and I've just googled it for U.S.A: have a look at the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975; I believe it states pretty much the same thing as the European block exemption regulation.

I've seen this question across many posts; I don't have information about other parts of the world, but I can say with absolute certainty that in the European Union countries there is absolutely no problem with using non-NF0 rated tyres, or even servicing the car outside of the dealer network -...

I am not that knowledgeable around electricity, but I believe that the real question is how many amps a charger can support. The matter is mainly relevant for 400volt cars - some 150kw chargers for example may only be able to provide 200amps, which would make a 400volt car charge at less than...

mine had the heater problem before I bought it; luckly no 22kw charger on mine and therefore no problems there. Now whether all J1.1 taycans prove to have a defective battery only time will tell... let's just hope that Porsche doesn't leave anyone uncovered if they fact battery problems after...

you say 1 out of 5 or even 1 out of 4 taycans have or will have a battery problem - that is in deed scary, as it would mean 20,000 - 30,000 cars. The car's already been around for almost 7 years; I have signicant reservations about whether the number of affected cars is really that big (20 or...

a number of cars across different brands (Porsche, Jaguar, chevy bolt etc) was plagued by the LG torn anode tab problem; mainly manufactured between 2018 and 2021. After 2022 the problem appears to have been sorted out; a cell may fail anyway, not because of the LG manufacturing issue, but for a...

maybe things are different in the U.S. than Europe. In Europe, if you follow this link https://warranty.porsche.com/de/de-DE, it takes you to a webpage where you enter your VIN and name and you can buy up to 3 years of extended warranty, if you already have valid approved warranty; without...

Guys, there's a common misconception about what the high-voltage (HV) battery warranty actually covers. For mostEVs on the market today, the standard warranty states: "8 years/100,000 miles that the battery retains at least 70% capacity." This does not imply a full, unconditional replacement...

I have a 21' set of taycan exclusive wheels, plus a 20' set of sport aeros on my 4S. I can honestly say that the 20' wheels have almost 8-10% better range. Also a better ride and quite less prone to kerbs; plus, the tires last longer. In addition the car feels a bit faster acceleration-wise...

I have a second set of 20' for the winter, but winters aren't that harsh where I am at. And I really hope we soon get a decent tire for the OE size in 20' for all weathers, which are close to inexistent now. Only the pirelli cinturato p7 all season comes close (available for the taycan with NF0...

I got them installed as summers on my second EV (a jaguar ipace) and I am extremely happy with them; superb range, very quiet and soft. Just not extremely sporty/not for tracking. Superb for daily driving though. I am so happy that I'll probably get them as summers on my 4S (21 size rims). I...

I also have the opinion that the biggest problem with the taycan is the really, really bad PCM/infotainment. Spotify gets interrupted, glitches in the screen, rear camera is a joke etc. Even cars worth $20k new don't have such problems. Ok, I am talking from the safe side because I haven't faced...

valid point. People tend to forget that (almost all, to my knowledge) EV companies offer an 8year/100k miles warranty for the battery to maintain at least 70% SoH. This wording is not the same as "HV battery warranty no questions asked". Which brings us to the question, how all manufacturers...

fair point. Although, it is a good question what happens to 2020 owners that reach the end of the battery warranty and their battery wasn't replaced; if I had a 2020, I would be worried that the battery issue might incur right after the 8-year mark. And it is another great question whether the...

My 2021' 4S has been trouble free so far, 38,000 miles on the clock. All recalls done in time. From what I am reading, the 2020 model has had more severe battery problems; I believe that I read somewhere in this forum that the battery tech in the 2020 is slightly different than the 2021...

I have understanding that we need to pay higher prices for Porsche parts. After all, Porsche cars are not for eveyone. But still, it's one thing to pay a "porsche premium", and another thing to be ripped off. Not even the richest billionaires like to be ripped off!

I don't think it's just a "battery", i.e. a simple cell with a plastic housing. It includes its own BMS etc. therefore, I highly doubt there is a "simple" aftermarket solution like the one you have in mind. I do believe though that the following two solutions would be possible: 1. install...

I remember reading somewhere on the forum that an independent EV shop in Thailand successfully installed a lead acid 12 volt battery (which should cost around $100) in place of the lifepo battery. Same as in an ICE car. But I guess some coding would be needed through the PIWIS system (maybe?)...

Got a message on my 2021 4S today to install a new update that refers to battery monitoring. That is something new, definitely not the well known and much discussed ARB6/7 update, which was installed OTA on my car last July. I just pressed install and, quite stupidly, didn't have time to read...

personally, I would be really interested if I could somehow get a fake 911 rs gt3 sound on my 4S instead of that electric sound. Something like the "iconic sounds sport" offered by Bmw (although I think that the latter is meant only for the cabin. Not the exterior of the car). But I guess it's...
