    Have a look at the list I generate of all public available NHTSA info about our Porsche Taycan. Searching for 12V showed some docs with interesting info.

    Need some Help Understanding Charging Rates

    I guess the charger has some software/hardware issues. Did you look in the car for the charging speed the Taycan believes it is getting ? And the variation in charging speed depends on many things like equipment in the car, capabilities of the charger, temperature, state of charge, ... There...

    How do I know whether the 150KW onboard charger or other internal components are missing from my build?

    If I go to myporsche.com and log in, I can view the optional equipment of my car by clicking on - my vehicles - the picture of my car - show equipment details - all technical data You might need to scroll down before seeing the text to click. Look for On-Board DC-charger with 150kW This might...

    WMG4 Campaign?

    Are you sure it's WMG4? Could it be WMB4, which is Replacing High-Voltage Charger. Have a look at https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10187873-0001.pdf and https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10189694-0001.pdf

    Taycan software update - reported problems post update

    Call them today and ask them to make a print-out of the complete PQIS(Porsche Quality Information System) history of your car. Ask them to prepare an explanation of all important events on this print-out. If you have a list of all complaints, ask the service advisor to accompany you with the...

    Porsche Sentry Mode - How to lobby Porsche for updates?

    I think it would be a useful addition to the car. But instead of asking Porsche to design and implement it, I would like to suggest to urge Porsche to open up the Taycan for externally developed software additions and create a Porsche app store to allow developers to sell/give away the addition...

    Can someone tell me what this means

    Our Taycan is equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), have a look at https://newsroom.porsche.com/en_AU/2021/products/technical-feature-the-porsche-taycan-23670.html . For the Collision Avoidance Assist (CAA) to work properly, it needs good visibility. This warning is an...

    New to Porsche and 2 Safety Recalls in one month

    It would be (very) concerning if we had a safety recall every month since introduction of the Taycan. You are just "lucky", having the car for two months and receiving two recalls. Have a look at https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2021/PORSCHE/TAYCAN%2525204S/4%252520DR/AWD#recalls and select your...

    Update 3: Porsche jabbing brakes and stopping [Driver Control required!] while not in Innodrive/ACC/ALK

    I have this too. I suspect it's the car detection in front that "sees" a massive blob of asphalt due to the bump, thinks it's a car and gets in panic mode for a split second and brakes? I'll try to create a short movie showing the issue and hand it over to the SA at PC Rotterdam. He's very...

    Let us know how your recall update (Powertrain Shutdown / Loss of Power) went

    I know about the PIWIS equipment, have tried to acquire one myself to read fault codes and log files, but too expensive and don't want to buy a shady old laptop with an illegal copy of the software. The documents I received state Pqis and PIQIS. After searching on Duckduckgo, I found reference...

    Let us know how your recall update (Powertrain Shutdown / Loss of Power) went

    My turbo got the AMB5 update today. Since I also complained again about Apple Car Play and previously already supplied them with a 1 minute movie showing the PCM going blank, they had another look and this time the car had some error codes. They created a PRMS ticket and uploaded the movie to...

    Power Loss Update

    That sounds really high. Let's assume for a minute 7,500 Taycans are sold until now, and sales are going on for 2 years. That means the average age of any of the 7,500 cars is 1 year. Your chance means ~2,500 owners would have experienced it. I expect the media to go ballistic when that would be...

    400v charging upgrade - now a must have with Tesla network in NA?

    Wouldn't it be better if the super charger stalls have an extra cable with a CCS connector ? I wouldn't like to use an adapter with 400V and lots of amperes going through it. AFAIK, the CCS cables are water cooled(blue in the picture below), has to be a beefy adapter that can handle the current...

    Additional Taycan Variants

    I forgot to ask the first question: Is it an operational or financial lease ? Because operational means they own the car, are responsible for any issues and you are just "borrowing" it in return for monthly payments. Financial means they lent you the money to purchase the car in return for a...

    Additional Taycan Variants

    Sounds to me you need to (re)read the fine print of your lease contract. I know for sure I would drop the car at the lessor and write them a letter stating that the car is at their disposal to get fixed. Payments would be suspended until the car is fixed and received back. I haven't read all you...

    If you’re bored sometime - go test drive a Model 3
