Worst cars are Monday cars. 😂 The Germans calls them just that "Montagswagen"

Yes. I don't blindly trust what the pcm says. I had a situation when I was returning from Gibraltar where the designated charger in Seville had been offline for months yet the pcm directed me to it. Another situation is common sense. Between the Algarve and Lisbon (from south to north) the...

This morning I stopped by a Lidl supermarket to buy some groceries. A guy approached me as I left the car and asked "Is it electric?" to which I answered "100%" He then said "Fantastic car man. Congratulations" Not everyone is anti EV. Really appreciated the guy's sincerity.

No. Just that particular error. It used to happen during our heat waves. I was attentive because of my dashcam since some reports floated around that it would shut down in extreme heat. Anecdotally it was the collision warning system that shut down, not the dashcam. As soon as AC was on, the...

"Emergency Stop function not available (Temporary condition, Continued driving possible)" I sometimes get that when I enter the car that is parked in the sun. I assume that since those systems rely on the inbuilt camera and since cameras tend to shut down in extreme temperatures, it happens...

GMP Italia Titan 21'' Portugal isn't that big 😂 I usually stopped every 300km or so. The Taycan planner is pretty accurate tbh. Remember that when you define minimum charge in soc at arrival it will also dictate how "bold" the calculations are to reach a charging stop. If you tell the...

I feel you. Since July it has been a furnace. Here. I travelled several days under an abrasive 44C temperature. This was also the first times I've seen the battery being 9C cooler then ambient surroundings so the A/C is definitely being used on the battery. I guess it's when the car is parked...

3) 8760km 4) 92.71% At this rate, I'll be at 80% next year 🤣

I actually have the opposite experience 🤣 Joking aside I mean that native Spotify will sometimes stop out during a trip (cell coverage? - not likely. It's too often) and switch to AA. I have to keep manually switching it back from AA back to Native like every 5 min sometimes. Lately I just...

The thing is... your freedom ends where the next one's start... freedom to drive long interrupted distances ends when the other's freedom to arrive home without being ran over by a semi sleeping or worn out driver starts.

I recently learned there are people baking defunct Telsa model S serial numbers into new model 3 cars to have them on the "lifetime" free charge. I very much doubt Porsche software division is a match to Tesla's (its a software company that happens to make transport things after all ) and if...

Indeed and downtown of my city. Construction needs to maximize profit so they skip on garages altogether. Being close to the sea doesn't help either as they are shy of digging too deep and deal with the complications. It's just so convenient having all utilities and schools for the kids in...

157m from my apartment 😁

Different locations, different scenarios. It would be rude here to leave the car hogging up one of their pumps not fueling up. Sometimes even when you just go inside to pay is not acceptable around here. But the real question here is... ... Did you wash your hands?😂 9m30s is quick though. I...

I want to say so many things after reading this thread 🤣 1. I'm a first time Porsche owner. I've never considered buying a Porsche before the Taycan simply because of daily running costs. I had a Z3 when I was a youngster and let me tell you what a real gessometer is. I would top off the tank...

You sir, love watching the world burn 🤣 That being said, I agree. Never say never. A couple of days ago, I saw a Tesla 3 Dual Motor at a supercharger at night. Foreign license plate (eastern) What felt odd was that the car was using an adapter to charge. As far as I know, all teslas in...

Scuffed one of my rims. Then the second and then the third. I actually pay attention to how I park but after 8k km, it's inevitable if one does shorts errands around a town and parks 4,5,10 times a day not mentioning narrow roadways etc. I haven't found a service here in South Portugal that...

I somewhat knew that eventually I would find all sorts of weird issues with the charging network but until now, I've only dealt with broken chargers, chargers that reset themselves or chargers that are offline or with a broken rfid reader. Nothing specific to the Taycan... Until today. I'll...

Nah, I think it's a security issue. Instead of assuming everything is ok while the app waits for the car's response (or better app → porsche server → car → porsche server → app), it assumes everything is wrong until confirmation. That's why it "assumes" windows are down or car is unlocked when...

I think I already posted my experience somewhere here on the forum with several porsche dealers in Portugal. Anyway, to sum it up - porsche can't charge legally for electricy in this country which means that any charge you get from a Porsche dealer is "courtesy" aka "free" - that being said...
