    Trouble with wireless Apple CarPlay

    I’ll give that a try and thanks. Although I think I’ve done it all already except the leaving the car off a while. My Porsche Connect services were just reestablished a couple of days ago and didn’t make any difference. At least now I can use the app. I’m fearing the next step is going to have...

    Trouble with wireless Apple CarPlay

    Just bought a 2025 Taycan 4S CT with 300 miles. Need some help with establishing Apple CarPlay wirelessly. I’ve done this before on my 22 Taycan GTS and three previous Panameras but, can’t get it to work. Have done a Facetime in the car with the tech from the dealership and spent over a half...

    "China Isn’t Buying Porsches, But It Sure Loves Making Ones That Look Like Them" - article [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    We spent two weeks recently in Chengdu China and Lhasa Tibet. It truly appeared every other car was electric and almost all of the motorcycles/mopeds were also. You can tell immediately because the license plates are different colors. The air was unbelievably cleaner than previous visits. Very...

    At Home Depot... w/ Cross Turismo

    Speaking of GREEN! This 22 acid green sports turismo has been a great vehicle with the exception of the range up here in Minnesota. Will be off lease at the end of this month at Porsche of St Paul, MN if anyone is interested. Currently, looking for a 25 cross or sports turismo as a replacement.

    Snow inside rims makes suspension behave oddly

    Yes, have it happen frequently in Minnesota. If bad enough, will stop and use my long ice scraper turned around so the handle can get into smaller spaces and remove as much as possible. Also, frequent car washes to soften the snow up a bit. You can see the view down my driveway at one point this...

    Stepping off the EV busride

    Am right with you. Had a horrible experience traveling to and from Minneapolis airport in minus 20 F weather with an estimated range of 150 at 100% for a 110 mile round trip. Found myself at 1am charging for the second time heading home after the range bottomed out and couldn’t get home...

    Taycan repair - small crack in my rear bumper

    Agree completely with the local Body Shop. Most places can do “plastic“ repair. I just had my 2012 911 GTS front bumper repaired when somebody with a trail hitch backed in and put a hole about 2 inches around. Totally cannot tell anything is wrong anymore.

    Lemon Law

    Check with your state attorney general’s office as to requirements for proceeding with a lemon law claim. Here in Minnesota the basics are the vehicle needs to have been in for a warranty covered repair three times without resolution. Or, in for service for the same issue more for thirty days...

    High Voltage Battery Recall EXPANDED - ARB6 & ARB7

    I just received my vehicle back yesterday and it had as part of multiple recalls, the charging cable update as well as the Porsche mobile charger software update. Also, the ARB seven update was performed with no issues detected. With the car returned, my maximum range has been 165 miles with...

    Fine scratches on window glass.

    Lots of good answers on how to repair the problem, my question is what caused it? Is there something between the window pane and the rubber edging or deeper inside ? It almost looks like there is debris abrading the window. Would hate to see you refurbish the glass and then it happens over...

    Best Magnetic License Plate Holder

    Is there actually anything metal on the front of a Taycan to adhere a magnetic license plate holder onto? When I tapped on the front of my GTS, sounded and felt like nonmetallic material.

    It’s cold here in Minnesota

    Minus 27 this AM. Then I realized being retired, didn’t need to even go into the garage to check the available mileage. Although, it is supposed to be above zero today!

    It’s cold here in Minnesota

    I took those photos after having driven about four or 5 miles at lower speeds on my way into town. I was basically waiting for the temperature outside to become accurate compared to my garage. Is what you’re asking that if I had driven a longer distance over more time the battery temperature...

    It’s cold here in Minnesota

    19 degrees. The car had charged overnight and was left plugged in, but it was probably a few hours since had stopped charging. Unheated attached garage but, it’s usually about 10 or 15° above outside temperature.

    It’s cold here in Minnesota

    Some real world data from Minnesota. Minus 17 F this morning. GTS at 82% charge. Look at available mileage!

    New vs. Used Porsche Taycan: Is It Worth the Extra €40k?

    I thought I would just follow up with some real world cold weather data. My GTS was charged at 83% (the garage is probably 10 above zero) and read 185 miles. As soon as I was a mile from home at -9°F, read 155 miles then actually increased to about 175 in another mile or two. During the summer...

    New vs. Used Porsche Taycan: Is It Worth the Extra €40k?

    I agree with the above rational, especially if range is a major consideration. Then a new model will provide greatly enhanced range. But, personally I would not buy new now. From what I’ve read, even the refreshed models will have tremendous depreciation occur. I chose a used 2022 GTS to see if...

    Red light on charging

    I’ve also experienced a red wall charger light and clears with unplugging the wall outlet. As for the “tight” cord, I’ve placed those rubber bumper mats on the garage floor so I know where to stop. My charger is on the inside of the garage towards the driveway ( for previous Panamera 4S ehybrid...

    Rate this deal - 2021 Taycan 4s

    Both look like reasonable deals. I do have a question, is it truly gone through a lemon law process where the title is stamped with an L? That’s a big issue if so, because you could never sell the car back to a dealer you’d have to do it privately, and that never disappears from the title. I...

    HV battery replacement (in 2023) on 2020 Turbo, consider buying or pass?

    I looked at a Taycan that was in New Jersey with a similar history. But, it had a lemon law title. Great price. You need to be sure that is not the case here. Most states will issue a new title, but it will always have a lemon law stamp on it and you'll be unable to sell the vehicle unless it's...
