  1. Recurring problems with the OTA updates

    Thanks for the tip! For me the message never grayed out, it just toggled between high-lighted and not high-lightened when I selected it, and I also went into the AC menu and turned AC off before, but the procedure still behaved as described above, I'm afraid...
  2. Recurring problems with the OTA updates

    I've had problems with every OTA update I've done (I've gone through around four now), and I wonder if there is anyone else who has experienced similar problems? Right now I'm having trouble with the WTD4 OTA update: I received an update message in the PCM while driving a couple of weeks ago...
  3. EV throttle response

    I fully agree with this description—I'm fine with a somewhat "sluggish" response at the lower end of gas pedal pressure, and then instantaneous response at the higher end of gas pedal pressure, but there is no middle ground where it is responsive around the middle; it just goes from low-end...
  4. OTA update and volume display

    I also got the WTD4 OTA notice in my display a short while ago, but I didn't do the update immediately as I planned to do it in a couple of days, but now it's completely gone from my display... Has anyone else experienced an OTA update being displayed but then removed? Did it come back again...
  5. My 2026 GTS finally arrived. Small MODS

    Very nice! I would have added black painted brake callipers though (I still get slightly irritated over the red brake callipers on my black car... :)). Also, it looks like you didn't add tinted windows, and I think the car looks so much better without the rear tinted windows (fortunately one can...
  6. Impressions between a j1.1 GTS and j1.2 4S

    If any of you guys want *really* harsh, try the Audi RS6 Avant C7 with DRC (Dynamic Ride Control, replacing the standard air suspension) set to Sport mode... 😂
  7. EV throttle response

    I completely agree with this assessment! I have a 2023 GTS Sport Turismo with the MAPEV tune, and although of course now vastly improved over original, I too still lack the responsiveness when pressing the accelerator fast but only partly. In order for the car to be significantly more...
  8. "Porsche Reflects On Its First Electric Car: 'Timing Wasn't Ideal'" - article

    All great points; I would only add the benefit of the driving experience—with the low center of gravity, explosive acceleration, positive steering feedback and breaking, the Taycan also perform quite well on the track (even for track experienced ICE drivers :–). The single greatest disadvantage...
  9. "Porsche Reflects On Its First Electric Car: 'Timing Wasn't Ideal'" - article

    I have a 2023 GTS ST (with a MAPEV tune :–). Not only is it my first ever EV, it's actually hands down the best car I've ever had (it replaced my previous 2021 Cayman GTS 4.0 PDK with an APR tune, and I also still have my old 2014 RS6 Avant, also with an APR tune, and I've had >30 cars, mostly...
  10. 19.2Kwh downgrade to 11Kwh

    Interesting thread, recommended reading for those concerned! With the deal you got, I would have done exactly the same (90% refund of actual purchase price after almost two years of ownership) — but then immediately ordered a new Taycan GTS again :-).
  11. 19.2Kwh downgrade to 11Kwh

    Thanks for your input. From what I have read about HVB charging, there is still a small gain to be made (in terms of prolonged battery life) by charging slower rather than faster, even though modern battery management technology has evolved to the point where the difference is no longer as big...
  12. 19.2Kwh downgrade to 11Kwh

    My OBC broke a while ago as well, and I was told by my dealer that Porsche no longer offers the 22kW chargers, as there are too many issues with the only model available, so they downgrade to the 11kW charger instead, and then refunds the original cost (in my case I received SEK 17,400 (appr...
  13. Taycan production shutdown

    I replaced my 2021 Cayman GTS 4.0 PDK with a 2023 Taycan GTS Sport Turismo and don’t regret it one bit. As I’m writing this, I’m actually at the track with it and am having great fun! :-)
  14. Part 3: The Quest for the Perfect Tune

    I'd go for this solution as well — I have already made a switch once for a service visit, and since I don't do it myself (I visit a local shop for help), it takes both time and costs money every time I need to leave the car at the PC for service/upgrades/repair.
  15. Looking for advice. Can I go on vacation with fried OBC?

    This happened to me too a while back — I suddenly discovered that my Charge Amps Dawn wall box "crashed" (blew the fuse) whenever I connected the HVB charging cable. I tried DC charging at my local Tesla station, and that worked just fine, but AC charging didn't work at my local Porsche Center...
  16. Οn board charger failure

    My 11kW OBC died a while back, but it took me a couple of days to notice as I don't drive the car daily. I discovered that my Charge Amps Dawn charger box had shut down, and it turns out the circuit just cuts every time I plug the charge cable into the car... I tried the 270kW OBC at a Tesla...
  17. Porsche mulling Panamera and Taycan Merger

    I think Porsche needs to rework their model lineup nomenclature, personally preferably as follows: 1) PPE ("EM" = Electric Motor; "Motor" as the ICE designation uses "Engine") – Macan EM (5-d only) – Cayenne EM (5-d only) – Taycan EM (Coupé*, Sedan and Turismo) *I think the Taycan should also...
  18. Recommendations for Porsche 20" winter rim to best match the 21" RS Spyder summer rim?

    I did -- I forgot about this thread though :-) and posted a picture in this other thread: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/painted-21-rs-spyder-wheels.31741/post-487805
  19. WST2 OTA update

    I'm in Sweden and I got the message yesterday. I tried do install but failed—my HV battery was initially at 83% and the installation process froze, and then automatically rebooted; when I got the message next time, my battery was then at 80% and the install button was grey... I've now charged to...
  20. Painted 21" RS Spyder wheels

    ...and here are my new winter wheels as well: Porsche Tequipment 20", also custom repainted in Satin Platinum (Porsche color code OB5) with Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 SUV tyres (I think the indoor lighting makes them look a bit brighter than they do outside):
