The head of my dealership told me recently that the standard Porsche corporate practice is to raise new car prices about 3% each year. I had enquired about pricing after the Supreme Court decision striking down T’s original raft of tariffs. The dealer informed me that when T imposed the tariffs...

Not sure if this is exactly on thread, but for the record, I am soon approaching five years of ownership of my from new MY21 4S. Beyond the recalls, which my dealership promptly addressed for me, my only problem during that time was a single instance of a dead 12 volt. That WAS a problem, as I...

Take your car to OGS & Mechanics in London (see YT) and get it fixed for £2,000! (Maybe, worth a trip, though).

I think we may be living in a kind of maintenance bubble here in the US. Take a look at “OGS & Mechanics” on YT. He’s in London, and it appears business is booming. The latest 2 of his many videos feature analysis and repair of a Taycan. It is not a battery replacement, but you can see that type...

I have the NV option, and it’s terrific. It is especially valuable in urban environments for people wearing dark clothing who like to dash across the street. The yellow highlight really catches your attention.

This is a very serious topic, but it probably better belongs in forums devoted to such issues. Your physical movement, where you go and with whom you associate physically, without the need of text messages, are obviously very valuable pieces of information to those of nefarious intent, not that...

You are correct. I have MY21. I haven’t had the same experience since that time. If fixed, Porsche could do us the courtesy of telling us they fixed it and telling us the new rules. There are some older comments on the forum saying the HV will do a fill-up 6 or 8 times And then stop. I still...

Topping—not so. My 12 V died on me when the car was parked for about 3 weeks in a heated garage. The car was about 8 months new at the time. My HV SOC was at about 53%. With a low garage ceiling, use of a flatbed was not an option. I called Porsche service for assistance. A guy in a truck...

Thanks so much for these references. I was using the door sticker information, figuring it was specific to my vehicle‘s weight and configuration.

Try beginning about the 8 minute mark. In my next dealer visit I plan to ask whether these gear box issues are part of a regular maintenance schedule. If not, I will set one up. Meantime, I think it would be very helpful to this forum if people could mention local independent shops that do...

This guy is amazing. Self-taught, runs his own shop, and services EVs of various manufacture, but not Taycan. He has several videos, including a q&a responding to common questions. One interesting recommendation from that q&a video: for EV owners with about 50-60 thousand miles on their...

Yes, push the illuminated button and wait for it to go out. At that point, you are supposed to be able to release the adapter. In my case, even with the button not illuminated, I was unable to release it. However, this procedure raises the question: do you tap ”Stop charging“ on the app *first*...

Until the cables get longer, it’s a hassle, but it works. I received my NACS adapter with the nice Porsche case from Suncoast a few days ago. I picked a Tesla charging location from the Tesla app. On arrival, one space was empty, and I was able, after raising the chassis to clear a small curb...

This comment raises an interesting point. There ought to be some items, once you are past the warranty expiration date, that could be relaced by outside shops, the same way they do the 911. Wheel bearings might be an example, or other non-electrical related parts. There was also talk on here...

I had the same thing in my 21 MY 4S. The indicated posted limit would freeze after several minutes of driving. My dealer me that I had a defective CPU and replaced it.

I called my dealer today on the availability of WRS0 software. Not available. So I guess US waits to see what happens in Europe. If any US members got the fix I’d be interested to know.

There’s a recent post on that point. You use a piece of wood to push down the locking mechanism on the hood, fooling the car into thinking the trunk is closed. Then gently lower the hood. This allow you to get to the battery without having to go the procedure of manually unlocking the driver’s...

That’s what I do if it’s been sitting more than about two weeks. It seems to work. Strictly, though, I would follow the TSB advice that Tooney referenced. If the 12 volt does die, learn how to use your emergency key to physically get into the car, using a portable electric source to pop open the...

If you will check the owner’s manual, I believe you are advised to have the HV SOC at about 50%, *not* 85% for long term storage. I understand the lower state of charge allows for rebalancing of cells. As to the 12 volt battery, I have had mine completely discharged in about 3 weeks. The HV...
