    Taycan efficiency vs VW ID7 … can it be true?

    Difference in wheel sizes between the cars can have a significant impact to KWH consumption. The Taycan has wider tires with a bigger 'footprint' on the pavement creating a larger 'rolling resistance'

    Auto High Beams

    Agree with minimum speed requirement comment above by @Hirschaj. When driving with the lights on, do you see a headlight icon with a "A" next to it on the dashboard? If not, check your settings on the PCM to confirm "Auto Dimming"

    USA Taycan insurance.

    I also have State Farm in a bundled package, including home and excess liability. They have very reasonable rates for good drivers. However, I know that I am 'self insuring' at some level. When State Farm authorizes a repair, their scope includes using used parts when available and generally...

    White LED on ChargePoint, What Does It Mean?

    It's both 2.4 & 5Ghz. Here's the product sheet. https://chargepoint.ent.box.com/v/CPH50-HomeFlex-DS-EN-US . I have a strong, stable signal in my garage and it's disconnected once in a year. I suspect it did an a software/firmware upgrade and got lost with the new software/firmware. If the...

    White LED on ChargePoint, What Does It Mean?

    If you did have a green light, then you need to re-configure & re-connect it to your home network. Approach the charger with your iPhone that has your Chargepoint app and follow the instructions. This is similar to the procedure you used when you initially installed the charger. Good luck.

    EA (Electrify America) Sucks - that is all

    Experienced today what I think is a true representation of Electrify America's values as they relate to customer experience. My closest EA charging station is located at EA headquarter office in Reston, VA. When I arrived today, 2 of the 4 chargers (all 350 KwH) were out of service and the other...

    $1,000 yearly EV registration fee?

    Wow, I feel fortunate being in Virginia. I just did a 3 year renewal registration for our 2022 Taycan at $452. By comparison, I also just completed a 3 year renewal registration for our 2022 Boxster GTS 4.0 at $98. Difference is EV road tax as the vehicles are similarly apprised. There is also a...

    Plug & Charge issues with EA

    Interesting (& your experience differs from what Porsche Support told me). I'll keep your feedback in mind when I come up for the 2nd renewal.

    Are you referring to the 2nd renewal?

    Plug & Charge issues with EA

    The Porsche Support rep told me I needed to renew the charging agreement on the 1st year and then it will renew automatically the following years.

    Electrify America charging issues

    Since the update & EA Maintenance, I didn't need to use the My Porsche app as the P&C worked. I did use the app to initiate the charge prior to the update when I was only able to get P&C ~50% of the time. Only needed to Call EA once to get the charger initiated.

    Electrify America charging issues

    FWIW, after major software update and EV's recent cloud "maintenance" a few weeks ago, I have tried ~6 EA locations in my area and all provided P&C successfully on 1st attempt. This was not the case before the update & EA Maintenance. One observation though is that all seem to be running at a...

    12v battery problems - again

    FWIW, here is another data point. Last November/December, our Taycan was held hostage at the local Porsche dealership for over 4 weeks to get the big update. I monitored the car a few times a week before the update. During the 4th week, they did the update. The history shows they moved the car...

    HomeLink - Garage Door Opens by Itself

    Yes, I repeated the complete process of programming the Taycan's Garage Door function to the Lift Master Door opener, including resetting the opener by pressing the "Yellow" button. I followed the instruction in the Taycan Manual. Good luck.

    HomeLink - Garage Door Opens by Itself

    Had a similar issue last year when I needed to reprogram my Audi S5 to a new garage door. Door would randomly open. I assumed that there was interference when I was programing it for the new door and repeated the procedure the next day (when no cars were driving by an no neighbors opening garage...

    Software Update Cancelled

    It would be nice if Porsche provided some communication about the update if the guidance has changed. Too much to expect, I guess.

    Brake hold question…

    Have you tried it when you were on an incline? I found mine kicks in when I'm sitting on an uphill slope with the brakes applied.
