I've read in other posts on this site that the Taycan requires a lithium battery compatible trickle/maintenance charger. I also understand that the HV battery doesn't charge the 12v battery unless the car is on. Perhaps this is to avoid running down the HV battery, but I don't have anything...

Has anyone had their auto lift function lower the car when returning after parking? The possibility of damage to the under tray and the lack of reliability on the auto lift is worrisome. I park in an above ground, covered (no GPS signal inside), multi-story lot at work with multiple large...

If you have him do a repair, please post the before and after. My experience was really positive and looking at his Yelp pages, it looks like my results are not unique, but it would be good for others to have unbiased/independent assessments of his work. I don't want to sound like a barker for...

Happy to report that he came back and has finished the repairs. He needed about 30 mins to do paint correction to blend in the repaired area with the original paint. I have to say, I can't tell anything ever happened. I'm really happy with the results! I took close-ups so please scrutinize to...

looks like I won't be able to report the final results until Friday. The paint guy has a shoulder injury and can't come today. More on Friday.

Due to a PTO and some scheduling changes, I didn't get the repair started until this past Friday. He needs to come back later this week to polish out some overspray on our BMW X7 (I had 2 cars worked on) and to knock down some "nibs" on the Taycan, but I have to say that so far I'm very happy...

Thanks for the referral. I'll check them out. I actually have the HOV stickers on custom cut PPF for them, but I think once you remove the PPF the stickers get stretched and show the VOID text or turn silver making them invalid so I'd have to apply to the DMV for replacements, it took them 6...

All, I'm looking for mobile paint repair recommendations in the San Jose CA area. We had a minor (3") "oops" between a swing gate and the rear bumper cover and while removing the bumper cover to do a full respray is probably the best option, that would involve a lot of headache since I have...

I'm interested too , but looking at the pictures, I think my 2022 GTS falls into the Turbo/Turbo S bucket since I have the optional exterior carbon package which gives the sport package front bumper (not sure if that's the official name). But it has the upturned wings near the center pod of...

There are no other entries, besides the Taycan. The missing vehicle brand and model happen when plugged into the Porsche, which is why I suspect something causing the communication problem. It mostly works, but sometimes doesn't. I'm suspecting the EVSE since it seems to have been plagued with...

Well, that was my point, plug and charge, or the handshake the charger and the car do (not sure which picks up the vehicle Name and what else) seems to be inconsistent. I assumed that it was the sw in the charger, but I guess it could also be the car. Sometimes it works, like in the photo, and...

Has anyone else noticed that the PMCC+ (the Porsche charger with the interactive screen) will sometimes recognize that it's connected to a Taycan, and sometimes it doesn't know what car it's connected to. I took a picture showing the screen with Taycan and the calculated range showing, but that...

you can just slip you hand under the handle and lift if the handle is down. It's has some spring tension so it has some pressure to stay retracted but it's easy to lift.

another option for squeak and door seals is this grease from Honda: Shin Etsu. I got a tube of it back in the mid 2000s, still have it. It worked wonders on my 1st Gen Insight for squeaking window seals and reduced wind noise on the door seals, making it much quieter inside that science...

Well, my wife’s X7 is in the shop for a service and the BMW dealer gave me an i4 as a loaner since they know I have the Taycan and the experince to deal with an EV. An I drive35 with almost no options, vinyl seats, keyless entry/start and not much else. A base model with a short options list...

Nope, I was wrong. It wasn’t that piece of asphalt after all. The noise came back. Luckily I was able to capture it on video on my phone and had the dealer listen to it and they could replicate it afterward. they pulled the trim at the bottom of the b pillar and found a rivet. Apparently...

I just got my cover from Covercraft and put it on to check the fit. Not the best pics, being in the garage and at night, under the car lifts, but thought you might be interested to see it. It cost me $540 USD with the custom embroidery and removal of their logo. Packs down into a pretty small...

Wow, that’s quite a situation. Hopefully once in a lifetime! However I have my other cars covered when not in use, even garaged. Too many opportunities to have some type of damage that the cover helps avoid. But if you want to go nuts, check out car capsules. Like a sealed tent that inflates...

warning, speculation (possibly wild and fanciful) follows... you have been warned :) I think the open window indicator is the default state in the app. I've seen this happen too, but after a short delay (like a minute or so), it gets the update from the car and the window state is updated to...

I don't think the cover will help too much with rotor rust. There's enough humidity in the air to cause oxidation with the iron to happen == rust! Yes, the water from the rain/snow won't be in direct contact with the rotor so rust won't form as quickly, but if it's raining, the humidity will be...
