    Hill Descent Control or similar on Taycan?

    Unless it’s built in to the traction control system I’d be surprised if it has it. I’ve not seen anything in my menus or read about it. My older X5 billed it as a system for going down a hill for you almost like you’d be walking next to the car. I never used it b/c I had never found an...

    Chrono Required for Launch Control on 4S?

    Funny enough I’ve never owned a Porsche before this Turbo and when I spec’d it I felt that the chrono was a necessary design requirement from the others I had been in :)

    Steering Sport Chrono

    I’ve found that I really like having the knob b/c I haven’t figured out (or maybe you cannot) how to default to Sport Plus. I initially picked the package b/c the dash clock just felt like it belonged there in a Porsche but now that I have it I’m glad I have the knob b/c I routinely move to...

    Mobile Charger Plus

    Yep as others noted the lighter weight version is available yet. I’m watching for it to buy to keep in the car as my MCC is mounted on the wall in the wall box.

    Power Steering Plus

    I haven’t paid attention but it may make a difference as to what driving mode you’re in. In my M5 the steering was noticeably different in sport mode vs. standard. In my Taycan I find I’m in “normal” most of the time as I don’t remember to switch to sport plus till I’m driving so I haven’t...

    How good is the Taycan’s navigation system?

    I would say it’s middle of the road. I don’t really use in-car Nav except for when I’m heading somewhere I’ve not been before. Entering a destination is pretty much the same as our Tesla which is (in my mind) the leader of the pack on Nav integration - believe still using google vs. HERE? Turn...

    Taycan Crap Nav

    Man, I wonder how much is geographically based from a difference perspective. I've road tripped in my Turbo and it was great. Functionally really no different than road tripping in our Tesla but much more comfortable and faster (hate driving the tesla). My only gripe was the real time updates...

    Taycan roadtrip for newbie EV owner was a bust

    I looked at my EVgo account and I’m not able to create a digital card for it like I can with ChargePoint or Electrify America.

    Taycan roadtrip for newbie EV owner was a bust

    Man I would really be surprised if there wasn’t something equivalent! It’s a great feature to be honest.

    Taycan roadtrip for newbie EV owner was a bust

    Yes there there should also be a CC on file with Porsche for any overages beyond the included charging. But the app doesn’t have a digital card option that I’ve found. Which means the app has to be opened and you confirm the charger you’re at. Ideally it’d let you setup a card for NFC so you...

    Taycan roadtrip for newbie EV owner was a bust

    It's just the Apple Wallet feature on an iphone. I don't know what android options are. The app itself has to support it... more and more do from my experience. I just keep the ones handy that I actually use when traveling. They are stacked below your payment cards. See my other post with a...

    Taycan roadtrip for newbie EV owner was a bust

    The app itself does it. Sadly, I don’t think the Porsche charging app supports it. When I’ve used it I had to open the app and tell it what charger I was going to plug in. Pretty outdated approach. Compare that to the native Electrify America app which gives me a digital card. EDIT: wow those...

    Taycan roadtrip for newbie EV owner was a bust

    Interesting - here your phone doesn't need to have any data connectivity for your RFID digital card to work. Opening an app? Yeah. But if you store your RFID card digitally (assuming your phone supports this - I only use iphone so it's all I know) you don't need any cell or data service for...

    Dealing with the front license plate

    I had a retractable plate on my BMW M5 and the only catch is it needs a healthy amount of room behind the plate to retract back into the car. I don't see that being an option on the Taycan (I've looked!) I'm periodically checking back in on these threads b/c I live in an area where some...

    A Most Amazing Thing!

    I agree completely. Took an 750 mile round trip jaunt a month or so ago and it was crazy quiet on the road. It was like a commercial for Grey Pupon or something crazy. I was blowing down country back roads rolling through twisties with music on and it was peaceful. Hard to really explain...

    Connectivity and WiFi hotspot work perfectly on mine !

    Interesting. I'm due to schedule the service call to get my update loaded. I had read somewhere there was an active negotiation taking place in North America between Porsche and Verizon and ATT and that was speculated to be the reason our hotspots weren't active. Never got anything but...

    Taycan roadtrip for newbie EV owner was a bust

    Gads man, sorry your trip was a bust. I did my first roadtrip last month and it was flawless and actually turned out to be quite a bit better than nearly the same route in our Tesla. It shows that the networks are not yet mature - in the midwest Electrify America easily holds its own against...

    Setting up for charging in garage

    The home management system is a separate thing Porsche is selling I believe. The PMCC itself has a web interface that logs all usage and you can connect to it to pull down a CSV with all the times and energy fed to the car. I coil mine on the wall box... you know, the over priced Porsche box...

    Charger Wall Mount pictures

    When I ordered my car I had trouble finding good pictures of the wall mount for the charger. I was able to piece it together based on the manual but thought this picture set may help someone else planning for their hookup. the wall plate mounts with three hefty screws. The cabinet goes on that...

    Radar/Laser Detectors - Hardwired

    I actually don't really care about radar in the back but in my area I've been hit in the rear by laser. Laser is more pin-pointed in the rear because it's typically from passing them and they zap you as you pass meaning your distance from the gun is closer which means the diameter of the laser...
