About one per week, always in stop-and-go traffic, I'll hear a beep and then the backup camera window pops up. Just me or is this a known bug with the Tayan software?

To preserve battery life, Porsche recommends charging to a maximum of 85% for daily use, using 100% charges only for longer trips. This is a Lithium battery thing, not a Porsche thing, often discussed on the forum. I know quite a bit about batteries, so preserving battery capacity over time is...

I charged at the Electrify America location at Valley Fair mall in San Jose, California. I plugged in to a 150KW charger to get just a bit of charge while grabbing some lunch. The charger only output 63KW, but that was fine with me since I really only needed a top-up. I returned 38 minutes...

I made a trip driving North from the San Francisco Bay Area in California, on highways 80, 505, and 5 and then back, visiting each of the Elecrify America highway locations twice - once driving up and once driving back. This meant that I charged just a few minutes at each stop, but was able to...

My Taycan is quite new, and I charge at home, but I wanted to try out the "free for me" EA network. So after work I drove to a downtown-style EA location about a mile from the office that I almost never visit anymore. They have seven stalls, and all of them are full - including two Taycan and a...

As we all know, the Taycan uses mechanical brakes only (no regen) when new, and then starts to add in regen braking when it decides that it wants to - the hypothesis being that it forces mechanical braking until the brakes are good and "bedded in". This happens - according to other posts -...

In no particular order, some facts and observations, with a sprinkling of opinions mixed in: I learned that options and their prices vary widely by country. The below is for US Taycans, and, as mentioned in the title, is skewed toward the GTS and specifically a White GTS, though most of the...

I would like to read and record individual cell voltages. Basically I'm curious to see how the Taycan does pack balancing, among other things. What methods are available to read the voltage of individual battery cells or, barring that, measure the delta between the higest and lowest cell...
