My wife commented that sometimes when she is waiting to pick me up at the train the car seems to “rev the engine.” No engine so I’m not sure what she is talking about.
well, this morning I was sitting in the Starbucks parking lot with the car on and suddenly it sounds like a motor kicks on in a...
So I had a problem with my onboard charger (see a previous thread - resolved.) Now that I got the car back, I’ve been paying close attention to the charging performance.
Yesterday when I charged it, I noticed the charge rate was displayed differently between the PMCC and the car. The PMCC was...
I wish it was a complicated problem and I could say that their lack of experience was due to a new and complex technology but it’s just a lack of common sense. Had they actually looked at the PMCC when it was plugged in at the shop, they would have seen the problem but they just plugged it in...
I was going to try that -- car is currently in the shop due to a bad onboard charger (see another thread) so I was thinking a refresh and a PCM reboot prob would fix it.
For anybody interested, it was a bad onboard charger. My net suggestion is that if anything seems funky about charging, you need to do the legwork yourself and tell them what the problem is.
Almost every time I get into the car, I get a pop-up that says
Subscription Changed
Your SiriusXM subscription was changed
And I have to hit the OK button.
Everything seems to be fine -- I used to have the issue where the source disappeared and now this pops up so perhaps this is a bug with...
They are agreeing it’s a problem but they don’t think it’s the AC charger as “the DC side requires the AC charger to work properly.” I’m not an electrical engineer but that doesn’t sound right. At this point, just get it to work properly.
Cables are original and the web interface reports Ground Monitoring is activated (if that's what you mean by earthing)
I did not try the PMCC at the dealer -- I assumed they would. At this point, if I could get the car to charge anywhere else, I would think it was a PMCC issue, but 1 other...
Correct, only DC at the moment.
I agree with you. They charged the car up with DC and if they connected my PMCC to my car they only saw that It was connected, not that it was supplying proper power.
Here’s the current update - sent the car to the dealer and it comes back with them saying car and PMCC are both good, must be your circuit. So I have the electrician check everything. Circuit is fine.
What I have come to realize is that the service people really don't know that much about EV...
My two cents - I am very happy with the leather (red/black) and I could see the difference between it and the standard interior. I wanted to get in and it feel luxurious. I would not downgrade here. I test drove a car that was standard interior and I just felt it was ok - didn’t make me need to...
Now that you mention the malfunction - I think that might be it. I can't remember exactly but I feel like when I was going through the PMCC to figure out what was wrong, I could have sworn I saw it set to 48 amps -- I can't confirm that because I did do a factory reset at one point to see if the...
Thanks for your replies...
I'm leaning toward it being the PMCC - I'm going to be able to confirm today when I can get to an AC based chargepoint (DC based charging worked fine.)
The breaker is dedicated to the PMCC and is a 50amp circuit. The PMCC uses a NEMA 14-50 plug. Both legs are...
So in the app I noticed that my Taycan was reporting a charging error - I can’t really remember what the error was but I had never seen it before but I assumed it was something new with the app.
I’ve noticed in the past that my car sometimes doesn’t connect fully to the PMCC - and if I...
Hi everyone. For those of you who are watching this thread. I had to reset the PCM a number of times over several days and it finally resolved itself. It seemed to be fixed the first week of September but then my trial period ended on 9/8 - I’m not sure what actually fixed it but it’s been...
Thanks -- yes, I'm still stuck in the trial period, luckily that ends next week so I'm hoping something miraculous happens after that.
I have tried setting it with the <> key but the issue is that the source completely disappears from the row of icons so there's nothing to switch to.
So, I'm hoping for some ideas -- or at least someone else suffering like I am. So my SiriusXM disappears as a source -- I read that the solution is to reboot the PCM so I do that. And it works! But only for that one time I am in the car. So next time, I reboot again - and it works! But this time...
