    Sold: Porsche branded windshield shade for Taycan (UVS100)

    All, I have a local buyer that responded quickly, so I will take this down, but I wanted to let you all know to close the loop. Thanks all for the interest. I also have a very nice car cover if you're looking to protect your Taycan. See my other listing. If the deal falls apart I will repost.

    Sold: Porsche branded windshield shade for Taycan (UVS100)

    Thanks for the interest. I'll keep it in mind, but I suspect that shipping will make the purchase a lot more expensive. In any case, I'll let you know if there are no takers.

    Sold: Porsche branded windshield shade for Taycan (UVS100)

    Since I sold my Taycan I will not be needing this windshield shade. It's the official Porsche one (bought at the Porsche dealership) with the crest and wordmark on the shield and the wordmark on the black slip cover. The color is silvery on the sun facing side and a darker gray felt on the...

    FS: Taycan indoor/outdoor car cover (covercraft)

    I have sold my Taycan GTS, sorry to see it go but it was a frustrating ownership too. I kept my Taycan in a garage under a custom, 2 tone (black sides and gray center) Covercraft HP Weathershield cover with an embroidered Taycan GTS on the front. It was originally over $550, the current online...

    Level 2 charging rate with a 50 amp capacity

    Well, I think this OBC "update" is the end for me. Between the endless string of recalls, week at a time repairs at the dealer, door rattles that are taking months to resolve and a downgrade to the charger that limits my home charging to about 1/2 of what it was previously, I've had enough. I...

    Level 2 charging rate with a 50 amp capacity

    @RED! Just as a follow up, my dealer has tried to fix a rattle in the front passenger door 2 times over the past 24 months (it's really bad in the cold/winter, so I had to wait until it got cold since the dealer says Porsche will only accept a rattle claim on a smooth surface) and they finally...

    Level 2 charging rate with a 50 amp capacity

    Wow, perfect timing for me :( My OBC just failed in my '22 GTS. It has (had?) the 19.2kW uprated OBC. I was told that the only option is to downgrade to the 11kW OBC, but reading through this thread, it sounds like it's only functioning at 9.6kW. that's going to be a big step down! I have the...

    detected speed limit very wrong

    I was hoping the "stuck on an old speed" issue was just me and a one time issue. This isn't encouraging. Maybe time to let NHTSA (or whoever tracks these things) know (if there's anyone left there)?

    detected speed limit very wrong

    I think some modern cars are starting to use computer vision systems to read road signs (my wife's 2020 BMW X7 appears to do this), backed up by map data from the nav (think Waze, Google maps etc). It makes sense to have that information available to driver since there are a lot of roads in the...

    detected speed limit very wrong

    Let me be clear, I don't usually use ACC/Innodrive with the limit on most ground streets, but the road that goes to this neighborhood (where I took the picture) is a country road that's a 35mph limit and about 6 miles long and relatively straight, so I do tend to use the system through here from...

    detected speed limit very wrong

    Anyone see this problem before and what would it mean if you had active cruise control set to follow the limit? BTW, the speed limit in this neighborhood is 15 mph, and the area before it was 35. The Porsche continued to show 65mph as the limit past multiple signs posting speeds of 35, 40 and...

    Android auto (wireless) drops

    So I think I know what's happening, but have no way to change it. Be aware,is is speculation as I haven't done any testing, just observation. I believe that there's a 2.4Ghz directional radio beaming across the highway where I get my disconnects. This happened when I asked the original Q using...

    Burmester sound system option

    lol, I get it, but even at the higher settings of Auro 3D it's still a shadow of what I got used to in the MB. Like I said, it's good, just not as good as the MB implementation. BTW, on the MB, I didn't have to turn up the 3D effect nearly as much - different tuning, I understand. But even on...

    Burmester sound system option

    Just to add to the overall conversation about the Burmester option in the Taycan. I have to say that I'm overall a bit disappointed with it. Bear in mind that I'm comparing the Taycan Burmester implementation to the one I had in my Mercedes: Burmester 3D (in a 2015 S550). In the MB, the sound...

    Burmester sound system option

    I have the same problem although I also get rattling on rough roads, but only when it's cold outside. Please take pics and share you experience with removing the carbon trim since I've been working with my dealer and have had the car in twice to try and fix but it's still happening on cold...

    Gen 1 battery replaced with Gen 2 battery

    I noticed that rolling resistance and aero was almost as much of a factor (11%) as the battery (14%), so are there different tires on the J1.2? If so, that could also be something that the J1.1 owners could take advantage of. That and the more aero wheels with a bigger battery and the J1.1...

    Car Cover Recommendation

    I've used both Covercraft and California Car Covers for multiple cars over the past 20 years. I've found that California Car Covers seems to have a slightly better pattern (fit) for some of their cars, like our W222 S550, the Covercraft version seemed a little short, the mirror pockets were...

    Recall: High-Voltage Batteries May Short Circuit - ARB6 & ARB7 - Diagnostic Software - October 1, 2024

    I just re-read the notice and you might be correct, sorry for the alarmist message. I now read it as after the SW is installed, you can use the full pack capacity and only if they detect a fault would you need to limit the charging to 80% until they replace the battery (not the module - which is...

    Recall: High-Voltage Batteries May Short Circuit - ARB6 & ARB7 - Diagnostic Software - October 1, 2024

    it's probably stating the obvious, but the SW only addresses the notices (these 2 ARBs), not the underlying concern of the battery cells getting unbalanced and having a thermal event. So Porsche will close these "recalls" for each of us once the monitoring SW is installed on our Taycan. So we'll...
