Our 2020 Taycan Turbo S is on its second year of paid Porsche Connect at $319 US per year and that does not get you any charging discounts but it does tick every Connect box. If you want a 20% discount at Electrify America, there is a separate $100 US per year charged monthly. if you want the...

August 2023 was the end of three years and Porsche extended it to August 2024. We have paid $319 a year since 2023 for Connect services, so Porsche clearly knows we are past original free periods. However, extending free charging may be the solution to the certificate problem. When our battery...

Our 2020 Taycan Turbo S passed the free charging period in August (extended by Porsche NA to four years). Our car has the 22 kW AC Charger upgrade ($5,000 and two days to install, includes Plug & Charge upgrade) and Plug & Charge has worked flawlessly at Electrify America until our Connect...

Not sure - Shark Skin is more slippery than smooth! ?

I am comfortable with our Porsche Vehicle Service Plan - Dealerships are also third-party providers! Of course, it is better if you love your dealership.

We have driven from city center to city center all over Germany with Rick Steve's tourist maps and GPS navigation set to avoid motorways. Have seen many beautiful areas and towns but often ended in city-center pedestrian zones (a new Porsche with tourist plates seems to be forgiven). In two...

We solve this problem (car connecting to two different RFID tags) by using a soft RFID pouch shield for my wife's key.

Had no trouble getting quotes from our Porsche dealer. I created this table with their quote data: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/purchase-porsche-or-third-party-extended-warranty.20798/post-319226

Our 2020 Taycan Turbo S has always felt the way you just described, and I have been concerned the brake recall would destroy the Porsche sport-car feel. It is good to know it should not. Our brakes have been serviced twice (every 2 years) and worked beautifully before and after service (4+ years...

Likely to be condensation (mixed with road dust) from running the air conditioner. Not likely a problem.

Have used Auto Regen for years and love it. It is especially useful going down a mountain - it will track the vehicle in front of you without ever touching the brakes. Great fun in Porsche club outings. Never had scary moments, unlike Adaptive Cruise Control when the vehicle in front of you...

150 kW DC charging is specified for Gen 2 and it may use the split-battery system used in the Macan Electric. The two 400V side-by-side resulting batteries can be charged on any 400V DC charger without a 150 kW DC 400V-to-800V charger option.

Our Turbo S has PDCC and Range mode disables it. On a curvy road, Range mode makes the car wallow so badly that everyone feels ill - used it once but never again and I agree, it makes little difference in range.

Damn impressive!

it is.

You can buy an extended warranty in the US - not sure in other countries. It is handled by a third party but purchased from Porsche sales. From my previous post: Our 2020 Taycan Turbo S warranty expires in less than two weeks. We Added a 96-month, 60,000-mile, $100 deductible plan from our...

If you have a perfectly functional Taycan, love it, have it detailed inside and out by experts every six months, and drive it like a new car until a major technological change replaced it (Active Ride comes close).

It will trigger the brake lights if you are following someone braking. Auto Regeneration will follow a car down a mountain without you ever touching the brake (but it may be too close for your comfort). Have done it for fun in a Porsche club outing.

Try this: Unplug the car from the charger Set the car to DIRECT CHARGE Turn off the wall charger Turn off the circuit breaker to the wall charger Wait two minutes Turn on the wall charger circuit breaker If it does not come on automatically, turn on the wall charger Wait for the wall charger to...
