    Poll: Charging Taycan at a Tesla Supercharger in the U.S.

    100% success rate at over 30+ locations with both J1.1 and J1.2. Slow(ish) charging rate, but reliable and always an open tower on trips along the East coast.

    Taycan rear window crack

    Make sure to check your insurance. Most policies have glass coverage. Worst case this is a comprehensive claim with a higher deductible, but you should have some coverage to minimize the pain.

    Taycan rear window crack

    A chip is not a manufacturing defect. Something caused the chip. Might even have happened a while ago and wasn't noticeable until something (usually thermal stress) started the crack. Odd spot but that was impact damage. In 25 years in the repair business I don't think I have ever seen a...

    In What World Does This Make Sense?

    Do a search on this site for Zunsport. Fairly long thread with multiple pictures. Found the one I was referring to: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/i-tried-the-zunsport-grills-and-i-like-them.15866/

    Warping plastic under bonnet

    Mine (2023 GTS) wasn't that bad but had the same uneven fit against the fender/wing. Pretty cheap plastic in general under the hood. Can't answer the warranty question. Never thought is was bad enough to raise a stink considering it's out of sight.

    Taycan HV battery recall quarterly reports to NHTSA - April 13, 2026

    I did say "yet", which would cover you.

    Taycan HV battery recall quarterly reports to NHTSA - April 13, 2026

    Not quite accurate. ARB6 & 7 were recalls to install the battery monitoring software. Those cars were where no battery defects were known to exist (yet). The other recalls, with the lower vehicle numbers, were issued to cover batteries with some known defect.

    No air coming out of the drivers side air vent?

    I think I need to turn the ad blocker off.

    No air coming out of the drivers side air vent?

    @Miguelst - Might not be your problem (don't know the production year on your car) but the HVAC servo motors are an issue . TSB/Warranty doc from Porsche: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2024/MC-11005598-0001.pdf The fact that it stopped, worked, and stopped again fits a mechanical problem...

    Tesla Charging does not work as promised

    Well that's not good. They acknowledge there is a problem yet offer no solution. Elevated to the mother-ship or is the dealer just shrugging their shoulders? It's like the navigation problem in the EU and UK. Zero real help from Porsche. If you are lucky they admit there is a problem but any...

    Tesla Charging does not work as promised

    The problem charging almost has to be a car specific problem. I've been up and down the East coast and charged a 15+ different Tesla SCs without an issue. Your on board charger is having a problem with the 400 volt SCs? A software update that needs to be done? I'd like to think the dealer could...

    Tesla Charging does not work as promised

    @SergeyIndy, just for you I did a little experimenting (but mostly because I have a trip coming up and haven't used Tesla SCs in 3 months, and your experiences had me a little worried). 3 Tesla Superchargers close to my house. Never used them previously since they are too close to home to be...

    FS: Lectron NACS to CCS1 adapter

    Someone must need a bargain adapter. Bump.

    Tesla Charging does not work as promised

    I suspect that right now, even though the station is "P & C available", it's only available for a 2026 Taycan. Audi is even farther behind. My 2026 has zero P&C. It's supposed to be there for EA, but fails every time (just one more reason to avoid EA). I'm certainly not holding my breath for...

    Tesla Charging does not work as promised

    From Porsche: Plug & Charge is not working Not all charging stations are compatible with Plug & Charge. You'll be able to tell whether a particular charging station supports Plug & Charge in the My Porsche app. Here’s how to find out: Go to My Porsche app (login required) Go to Map and enter...

    Tesla Charging does not work as promised

    I can't tell from what you posted if there are any model year restrictions. What is displayed in your post it pretty generic about access. I asked Gemini and Perplexity about plug & charge for the Taycan. Both said 2026 only so far. Below is Gemini's response. "As of early 2026, Plug & Charge...

    Tesla Charging does not work as promised

    Seems to be a lot of confusion. At last check plug and charge was only enabled for the 2026 Taycan. I have been able to charge 100% of the time at Tesla Superchargers marked as open to non-Tesla vehicles. Probably 15 to 20 times on both J1.1 and J1.2 platforms and with both the Lectron and the...

    Best pickup questions J1.2..

    It's gone up in price (a lot) but I highly recommend taking delivery at Porsche's Atlanta headquarters. Add the "Porsche Experience Center Delivery" option to the build. You get treated very well for a half day at the center. Great meal in the restaurant, guided tour of the facility, a track...

    What's the best alternative to the Taycan?

    1) Zero rattles on my car (but not exactly a ton of miles on it yet). In general the fit and finish is the equal of the Taycan. B&O is marginal but so was the Bose in my Taycan. Both kind of suck for the price point. 2) 100% agree. Capacitive buttons are possibly the worst design ever. Whoever...
