    Update on Charge Door sticking + Console Fan Noise + PCM Rebooting plus ext. warranty

    Thought I'd share the fixes for rel. minor issues that I know others here have or are experiencing. A while back I reported as others have of a fan whirring/tapping noise from the central console - was clearly coming from the vent beneath the console unit and an internal cooling fan for that...

    Decals on my modded license plate area

    Some may be familiar with my obsession in removing that OEM 'monkey butt' rear plate holder and super happy with the modded (plastic welding) and satin black painted grey plastic but the spaces where a typical Euro plate would fill were bugging me too :) Main mods thread...

    An Alternate or Backup to Homelink for multi-gate/door opening

    First up - My Homelink connection has worked fairly consistently (although at times intermittently) since first setup up in the car end Dec 2021 when the car was delivered. I have it so that it opens both my driveway gate and my overhead garage door simultaneously with one click. If I only...

    Charge Range and Efficiency - One year's data

    There are separate threads with these data posted but I thought after reading some member's comments and concerns about 'calculated' ranges vs actual consumptive ranges, that it might be useful to share the data I have on my car to date, essentially one year of recorded data. How you use your...

    Is there a Porsche Server issue ongoing Feb 8 2023? Apple/Spotify/OnlineRadio not connecting

    Noticed yesterday evening heading out to eat that Apple Music & Podcasts, Spotify and Online Radio access were all greyed out and unreachable. Tested access to Apple Music with my iPhone instead of the PCM app via CarPlay and no prob whatsoever so not an Apple Server issue per se but more...

    New Feature - Taycan sees through walls!

    Was mucking about with the car after returning from a 3 week stint abroad (ignore my tire pressures - high for storage!), but whilst playing with the Nightvision I had it on in my driveway and lo and behold found all the studs in my rear garage wall :)!! Awesome new feature - had the wife stand...

    Houston EVgo Expansion

    For fellow Houstonians - just got this posted to me re new charging stations in Houston - typically EVgo in our area are 50kW type charging destinations and of no use to me personally but these new units consist of a 2-in-1 full 350kW and 2 separate 100kW chargers - good to see more units being...

    EA Charging session not updating in App nor online

    Minor thing but curious if anyone else seeing this. I did a 15 min PnC charging session at League City EA south of Houston here in TX last Saturday (Oct 1) and nothing has shown up in the MyPorsche App nor on the web site online - that is a first - could be some sort of internal lag/delay on...

    PMC+ Not Throttled and Works post uPdate

    This post is SPECIFIC to the PMC+ - the PMCC is sufficiently different and more failure prone that, TBH, I would simply not use it. Proviso: If you PMC+ is massively overheating simply do not use it and either determine if an infrastructure issue (bad house wiring, Nema 14-50 install) and/or...

    Replaced road damaged plastic on underside of CT

    Well true to my recent 'whining' about Houston road quality I had to replace a plastic cover piece on the underside of the car due to damage caused by hitting one of the hundreds of debris/road hump hazards on my local roads - was really just a matter of time imo! Amazingly I found this...
