I'm monitoring my 12V battery in the tube on my dashboard, I always did.
Normally it's 13,6V, when it charges it's 14,4V, all ok.
After the recall of my HV battery and s/w updates last month I saw my 12V battery was charging, 14,4V in the tube.
All ok.
No problem.
Normally, when the 12V battery...
I got an offer from my dealer to extend my warranty for the second time.
All together I have used the extended warranty only once (2 years for €1500, special offer) so total warranty time is about 4,5 years until it ends in december 2024.
My car has been pretty much trouble-free but now I have...
I spoke to a technical friend of mine and he knows a thing or two about Porsche.
If your SoH may look lower than expected you can recalibrate the battery.
Porsche uses the following method [edited]
-Drive the battery below 2% SoC.
-Don't drive or charge the car for at least 6,5 hours...
Rims are chemically stripped, blasted and powdercoated.
Something different for the Stormtrooper.
First impression when I put them on the car: clean look.
The brakes stand out much more.
I like it!
I was kinda fed up by the tire shop cuz every time there was a little damage to the rims.
Also...
Haha, not actual Center Locks but center caps of black anodized aluminum in the shape of center locks for Taycan.
They withstand winters with salt on the roads (I'm from the Netherlands).
They served about 3 years, still look like new (see pics).
Box is a bit damaged though.
Looking for €40.
I thought I knew everything about the Taycan.
But no, I think I found a new "feature".
When you're in Range mode you can't select a higher speed for (A)CC than the max speed which is set in Range mode.
Yesterday I had to speed up when in Range mode to about 160 km/h but when I selected ACC the...
Looks like someone found a way to increase power on a Taycan/RS e-Tron GT.
It's in Germany but can be done by yourself if I understood it correctly.
Powerboost now on all the time.
Vmax raised etc.
Take a look HERE
Hi guys,
I'm being offered a special extended warranty cuz I'm a "regular customer and Taycan driver" although my car is already 30 months old so my 24 months of factory warranty is already over by 6 months...
I'm being offered three choices:
1 year €911, normally €1850.
2 year €1678, normally...
I always charge to 85% and this was my SoH in augustus when I first monitored my battery.
That was after 23.000km
I know that degradation is the most in the first 10%, after that it'll slow down but still 90,3% isn't what I expected...
So, I changed my charging habbit and set it to 100% to...
So the Taycan has a 2-speed gearbox.
As we all know, a gearbox is to overcome the shortcomings of an engine/motor.
So why did Porsche make a gearbox as electric motors really don't need a gearbox after all due to their power and torquecurve.
I guess it was to defeat Tesla but in the end it isn't...
Here's an overview of all the campaign numbers of the Taycan (-may 2022).

I remembered this was posted on this forum but I can't seem to find the thread.
Maybe some of you know?
Anyway, this is a perfect example how things can go wrong on the...
AMB5 done 7 weeks ago and (still) no problems whatsoever.
Today I recieved another 11 updates OTA (infotainment, agenda, streaming, etc).
Glad to see Porsche is still improving their software.
OTA update is working properly, apparently. ?
To upgrade your Taycan Turbo to S-spec!
Has repairs done but only on underside and hardly noticable.
Thinking about €850 (new price: €2700).
Price is including shipping in EU.
Will ship worldwide.
