  1. TSB: Door Window Moves Up/Down Very Slowly or Reverses - May 15, 2026

    I didn’t even tell my dealer. But when it went in for regular service they called me -driver side mechanism broken and needed to be replaced. It was still working, only thing I noticed were the slow speeds, and it “reversed” on me in 1 instance months earlier. Couldn’t close the window until I...
  2. are NF tyres really required to protect warranty?

    Only viable answer that will hold any water is: What do the terms of your warranty say?
  3. Drive mode at high speed

    Sport plus is for high speed tight cornering. IMHO it’s way too “nervous” on the autobahn. You will feel a lot of the imperfections on the road. I would use normal or sport. Only difference at autobahn level speeds is if the chassis is in sport or normal. Especially with rws and pdcc it’s tight...
  4. "Porsche Charges $134K For The Taycan, SAIC Charges $32K For Z7" - article

    McDonald‘s charges 8.50$ for a Big Mac, a hamburger in Malaysia is 2$. Until SAIC actually releases the car for you to buy in the USA for 32k, it’s apples and oranges. I guess we should be flattered that the Chinese admire the Taycan design so much, but it’s still mostly renders and the car...
  5. 2nd….. or 3rd cars?

    I second the Aston thing. If you want old: DBS is awesome, not as loud, more refined, V12, probably won’t depreciate as much, maintenance is a pain though. But that design… Amazing. Almost all db9’s look good too. Didn’t drive that one yet though. Scratching that: how about McLaren?
  6. How to use charging timers

    Good note about the preconditioning using range, the range difference can actually easily be in the double digits. If you are unsure wether you are really charging I would personally not precondition it :) Also because if I’m only charging 10kWh it doesn’t really matter if it takes 2 or 3 minutes.
  7. How to use charging timers

    When I precondition it on long road trips, it often goes 40+ degrees. What makes you think it was not preconditioned? If the temp was 12* I would agree. 43 sounds a little high but not unexpected.
  8. How to use charging timers

    I am in the same country as OP (never mind the flag;) ) and use homey now with great results. Profile is set to 35%. So I know I can always drive 120-150km. When there is a solar surplus (or in your case, dynamic prices are low), homey sets the Taycan charging to direct mode. That means it...
  9. Porsche auto insurance through Porsche

    Like the guy above already said: in The Netherlands they are not competitive on price. 50% premium seems to be the norm. However they do include the insurance you normally have to buy extra on Porsche Track days etc. If you do 2+ of those a year it’s worth looking into. That is, as far as I...
  10. Found a good use for the center console phone charger 😜

    Hehe funny, it’s a beautiful car for sure but what are you doing in your car that you need wipes for:oops: I have the emergency hammer stuffed in that slot so it doesn’t move around and I know where to find it.
  11. Homey - Porsche Connect Plugin - feedback appreciated

    Awesome, installed. Will play with it today, expect feedback soon:cool: Dankjewel!
  12. Charge times

    Very strange. When preheated, if I plug it in with 10-30% battery it starts charging immediately at 250kW+. It starts dropping off around 70% but never have I seen charging speeds below 150kW with less then 80% battery. MY22 CT 4S
  13. Staying Sharp on the Road – Let’s Talk About Distracted and Fatigued Driving

    I absolutely and unequivocally despise every so‑called fatigue management system I’ve come across. I’m profoundly relieved that Porsche had the good sense to leave such gadgets out of the Taycan. I fly long distance red eyes every week, and then drive 1-2 hours back home - the real key to...
  14. Taycan in the Netherlands: where do you have your insurance?

    More curious as to what you all are paying! The Porsche insurance was way more expensive for me. Born 1992, 9 years “claim free”, 30-40k km a year paying 210€/month all risk at ABN, thinking of switching to Avero or Bovemij because of the ability to pick your repair shop (Porsche dealer…). Both...
  15. Taycan in the Netherlands: where do you have your insurance?

    ABN, be careful with “comparison” sites, most don’t show all available companies. Looking into changing ABN to something that will allow me to repair at Porsche. Consumentenbond or pricewise are your friend ;). The Porsche class 5 alarm (with certificate) was good enough for ABN
  16. Max G force from a roll

    What wall did you hit to get 1.71G deceleration?
  17. How do you have your dash/HUD configured?

    Interesting stuff. I am curious though as to why people monitor the 12V status? Could someone please elaborate?
  18. How do you have your dash/HUD configured?

    Left: ACC, shows me all kinds of info posted above but I would like to add that with the ACC on the left “tube” you only have to press the distance control once and it will immediately register. If you dont show it, you will have to press it twice - once for the acc distance screen to “pop up”...
  19. “Pre-Climate Complete”

    It probably happens because you have it set to preheat the car with the keyfob! If you open it (but dont drive it) it will preheat for I believe it was 5 minutes. You can change the setting for this in the climate page under precool/h. I would personally leave it on ;). Congrats on the amazing car!
  20. Night Vision Assist doing its thing

    Thanks for sharing, had a similar experience only with people shovelling snow in the dark on a country road right after a bend… Does yours ever have “false positives”? IE braking or flashing matrix when there is no danger?
