    What's the best alternative to the Taycan?

    I’ve had the Macan twice as a loaner, each time for several days, including my regular drive over the mountains. It’s a very good car: composed, confident in bends, and quick when overtaking slower traffic. The slightly higher seating position is also an advantage on longer drives, especially on...

    What's the best alternative to the Taycan?

    Not responding directly to the OP—just building on what others have shared. Yesterday evening I drove up to my mountain cabin in the Taycan. Even after five years, I still genuinely enjoy driving it. I’ve attached a short clip done by my wife showing the current conditions here. With Nokia...

    What's the best alternative to the Taycan?

    I've been considering the new Cayenne EV for a while as I do a lot of mountain driving. Was invited by the local dealer to a launch show in the capital over here. Nice enough SUV, and I know the Cayenne handles remarkably well also on a track. Still no demonstration cars to try at the dealer...

    What's the best alternative to the Taycan?

    Was it the regular I5 or the M60? (At least when I used to drive M-trim cars they were a bit more refined than the base models.)

    What's the best alternative to the Taycan?

    I have been looking at both the BMW i4 M50 as well as the i5 M60 (and also - *ghasp* - diesels). They are not to far off compared to the Taycan when it comes to acceleration, range and charging speed. Although without having actually driven one of them, I would expect the Taycan to have the edge...

    I joined the Red Circle of Death club

    I have the exact same car - 2020 4S+ Gentian Blue, and have kept up to date on all recalls & upgrades. Still got the red circle last november with no warning. Was able to reset the car so it was drivable again, but took it straight to the dealer naturally. Initial diagnose was 12 faulty cells...

    I built a privacy-first analytics dashboard for Taycan / Macan EV trip data

    As a part time programmer myself, I found this application very nice! Quick and easy to install & run locally. Excellent statistics and easy to use. Good job! Thanks for this!

    Steering issues - hard at low speed - imprecise turns

    So the verdict from the dealer`s garage is in. Turns out the intermediate steering shaft needs to be replaced. I had my money on 12 volt battery issues, so was happy to be proven wrong. Now just have to wait for the part to be sent up from Germany. As a side note; I had a Macan base model as...

    Steering issues - hard at low speed - imprecise turns

    Hi all. Was wondering if anyone else have experienced issues with the steering on their Taycan. Got a 4S+ 2020 model that just this week developed the following symptoms: - hard to turn fully at low speeds - but when turned far enough it will almost «jump» into a turn, like the steering wheel...

    MY2020 - LTE Failure - update

    So, tried a 5 minute disconnect of the 12v battery, but still no LTS connection. Then did a 10 minute one, and finally got the LTE activated. Unable to connect to my online profile though, so left the car for a few hours before trying again. On the susequent third try the PCM finally logged on...

    MY2020 - LTE Failure - update

    Got the same no LTE problem om MY2020. Tried searching the forum but unable to find the "12v reset" procedure. Anyone care to elaborate? Is it more refined than yanking off all the plastic and disconnecting the 12 volt battery?

    Panamera E-hybrid vs Taycan driving dynamics

    I got a Panamera 2018 4 E-Hybrid as a loaner for 2 days when my Taycan 4S+ had the last “big” upgrade. I’ve driven similar Panameras on a racetrack before, and now had the time to experience it on normal roads in everyday conditions. I did take “the long way home” both days just to get a proper...

    Things lost after update

    Anyone know why Porsche removed the «All Wheel» axle information from the leftmost display? I briefly tried searching for it to no avail.

    [SOLVED 09.07.2022, Europe] Porsche Connect Network Problems [3rd UPDATE!]

    Still not fixed here in Norway, at least not for me (MY2020). No connection since 03/07. I'm still on the old Porsche Connect app as I cannot be bothered with trying the lowly rated My Porsche app. Problem must be on the server side anyways.

    Intermittent ticking/pulsating sound after tyre change

    Hi all. Recently changed to summer wheels & tires. After a few days of driving the left front wheel suddenly started making a low ticking sound corresponding with speed & wheel revs. The higher the speed the higher the ticking frequency. Funny thing is - sometimes it goes away for a while and...

    PCM connection to Porsche Server

    Just thought I‘d update this thread with my status. Had no connection with the Porsche servers since November 11th. Tried all the log out/in, privacy on/off, reboot etc. This Monday I emailed my local dealer and asked them if they had any suggestions. Got a call 5 minutes later - appreciate...

    PCM connection to Porsche Server

    No, you’re good. Those two latter connections never work anyway. You’d probably have to connect the car to the same Wi-Fi that you’re phone is on for that to work. No need for that.

    PCM connection to Porsche Server

    Still no contact with my car. Tried the two finger PCM reboot. Still nothing. Last profile sync November 11th. Oh well..

    PCM connection to Porsche Server

    This seems like a convoluted problem…. I tried the “new” My Porsche app on my iPhone, and under “Details>Functions>PCM” I got a warning that functions was disabled since I already had the old iPhone app installed. So uninstalled that, and retried - with no greater success. Then I remembered...

    PCM connection to Porsche Server

    Just tried this, - but unfortunately, as you would say - rien, nothing - didn’t change a thing :)
