Standard Porsche home wall charger. 3 phase power. Charger set to 16A. Turning it up to 32A doesn’t change the actual charging rate at the car. Its stays at 10.5 kW. Interestingly my wife’s new Model Y 2026 LR charges slightly faster off the same exact Porsche charger at 11kW.

You’re correct, just got the car back (no damage from the towing thank goodness ) from the dealer now. In the end they simply disconnected the 12v battery to reset it then the update restarted and completed and the car is fine again! I asked why the update stated automatically without my...

I tried that but it didn’t help

Yes I’m aware of that but as I stated the car did NOT start the update when I first asked it to. It clearly told me it could not start the update and that I should try again later. I was going to park the car later as it told me and then manually start the update and let it do its thing so...

I agree but my problem was that I the car started the update without informing me after telling me that I could try again later. That’s the only reason I drove off in it. That’s what caught me out. Yes I thought there must be a way to manually treat it but the dealer was very adamant that I it...

o_O The update auto started after I started driving and then crashed that was the issue. Once stalled the car is immobilised. What exactly should I have done? I did not start the update and then drive off. It started it by itself without alerting me. Sorry but I thought that was explained clearly.

Has anyone heard anything about this issue? 8am: I had a pop up this morning on the PCM screen when I jumped in the car saying there was a new software over the air update available and did I want to download it. I clicked yes but then it said 'Update unavailable during charging please try...

What exactly is a stealth wrap? Is that easily removed later on if you want to sell it? Its quite a unique look.

I’ve had 3 Cayennes, a 911 Carrera S, a GT3 , and now Taycan. The Cayennes without a doubt were the best family cars I’ve ever owned. Porsche SUVs have proven themselves over the years and are a great standalone product.

Looks great. Does it void the cars warranty though?

Not a fan sorry. A bit rough

I think it depends entirely what market and what city they are looking at. My sons elementary school alone has at least 10 different Taycans that I've spotted, with around 4 of them being added since the start of the school year here (Feb).

Really? Compared to the sports mode I think it is quite noticeable if you accelerate hard in normal mode.

Sounds like you were in normal mode and the downshift in gears when you accelerate hard. It wont happen in Sport or Sportplus mode. I tend to stay in Sports mode almost all of the time unless the road is really bumpy, when you forget and leave it in normal that downshift jolt is not pleasant.

Public charging here is ok but definitely not keeping pace with the amount of new EVs on the roads. So many TESLAs on the Gold Coast. If I had to mainly rely on the public charging I wouldn’t have jumped to electric yet. Sports sound is both internal and external. People will hear it. Anyway...

Im on the Gold Coast, I was a bit worried about summer here and the pano roof but its been amazing! I get far more heat coming in through the side windows. They have worked some magic with the roof. It really opens up the car interior and makes the back seem far more spacious, definitely add it...

Im not sure if this is a Porsche Australia only thing but we just got this. Kind of silly but fun. Taycan Arcade Taycan Arcade | Can you beat me? Got a personal best on Porsche Taycan Arcade

Bugger Android only , I think most of us have iPhones Thanks though

Thats politics for you. I guess we have so many other natural dangers here that EVs rank low on the list ;-)

Not in Australia, so the external sports sound is a very useful option here.
