The USB-Cs and 12v in the center console turn off after 30 minutes. I have my Garmin mini dashcam connected to one of the USB-Cs to avoid worrying about battery drain.
I received my Mamba Green sports chrono bezel from Tom at carpokes.com
It is a great match to my other mamba green bits. He has been gracious enough to make them in the color of choice and give them away as welcome gifts to his new found Taycan friends on his site.
If you are interested in the painted bezel, help out @Tom M by joining his Pcar forum at carpokes.com. He would appreciate new members to keep growing his grass roots site.
In addition to the painted bezel, there are a number of other interesting postings and mods on his site. It reminds me of...
Usually it is that part that scraps and makes the noise. Sometimes it is the actual bottom of the front splitter. It is best to use the front lift button (and save the location to memory if it is a frequent part of your drive), and to approach inclines/declines at a low speed angle. Also don't...
Anyone who doubts that ceramic coating makes a huge difference to keep the car clean, here is a picture of my Taycan I took earlier today. I drove the car up from my house in Georgia to Connecticut in October. It has been parked outside for the last 3 months. I have not washed it once in that...
When I first received my Taycan in April 2020, I was nervous about the 12V battery maintaining its charge when the car sat in the garage for 2 weeks periods. I used a trickle charger for lithium batteries. After the big software updates that are discussed at length in the forum, I stopped using...
Potential issues with the large battery and changes in battery tech are the main reasons I decided to lease vs purchase my 2020 even though Porsche’s lease program was not the most cost effective.
I totally agree that a preconditioned battery and low SOC are necessary to get the super fast charging rates. Today was one of those great sessions. I hit 260kW and was still above 200kW at 55% SOC. I was at the same station the day before and peaked at 158kW (no preconditioning).
Make sure you are completing the section that requires your credit card information. It is required for billing purposes in case you exceed the 30 minute free session.
My car is currently in Connecticut where the temps have dropped, 44F at the moment. My car is parked outside. Tonight I went to a new to me EA station in Stamford Connecticut. I preconditioned and was at 13% SOC upon arrival. Great charging session. Peaked at 256kW and was still at 160kw at 68%...
Oops, the trip was from Georgia to Connecticut (corrected). BTW, anyone who lives in the Atlanta area knows that sitting in Atlanta traffic could be the same amount of time as driving to Connecticut :)
