My 2020 Taycan 4S with P+ battery has found a new home and I moved to a 2021 Ford Mach-e GT. Here are my thoughts and comparison of these two cars The comparison is based on my experience with my cars, and it does not apply to all Taycans and all Mach-es, or all owners. Taycan wins these...

I was at a BMW driving event and they had real iX and i4 on display. My impressions: iX exterior looks weird and worst than the photos. It has a lot of champaign color accents which I did not like iX interior is top notch, very luxurious, but I did not like the color on display. iX size is big...

Regional warning for people in the Bay Area who plan to use the Belmont EA location. Two out of 3 stations are completely down. The third was broken two weeks ago, not it works but it is the one with the Chademo port and shares the spot with the L2 charger so you have to wait for that Leaf or...

Yet another bug today... The map (both regular and extended) are blank in instrument cluster. Just blank, not spinning. Also the right pane did not show any info for a while but after 5 mins it showed the battery SOC and temperature. Date and voltage of small battery is still blank. Main PCM...

Some background My Taycan's passenger door and the passenger side rear door rattle badly. I have taken the car to the dealer and they said the passenger door ratted from the light strip. They put foam tape around the strip wire harness which fixed the issue for about two weeks but the rattle...

Here is what to do: 1) Park the vehicle in a flat surface 2) Before you jack up you have to disable suspension self adjustment (for Air Suspension). The adjustments is reenabled automatically once you start driving, so do not move the car after you disable this PCM > Settings > Vehicle settings...

Maps and radio spin for about 30 seconds after I start the car. While spinning, I can still listen to the radio but I cannot control the volume, since the PCM is very unresponsive. Maps spin at both screens. I did not have this problem until recently. Now I have it frequently. Anyone else?

When I use the lock button to close the trunk it usually stops while it is on its way down without any audible warning. It just stops and I have to use the other button to close it or just push it down with my hand. Then I can lock my car with either using the key (very annoying) or walk to the...

For everyone in California, have you received your carpool decal sticker? How ugly do they look when you attach to the bumper? I applied more than 6 weeks ago but I have not received them yet. I remember when I leased a hybrid in 2018 the stickers arrived much faster.

I don't remember anyone has reported this bug yet, so add it to the list. The last 3 times I started the car, when my phone connects to the PCM via bluetooth, the car thinks I am on a call. Of course I am not in a call and my phone is in normal non-call mode. The Radio is muted, the volume...

I remember seeing in one thread someone mentioning their car cannot connect to Connect and the Theft mode being on all the time. I just saw this TSB (dated Dec 8th). It looks like a visit to the dealer is needed if the alarm is triggered. TSB...

Dated Nov 12th https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10183485-0001.pdf From the doc: "An investigative analysis to resolve this matter is in process. " The TSB is asking the dealers to provide as many details as possible to help with the investigation. TSB applies to both 2020 and 2021...

The sticker in my 2020 Taycan 4S with P+ battery says that total weight of passengers and cargo should not exist 662lb/300kg which is very low for a four seater car of this size. That is about the weight of three adults. According to Porsche USA site the max weight is 1402 lbs so I am not sure...
