone know how the mechanism works or whether there is a simple fix I can do? Is the nozzle the little dot...
