Occasionally I have to drive our Dodge Challenger. It's a car that I bought for my son to shuttle himself and his brother back and forth to high school. That son is now in college and I use the Challenger when conditions are not appropriate for the Taycan (it was in the low 30s this morning and...

I’m sure the market will get flooded with these over the next 6 months but here is an adapter that should start shipping in January. Anyone know if this will work to charge our vehicles at Supercharging stations...
A word of caution for people in Austin. My wife brought our Taycan into Porsche Austin for its annual inspection. They performed the safety inspection and provided a list of recommended services. Here's what they recommended:
Replace 3 tires
4 wheel alignment
First, when they charged my wife...
I'm confused about how recall information is provided to vehicle owners and hoping someone here can help clarify. Here's my situation... I have a 2022 CT4. The Porsche website does not show any recalls active for my vehicle when I login and go to the "About My Vehicle" page. In the US, we have a...
The latest Porsche survey is about a concept they are calling a "luxury Charging Experience" where you book a fancy meal and charging session while on a road trip. I absolutely blasted them in the survey for considering such a frivolous idea while they have so many other meaningful issues that...
Articles like this are a good reminder of how every car from every company can still have serious issues. ICE, EV, Hybrid… bad stuff still happens.

I jumped on the Porsche website today and noticed this vehicle that looks like a Taycan but is not. This is a partial screenshot of the main image on the page. Does anyone have any clue what it is?
I've posted a few dash cam videos here in the past. Normally they are good reactions to my Mamba Green Taycan. Today's reaction was different. I hope her double birds made her feel all warm and fuzzy inside :)
I got an email from Porsche with a coupon code. I’m in the US so I don’t know if it will work elsewhere.

I fumbled with this for about 30 seconds before I figured it out. Then I looked it up in the manual when I got home. I’ve had a Cross Turismo for a full year and only realized this today.
To close the rear hatch (or trunk) from the center console screen you need to push AND HOLD the proper...
I was inspired by @whitex posting a thread about installing a Verizon network extender in his garage to get an LTE signal to his car. I have very poor and spotty Verizon coverage at my house. Sometimes I can successfully use the MyPorsche app to start pre-heat/cool when the car is in my garage...
I've seen a few posts about battery temperatures when fast charging. I'm on a mini road trip and decided to pay careful attention to my car this morning as it routed me to an EA station. When I added the route into the PCM my battery was at 73F. By the time I got to the charging station (25...

It was fun to drive along with this Gentian Blue Taycan for a few minutes this morning on my way into the office. Hopefully the owner gets to see this video. Also, if you're still waiting for your Taycan to get delivered hopefully you enjoy watching this...
