    YELLOW TURLE ON DASH AND CANNOT ACCELERATE! HELP!

    What is your battery temperature? This happened to me once when the battery got too hot (very hot day, very hard driving.) It recovered when it cooled off.

    Car has been working fine since. I’m chalking it up as a software glitch until it won’t drive any more.

    November will make 3 years of ownership on this one, I’m on track for under 10k/year. That really doesn’t strike me as high use!

    Now that you mention it I’ve had a few red charge button experiences at a ChargePoint station in town. But it’s been specific to that spot.

    Were you charging when you got the error, or did it happen just turning the car on?

    I just don’t understand the reluctance to drive in the Porsche community. I put 50-65k on all my Boxsters and 911s. It’s a car. Cars are for driving!

    Yes. 28000 miles on the first one.

    Well fortunately a brand new Porsche service center opened 2 miles from my house.

    Not sure if sarcasm? :) I definitely buy my cars to use them.

    I was not charging, in fact I simply powered the car up to leave. Power cycle fixed it and it ran fine. Do I have a battery issue, or was it a random Taycan glitch? We will never know!

    Anyone carry around the charge cable that came with the car?

    It's too damn big. I carry around a Tesla mobile charger and a TeslaTap.

    Plastic swipe things for electric charging port becoming blue

    There used to be a product called "Black Again" that would fix up black plastics like this. I don't know what the modern equivalent would be.

    From Taycan Turbo S to 911 Targa 4 GTS

    I miss my Targa and admit I've been window shopping them myself. I hate the thought of going back to ICE, but...man...they are so beautiful and fun.

    PCNA Monitoring Battery Cells Remotely But Customer has to pay $300 plus Per Yr for monitoring

    I think I am being monitored, and don't have privacy mode on....but the fact they sent me that email makes me second-guess it.

    Study: Less than 1% of EV owners would go back to full gas-powered vehicles... would you?

    I think about going back when my Taycan pisses me off. I miss my 991 Targa a lot. But no, the EV power and torque is too much to give up.

    Getting a Taycan after Tesla - Few questions

    AFAIK it still doesn't save your settings. The built in nav is "okay." You'll want to use it over Carplay anyway, as it's the only way to precondition your battery for charging on trips. I end up putting my phone in the door pocket.
