Just turned over 11k and recently discovered a noise when pressing the brake at a low speed. You all may be aware that when you press the brakes, the regen is actually what slows the car (unless aggressively pressed) and there's a switch over at some point (around 10mph and below) where the...

I'll try it next time!

See the picture. How many times are you guys seeing this? This is about the 4th time I've had this happen and it's frustrating when it does. You power on the car and none of the screens show anything. The only thing you get is the speedometer and the "Porsche" and (if you have the passenger...

The 50% setting worked perfectly. No errors in charging. So this definitely is the solution IF you want to use the Taycan charger. Just poorly designed. After doing this and watching the posts, I researched the non-Porsche EV chargers and settled on the ChargePoint Home Flex 6-50. It comes...

Did some research and picked up a ChargePoint Home Flex 6-50. Make sure you go 6-50! This comes with the 6 gauge wire - LONG cord. It definitely handles the 50 amp charge. The ONLY way to use the default Taycan charger is if you step it down to the 50% setting. I took some pictures to show...

Thank you! I will try it.

Any idea on how to adjust it? I didn't see anything in the directions.

I have the generic charger that came with the car. No screen, therefore no adjustment capability. Just purchased a Chargepoint Home Flex for $750 because it's supposed to allow the 50 amp charging. If not - I'm off to Home Depot for some 40 amp breakers.

Because I'd rather not replace the 50 amps with 40, which will reduce my charge to 32 amps and lengthen my charge time, I just purchased the Chargepoint Home Flex charger for $750. They "say" they can handle the 50 amps and guaranteed a return, if not. If that fails, I'm off to Home Depot to...

With the "no screen" Porsche charger that came with the car, it takes the 50 amps from the wall and tries to feed 50 amps (40 amps reduced) to the car, which is too much for the 10g factory wire. The "dumb" charger thinks it can handle the higher amps - but it can't.

The charger that came with the car can't be adjusted. It accepts what's coming from the wall (50 amps) and knows the car can take 50 amps and just pushes the accelerator down. See pic

OK! Porsche has finally come up with an official answer. They officially asked me to reduce my 50 amp breakers to 40 amps, which will effectively give me 32 amps continuous - and not overheat the charger. Makes you wonder who puts out the specs - and do they put out the specs BEFORE actually...

There are other threads on this subject, but none of them address the root causes. Somebody did post a solution and the reason it works is because of the root problem. The standard charger, the one that doesn't have the digital screen, is what comes with the car by default. Porsche recommends...

I have mine set under the general profile to charge to 85%. This has worked for about 6 months except for the charger overheating problem. Now I find myself charging after nearly every trip, regardless of how much is left. It seemed to be the only way to bypass the overheating. However, now the...

It's the charger. It overheats. Feel the cord after about 30 minutes, you'll feel it. This doesn't happen in cold environments, only when it's hot.

I think you hit it on the head. I had it parked in my hangar for 4 days. No internet. It's back to normal today.

I went out of town for 4 days and when I got back, my 2022 Taycan keeps going to the setup screen when I turn on the car. I have to click setup, and then Next on the rest of the screens and then it remembers everything, including my radio settings, configurations and reconnects automatically to...

So here are the results - I ran to the car when the charge errored out. The battery temp was 91 F, so it's not the batteries overheating. It's the charger. Off to the dealer I go. On another note, this might be a common issue on EV's. We also have a Lincoln Aviator Hybrid (2021). We've...

Got my Taycan last December. Perfect charging... until it got hot outside. My garage runs warm too. I'd noticed my charger cable getting warm. I hear the car's fan turn on after 30 minutes or so of charging. Going to check the battery temp at failure to see if the error might be the car...

Who knows... Maybe one day soon, we'll be able to change our car color like we change shirts! Check this out - color changing car!
