    What's with all the Notifications

    This has been a constant annoyance for months on my 2023 GTS as well! Like others on this post, I tried swiping left to delete them (sometimes 12-15 of them), only to have them reappear a few days later. Finally, when I arrived home one day with 15 more of the same update or tip notifications...

    Porsche Taycan Turbo S is Road & Track's Over-$100,000 2024 Performance EV of the Year

    Funny you mention Green River, UT. Two years ago, on a very carefully planned road trip in my Taycan Turbo between San Diego and Boulder, that was one of my critical charging stops on the way up to Grand Junction, CO (the next charging stop). Low and behold, none of the brand new EA chargers...

    Taycan GTS - Gentian Blue or Carmine Red?

    I beg to differ. Carmine Red is such a natural for any GTS and the shape and proportions of the Taycan are enhanced with the high contrast between the Carmine paint and the black accents.

    BOSE Delays

    One more thing I noticed in this Bose saga is that in prior year Taycan models, the Bose option had the following description: BOSE® Surround Sound System with 14 speakers including subwoofer and a total output of 710 watts. But if you are in the configurator right now for a 2023 build and it...

    Regen Issues when Cold

    Thanks! I hadn’t looked for it in there simply because I never noticed this occurring before about a month ago and this is my 3rd Taycan. So I assumed it was a recent OTA.

    Regen Issues when Cold

    I live in a warm climate and I also don't charge to greater than 85% most times. But regardless of temperature or SOC, the first few times I apply the brakes at the first drive of the day, I get no regen from braking. However, I turned on the regen during coasting using the button on the...

    Infrastructure Bill passed. I don’t think this is good.

    Those MSRP limits are not in the current EV tax credit legislation, but are listed as possible limitations in the proposed BBB legislation. But it is anyone's guess if BBB even gets passed or what details will survive. Here is a summary of what is currently proposed: The Build Back Better Act...

    Infrastructure Bill passed. I don’t think this is good.

    There are no changes to the current EV tax credit in the new infrastructure bill that was passed by both houses and will be signed into law by Biden. Any of the changes being contemplated in this forum thread are all now pushed to the Build Back Better proposed legislation, which is certainly...

    Locked myself in on the back seat

    Porsche leaves the rear child lock setting activated by default in new Taycans. Not sure why. Anyway, once you free yourself from the front door, just deactivate child lock with one of the buttons near the mirror and window controls in the drivers seat.

    Locked myself in on the back seat

    I did the same thing myself when I first got my Taycan when I was just trying to see how much room a rear seat passenger would get. It wasn’t easy to weave my 5’11” frame through the center between the front seats to extricate myself, but I laughed hysterically when I discovered what had...

    Taycan software update - reported problems post update

    Same for me. I got an update to my 2021 Taycan Turbo which took one day at the dealership. A day after I picked it up, I got the same updates OTA shown in the pictures above. It all is working great!

    How trustworthy is Porsche Innodrive with ALK?

    I drove to Bend, Oregon and back to San Diego last year in my Taycan Turbo with only the ACC function in Innodrive turned on. For long stretches of crowded Interstate, it worked flawlessly. You can set the distance you want to maintain from the vehicle in front and it does that well. It...

    FROZEN BLUE Taycan Club

    I think this color and Chalk are two of the best colors Porsche has made and really work beautifully on the Taycan for all the reasons mentioned, especially the contrast with the black accents. We have 2 Taycans in our garage - a Frozen Blue and a Chalk.

    Rear Axle Steering

    I just took delivery of my 2nd Taycan Turbo, a 2021 with rear axle steering and PDCC (Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control). My first Taycan (a 2020 that I traded with 11,500 miles on it) did not have the real axle steering, nor the PDCC. Being able to compare the two cars back-to-back, I can...

    Dealer says no wireless CarPlay for 2021 Taycan?

    I picked up my 2021 Taycan Turbo Wednesday. Apple CarPlay worked just fine wirelessly.

    Taycan vs 911 (Which to buy)

    I have had a Taycan Turbo since last March and have driven it to/from San Diego to Bend Oregon and San Diego to Boulder, CO. Out west the EA Level 3 network is pretty good on I-5, I-15 and I-70, which is all the highways I used. I averaged 80 MPH and regularly got 250 miles per full charge...

    Moving from a 911 to a Taycan?

    I have owned 6 911's over the years, most recently a 991.2 Turbo S Cab. I moved to a Taycan Turbo last year and have been so exceptionally pleased, that I don't think I could ever go back to any ICE car, including a 911. Having said that, I did think I was missing the noise and the smaller...

    Dealer says no wireless CarPlay for 2021 Taycan?

    All Taycans will stream music from your iphone through the wireless bluetooth connection, but that isn't the same thing as wireless CarPlay, which entails many more features and apps from the iphone, such as maps, texts, and many more showing up on the PCM screen.
