    Audi Concept C EV revealed - thoughts?

    Isn’t this based on the platform Porsche was (still is?) to use for the Cayman? I think it’s attractive.

    Favorite Color

    I have a J.1 II (Taycan “facelift”) in Porsche’s Dolomite Silver Metallic and I really like it.

    CT4S - Active Ride

    I have it on my 4S and absolutely agree. I have searched in vain for a video that shows the car (from the front or rear) leaning into a series of curves.

    Cup holder silicone insert

    Having missed the opportunity to specify the “smoking kit” in my build and not wanting to spend the money to get the Porsche kit later, for a few dollars at a U.S. auto parts store i got this after market ashtray with a lid, which I don’t use for cigarette ashes but rather to hold change. It...

    Explain to me what Torque-Vectoring is….

    Having had rear-axle steering on my 2021 4S, I wouldn’t want my on-order 2025 4S not to have it. I bit the bullet and also opted for Porsche Active Ride, which requires one also to opt for PTV+ (I don’t know why). Anyway, it should be challenging (and fun I hope) to sort out the contributions of...

    Where do I set Home charge to 85%

    It’s easy to change the charge percentage using the My Porsche app. On the Home Screen touch the > at the right of the percentage | range row, then touch the Profiles tab at the top of the next page, then touch the percentage, then a slider appears, which you can use to set the charge.

    Your Input Please: Interior Options Under Consideration

    Don’t forget to spec the $0 smoking kit (under interior comfort), not for smoking in the car, but to give you a covered cup for spare change in one of the cupholder spots

    Ice grey or Dolomite?

    We chose ice Grey Metallic with the Black / Bordeaux Red interior for our 2021 4S and like it very much. It’s true that the Dolomite has a bit of blue in certain lights; we didn’t care for that though others might like it. The metallic in the Ice Grey gives the car different appearances in...

    MY25 CT Turbo S ordered

    Add the Smoker Package (under Comfort and everyday usability), NOT to smoke in your Taycan but to give you a handy cup with a lid to put stuff in (loose change, small bottle of hand sanitizer). It’s a zero-cost option. I forgot to choose it, and it would be handy. If I order a new Taycan, I will...

    MyPorsche app and website showing wrong rear windows status.

    I used to have the problem frequently, and maybe it’s a coincidence but with the latest MyPorsche app update the problem has not reoccurred.

    Charging to 100%, why not?

    All interesting, thank you. I almost always learn a new detail or two in threads on charging. Recurrentauto.com collects information from a variety of EVs. You can add your own Taycan and get monthly reports on it, for free. For example, here are a couple of charts from my 2021 4S’s latest...

    Buy-out Lease or Turn-in - 2020 Porsche Taycan 4S

    I’m in exactly this situation with a 2021 4S with only 16.5k miles, which I love and which has been essentially trouble-free with only a couple of minor issues that were fixed. The question and replies here have been very helpful, thank you!

    Cutaway of Taycan rear motor at Porsche Museum

    Thank you for your excellent photos under less than ideal conditions! Here are translations of some of the labels. I am not an engineer so an engineer could give more idiomatic translations and explanations: Stator. Rotor. Resolver, to measure angles of rotation. Leistungselektronik, power...

    100% charge how long can you leave it

    Before a long trip I charge to 95%, but I’m sure 100% is fine. For what it’s worth, recurrentauto.com now can track individual Taycans and give the owner a monthly report. I signed up and it’s interesting. Their general advice for charging is to keep the battery charge no lower than 30% and no...

    Dear gcrich1216, Did you get this problem resolved, and if so how, please? I keep getting these same errors, and the problem was not fixed the first time I took it in for service. Thank you.
