To answer the OP original question, "I have had my Taycan for a few weeks, and notice that the brakes feel a little spongy." My brakes were spongy after a recall where the front brake hoses were replaced. My guess is that air was somehow introduced during the procedure. A second visit to...

A PIWIS 3 for only $75 - Rennlist - Porsche Discussion Forums

Nothing to wait for CAGCTG, the Taycan is a fabulous car and deserves to be enjoyed now, there will always be worthwhile innovations in the pipeline. I have a well sorted 1200 + BHP Nissan R35 GTR, the Taycan beats it in every way except outright pace that can only be safely achieved on a...

You need PIWIS or another advanced system to activate the ABS if there is air in that. Pressure bleeding is so much simpler than pumping the brakes, makes an excellent job and only requires one person. These systems are not expensive and are well worth the money IMHO.

The latest breakthrough in EV battery technology is called Silicon Anode. If you had this technology in your Taycan, it would double the range. The weight per kWh is 1.9 kg to 2.8 kg per kWh, roughly 2/3rds the weight of current battery technology, so EV's are going to get a whole lot more...

If you have direct charging selected, it will charge to 100%. Timers and profiles work when DC is off on my J1.1

I love mine without. Might be worth you gettting yourself a track car if you miss the gear changes

It will be worth checking if the heater requires component protection to be removed for the heater to work?

I have PCCB's on another non-Porsche car, never hear a noise from them. I have Titanium shims behind the pads and also copaslip grease behind the pads, both of these are anti-squeal measures.

My tariff is called Intelligent Octopus Go 12M Fixed. It expires in August, but I think it rolled over from last year. When I joined, I had to take the standard tariff, then ask to be switched to the EV tariff.

I am with Octopus, you can tell them you have any charger you like if you are using their app and then have them control the car. I just use the Porsche app timer to charge no more than 43% and finish charging by 5:30 am. Off peak rate is 3.53p/kWh

I don’t dispute that Porsche’s tariff exists — the issue is that it wasn’t prominent or foreseeable. I signed up for Porsche Charging Service over a year ago and, like most people, I didn’t memorise every line of the T&Cs. When I arrived at the BP Pulse charger, I did what any reasonable person...

Last month I parked overnight in the Hilton Hotel car park at Finneston in Glasgow. Since there was no rush to depart, I connected to the BP Pulse 7Kw/hr charger to charge overnight, being careful to check that blocking charges would not be applied. I don't normally look at the charging...

I find it generally takes several attempts to fully connect and read the battery status. I sit the laptop in the centre console so that I do not nudge it. I have also found that it will read the battery when the car is powered up. Just be patient is my advice.

Was struggling to get the tCan to connect to the car - I have a VPN, once that was turned off everything worked as usual. This is a late 2020 J1.1 has 18000 miles with one cell replaced (only green cell below) in a battery recall campaign last year. Was on a longer journey today and decided to...

What is PIRM?

I have a J1.1 and do not use profiles. The timer is perfect to match the charging to the cheap rate electricity through the night. I have Octopus with 6 hours of almost free charging overnight. I set the charge to increase by no more than 45% and finish by 5:30am. This costs no more than a...

You possibly also had a profile set to charge to 100%, so check your profiles since they may have priority over the timer. Other thing to check is direct charging is not set to on, but since you said the charge stopped at 25%, it suggests direct charging was set to off.

On my J1.1, I wanted to stiffen the shocks automatically when the suspension is set high for driving over speedbumps at below 20MPH. Setting the suspension to automatically increase height works perfectly, unfortunately I did not find any way to add shock stiffness to the same setting. :(

Yup, I agree NYLaw. You can see a list of chargers that are supported in the Octopus app, so if you are renewing, that is definitely a good approach.
