I'm obsessed with watches. Mostly new ones, but some vintage. I'm the head of Houston's RedBar watch collectors group, and my IG is @watchesandburgers, where I post about watches and burgers. So yeah, that's what I do when I'm not posting about Porsches. :)
A friend of mine created a new app for watch lovers called Wristy. Available in the Apple Apple App Store, it is a simple social app where you can post wrist shots of your watches. Think of it like Instagram used to be - fresh and fun, we're all you see are watch pictures. Check it out! Apple...
I had the same problem and posted about it here. The fix, for me, was to open the My Porsche app on my phone, scroll down and touch Apple Maps EV Routing, toggle the "Share my vehicle data" slider off and back on again. That seemed to fix the issue for a little while.
OG Tesla Model S owner here. Mine was a 2013 Model S with the 60 KWh battery pack, so I speak from experience. In 2013, the car was nothing short of revolutionary. The large central touchscreen, configurable gauge cluster, central-computer-controlled vehicle with over the air updates were...
I cancelled (did not renew) my Porsche Connect Services last year and posted about it here. In general, it's fine for me, as I use Apple CarPlay 100% of the time. I've noted lately that I get the error message "Apple Maps is having trouble connecting to your vehicle. Battery percentage may not...
One of the tricky things I dealt with was the wifi connection from the car, which is used for CarPlay. I only connect to the 5 GHz wifi network and do not have the 2.4 GHz on my phone at all. In fact, I think I turned it off in the car (I don't 100% remember). But yeah, try that. Good luck.
@SergeyIndy - I got the Porsche NACS adapter and tried it out at my nearest Supercharger. I used the Tesla app to start charging at station 2A (or 3B or whatever it was), plugged the cord into the adapter, then adapter into the car. Worked great. Not sure if plug-and-charge is supposed to work...
I find the center console wireless phone charger useless. The phone has to be in exactly the right place, and even then it never reliably worked for me. Forget trying to use it with a phone case. Needless to say, I turned it off in the PCM. Today, I found a new use for the holder/clip in the...
What are the group's thoughts on extended warranties? My 2022 Taycan's factory warranty is up in Q3 of this year. In my 2+ years of ownership I've had what I can only describe as a relatively normal reliability experience. Door handle issues (replaced one), a charge door that wouldn't open...
