    Recommend service at 20K miles for a 2022 4S?

    As mentioned the brake fluid change is at two year intervals as is the cabin air filter change. I did this myself and showed the receipts to my dealer. I paid them for an inspection of the car which resulted in a reset of the service indicator. It cost me $179.

    Porsche Reimbursement for a non-Porsche wall charger

    I received my $600 check today. I had to sign for it and luckily I was home. My initial submission was Feb 28, 2024 but they wanted a better receipt for the Juice Box I had purchased last year. I resubmitted the better receipt on March 20, 2024.

    Porsche Scheduled Maintenance Plan

    The best deal I have found for Taycan cabin air filters is from Pelican Parts ( less than $20 ). I haven't found an independent Porsche shop near me that has a PIWIS tester that can reset the service reminder. What I did was do the work myself and save the receipts and paid my dealer for an...

    Found 2nd time chipmunk or red squirrel droppings in battery department. Repellents?

    I had mice twice in my Taycan on the front inverter. Thankfully they didn't do any noticeable damage. What I did was glue a sticky trap to the front inverter. The ultimate solution was to sell my Spyder and put the Taycan in the garage.

    Tires and a frugal RWD owner

    My 2020 4S with all season Goodyear Touring tires I've only been getting 12K miles out of the front tires. The rears lasted 23K miles. I stayed with the same tire so had no issues just changing a pair at a time. The car was aligned after each tire replacement at an independent shop for less than...

    Would you upgrade?

    I did the 22 KW Charger Upgrade on my 2020 4S mostly to get Plug and Charge capability. As mentioned it is helpful when you encounter a more potent Level 2 destination charger. As far as costs go the 22 KW charger kit is $2K. My dealer never did this update before and charged me $5400. To make...

    Brake replacement for 2020 Taycan 4S

    The Taycan maintenance schedule wants the pads changed at six years due to possible corrosion due to lack of use. An inspection ought to work to see if the pads have corrosion. I stayed with the iron brake setup in my 4S to reduce maintenance costs.

    Loud dashboard ticking noise in colder weather

    I had an issue with my 2020 4S where we got no heat on the passenger side but had heat on the driver's side. It turned out to be a failed servo motor that moved one of the flaps in the system. They had to remove the dash to get to it. It did throw an error code that lead them to the problem. I'm...

    How frequently do you get punctures?

    I've had two flats on my 2020 4S with the standard 19 inch wheels. Since I bought an 18" used Cayenne spare tire and a jack off of Amazon I haven't had a flat thankfully. The all season tires on the front have worn out twice (12K miles each time ) and the rear tires once (23K miles ).

    Vredestein Space Master collapsible spare. Which size? Does it fit in the frunk?

    I have a 2020 4S with red brake calipers. After two flats I bought an 18 inch Cayenne collapsible spare tire from a wrecking yard. I then got a scissors jack from Amazon that fits perfectly in the jacking sockets of the Taycan. The spare takes up a fair amount of space in the trunk but the...
