Excellent advice! One of our local salesmen commented he gets sick in the rear seat with people test-driving Taycans - the customers do not realize how much they are accelerating and jabbing the throttle. I personally use Sport suspension, lowest level, and auto regen and light accelerating...

Our 2020 Turbo S Free Charging stops at the end of this month. A call to Porsche North America uncovered today's situation (2023-08-14): The Charging Plan is separate from the Taycan Connect Plan. Plug and Charge continues to work at Electrify America (EA) with a new plan. The Porsche / EA...

Not really. Our goal had nothing to do with fast charging at home. There were three reasons for us: A novice could charge the car without a phone. Cell phone reception has been poor at many chargers we visit while on Porsche club outings. Curbside chargers that use 100A service are starting to...

Had to walk the local Porsche dealer through the process. They were unaware of the kit and the first quote was for $9,500 because they quoted all the pieces separately. They charged $5,000 when aware of the kit. They did a beautiful job, including making the hood fit better than the factory...

Thank you, Dave. Further investigation made your observation clearly correct. The old cables from the DC input have very obvious high voltage connectors at the end that do not match any connection on the AC charger. The 22 kW charger 800V output connector is much smaller and rectangular, not...

Upgraded our 2020 Taycan Turbo S with the 22 kW upgrade kit two weeks ago. We solved two issues - no chance of my wife driving the Taycan without it and poor cell phone reception in many Porsche club routes made charging often impossible with the My Porsch application. Our original charger...

Have it. Love it - fingerprints are tolerable. Just make sure it is installed correctly - they have film on both sides and no blue film remains.

100 miles between charging (on average for this experiment) is not great. Having trouble with that being more efficient than 150-200 miles between charges. Much prefer arriving at a hotel near empty and charging at night.

Yes, you should. it is a hoot! Tried it this week during a Porsche club 125-mile route. It slows down to track the car in front of you when they slow down for curves. Gets a little too close to avoid stone chips, but definitely puts the car in a race mode. Auto regen is also easy on the...

Our 2020 TS locks the Auto Regen in the Individual mode. We get all our favorites by turning to Individual immediately.

Roads are damaged by weight - a fair tax would be by weight and miles driven, regardless of propulsion.

A GTS and TURBO with 21" wheels, and the same performance options, will have remarkably similar handling and performance. However, with standard tires, differences are affected by the very wide GTS tires (compared to the 4S and even the Turbo). Taycan Tires STANDARD 21" WHEELS (all...

FWIW, I have had zero issues with PMCC and now PMC+ on two Taycan over 1.5 years now. I attribute it to the fact that I have a 6-50 plug, and not 14-50 which likely runs hotter. After two years, our PMCC has been flawless (except for minor operator error when new ;)). It never gets hot and has...

Wife ended up in emergency the day before our flight to Atlanta. Atlanta PEC graciously trucked our Porsche to Oregon.

Have not logged in for some time, but this has happened once on our 2020 Taycan TS and it is worth describing the resolution, especially if you are a long way from a Porsche dealer. After moving the Taycan three times in a parking lot (from a touchless car wash), the electrical failure message...

Thank you for catching my error!

That is what I would expect, but something is getting warm and air is moving in a 50F garage. Edit: Changed 50C to 50F!

Also, when you pre-heat the interior, warm air exhausts out the right front wheel well.

I think your method is fine, especially if you drive it every day. We plug-in when arriving home if below 50% and charge to 90% (100% if we expect to leave the next morning for longer trips). Charging at home is like trickle charging compared to high-powered DC charging and I remain convinced...

Normally, a 60 amp circuit would be directly wired to your charger - no receptacle or plug. Six gauge wire supports 60 amps, but on a dedicated circuit a 50 amp receptacle does not. Strongly consider staying with a 50 amp breaker. If your existing breaker gets too hot to touch, consider a...
