    Taycan 4S+ Cold weather experiences

    I am in Minnesota where it’s below 0C for at least half of the year. My Taycan has been my daily driver since September (after an interminable wait!). I find it absolutely phenomenal in the cold with great handling and the lovely precook/heat timers coupled with being able to hit the button at...

    Taycan 4s parked on snow rolling forward - how why and wtf??

    This is an interesting post since I had the exact opposite scenario. We had several inches of snow dumped atop ice, I’m on the downslope on the road, my car is holding fine while cars around me are sliding and can’t make it up the hill. Oh I slid when I came to a stop. But once held it was rock...

    Recuperation Button

    The car glides without it, it’s a thing of true beauty. I love driving without regen. No mode will turn it on by default. If you have the sport steering wheel and have the individual mode, you can save this in your individual setting so it goes on automatically, but I don’t know why you’d ever...

    Taycan Lands on Roof of Another Car in Home Crash

    Any time I am having a bad day I’m coming back to read this thread. Thanks @Dee and @Vim Schrotnock for sharing your misery and making the rest of us feel better.

    Automatic Trunk Opener not working with foot motion

    This is great info! My wife and I have been randomly kicking around (and often kicking the car) to see when it works. It’s become a bit of a joke since we’re totally surprised each time it actually works...now with the secret key I can’t wait to show off my kicking prowess!

    New Taycan Owner - charging frustration with mobile app!

    I use it almost exclusively for the preheat function. But it stopped working for me about a month ago and still hasn’t been restored. :mad: Yes we can create timers and have those pre heat / cool the car, and that works fine when I have a regular schedule, and I can hit the pre heat/cool button...

    Is the Taycan 4S lower front bumper wrappable?

    No but it is in UK (I recall that PPS post and have been yearning to get that in the States, I hate the bumpy not black plastic material on my jet black Taycan)! Canada is like UK in the Americas, get the cousins to send some PPS love our way, once us southerners are allowed back up north we can...

    The Blasted B Pillar

    Left elbow on the B-pillar and right hand on the A-pillar (outside). It isn’t the most natural, but strangely it’s more comfortable than some other cars I’ve had. To be clear, it does suck, mounting my thigh over the bolster and coordinating a push / pull to lever myself out of my car (I’m 6’1”...

    Comfort Access Error

    Same, and I have not yet had the frunk actually work from the hand gesture. Fortunately it’s so seldom I want it open that I don’t really care, at least not much. Now if the trunk would stop sounding like a trash truck backing up (without requiring a mod)...

    Screens in the taycan

    I am pretty sure it is acrylic or treated glass as they state to not use cleaning products directly on it, but I don’t know the definitive answer. I will say whatever the surface is, it sure loves fingerprints!

    Porsche Connect Doesn't -- no connection issue

    My problem is similar but different: I can see my car info in Connect app, but I cannot remotely preheat / cool (MN fall, it’s heat I’m after). I started with my dealer, he contacted the Connect team on my behalf. They were able to replicate the same thing and so I wait again...

    Taycan issues!!!

    Ditto. A few minor items, and a few annoyances (like the stupid trunk lid), but nothing really major. Sounds like @The Captain got a pretty crappy hand!

    Does weight not matter?

    Weight matters a lot in terms of power and efficiency. What you’re seeing isn’t just weight, but weight of components that negatively impact weight but positively affect the performance. Efficiency is the big loser here.

    Small road trip, EPA says what?

    Follow up...same route but avoided the freeway work around saving 3 miles of circuitous driving. The real BUT this time is that it isn’t a gorgeous October day requiring air conditioning to cool the car, instead it’s running the heat the whole time while the external temp went from 34F to 36F...

    Porsche Connect Doesn't -- no connection issue

    That blows on so many levels. And sadly I may have to start escalating as well. It’s really weird, the Connect app and the website see my car, give me current info, but when I try the remote pre-heating I just get an error message. I’m more than a little irritated right now. Please keep posting...

    Adaptive cruise control vs a Porsche driver

    I didn’t spec it. I don’t use CC a lot as it is and didn’t see the value of the purchase. I have done a few 100+ mile drives since getting the Taycan, I spent a lot of it using normal cruise control. I’d have to go up and down on occasion, the stick control is easy enough. I did think a few...

    Ordered a Gentian Blue 4S

    Once you get over the sticker shock, you get to enjoy a truly amazing piece of machinery crossed with luxury. I love mine, I’m sure you will love yours as well.

    Anyone know what this symbol on the instrument cluster means?

    You have 5 minutes to jet and get warm before snow? I’ve never seen the symbol, would love to know the real answer!
