    Get free charging at Electrify America stations until 11/29

    Admin, where did you find that pic? Was it part of a EA news release? I ask because that is my Taycan. One day, while charging, a guy approached me and asked to photograph my car. I wondered if my 4S would ever be famous. ?

    Adaptive headlights will finally be legal in USA

    I have my fingers crossed this can be enabled via software update too. But fwiw, I asked this direct question to someone in new product development at Porsche at a Taycan promotional event. He thought it was unlikely that the adaptive headlight features could be enabled via software upgrade...

    What level are you? Post your garage charging plans or what you've done

    @porsche_coyote, We have ordered a second EV, and like you, will be sharing a 50 amp circuit between the two vehicles. I plan to order a couple clipper creek share2’s. But I am concerned about using the charging timers. It seems that on initial plug-in, the Taycan briefly checks the power supply...

    Parking in reverse problems

    I’m curious if anyone has a solution to this as well. I back mine into the garage now up an incline and am having difficulty controlling the speed in a smooth fashion too. One thing I decided to do was put rubber tire stops on the garage floor so The jerking motion doesn’t blast me into the...

    How long are the tires lasting?

    I had to change my Continental ProContacts at 18,600 miles. The belt was even showing through the inside of one of the front tires. Rears we’re almost to the wear bars. I asked for a 4-wheel-alignment. The dealer called me later and said the bumpers had to be removed to perform an alignment so...

    iPhone notification volume

    That is what I recall, but will try again when I get my vehicle back. (Having to replace hardware that stopped working during the software upgrade.)

    iPhone notification volume

    You just need to lower the volume while the notification is playing. That new lower volume level seems to apply to all types of notification (text, calendar, Waze, etc). Have a passenger text you over and over and adjust it until you get it to your preferred volume. Key is that you must adjust...

    Announced: Software update for 2020 Taycan models ?

    Great video! Thank you. I like the option to have ambient lighting match the album artwork of the current song. This is the first I heard of the new feature. Are there more color options or is it the same seven (or so) choices that existed before the update? one more question...I saw there...

    iPhone notification volume

    I found on another site that your only opportunity to adjust the volume is during the notification. So keep the phone in your hand while using Waze or while a friend is texting you. Then while the notification is splitting your eardrums, crank the volume down (on the phone) quickly. It will...

    How many miles on your Taycan?

    12,800 miles I love the vehicle and drive it whenever I can. My family thinks I spend too much time with the vehicle - so much time that it brings back memories of the SNL Mercury Mistress commercial (can’t find it on YouTube due to copyright). Any of you who have seen it should know what I...

    Tax and/or government credits

    I got it on my 2019 return. Some others had said it would likely be limited by AMT, but that did not seem to be the case for me. When we had other improvements done, I had the electrician itemize the cost of that additional circuit. Here is more info: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i8911.pdf

    Did plug and charge just work???

    You are probably, correct. Dude just got a new Kia and was playing with the app. btw, the kia charging app should not let them use any charger over 50 kw when a 50 kw charger is available. i could go on an on about people who lack ev charging etiquette. But I’m in too good a mood tonight to get...

    Did plug and charge just work???

    It is a model year 2020. Didn’t receive any software update notifications this morning. PCM software version appears to be unchanged (version 3276). Maybe just an EA glitch? Fingers crossed that it’s really working!

    Did plug and charge just work???

    Technically it did! I am not Hassan but I plugged in and my Taycan immediately started charging...no apps or anything. Hassan, dm me if you see this and I owe you money.

    Night Vision Assist - Worth It?

    Sorry, i used the wrong term. Images of pedestrians are highlighted on the screen in my taycan with a yellow or red box. But the headlights don’t automatically light up the pedestrian. That part sounds really cool.

    Night Vision Assist - Worth It?

    The flashing/highlighting of pedestrians mentioned is not available in the US because adaptive beam headlights have net been approved for use by the NHTSA. (I am hopeful this can be turned on by a software update once the proposed rule is passed.) Still would recommend for all the other...

    PSA: Check your charging receptacle

    @REIL Thank you. It was Leviton brand. This happened to be the same brand with which many others on T forums had nearly identical problems. I heard good things about the Hubbell brand. And Cooper too. Thanks all for the advice.

    PSA: Check your charging receptacle

    I plugged my Taycan in this morning and about an hour later, my wife smelled burning plastic. My NEMA 14-50 receptacle was melting in the garage. It was installed by a trusted electrician but they weren‘t well Experienced in EVs. Btw, the charger has been plugged in for months without being...
