    CarPlay reporting wildly inaccurate battery level

    Has something changed in the Apple integration with Porsche? For the last couple of weeks, I've noticed that Apple Maps is reporting very inaccurate estimates of the state of chargen for any destination I'm headed to. It was previously reporting identical estimates as the PCM nav. I haven't...

    My rear bumper has to come off: Anything I should do while it's out?

    Nope, sorry. This was handled by a professional body shop! But they did tell me that Taycans are one of the more complicated rear bumpers for removal. I wouldn't attempt this by yourself without someone with direct knowledge to guide you.

    Received a surprise Welcome Kit in the Mail

    I got my CPO at the end of March. I'd love to be surprised by this!

    Changing drive modes without Sport Chrono

    I don't have that feature and also don't have Sport Chrono. The presence of that Sport button kinda deprioritized my need for SC. I didn't realize that the presence of that button wasn't a common feature across all cars!

    Looking for input on range - Confused

    Like the OP, I'm also in the 80% charge camp. Mine is also a recently acquired 21 4S with PBP and my car always reports 166 miles of range when I charge to 80%, give or take a few miles. I've always assumed that this is normal because I live on top of a big hill in San Francisco and most of my...

    Changing drive modes without Sport Chrono

    It's just one tap. There's a Sport setting on the bottom left of the center console screen. Don't know if it's a configurable shortcut—mine came with it already that way. You press the same "button" to return to Normal mode.

    Charging cost shown in the app

    I might have encountered the same as you, except I didn't have any issues with Plug & Charge. I charged last night and the EA screen displayed the price. I thought those screens used to display $0.00 but it's been a couple of weeks since I charged at EA (always same station), so maybe I'm just...

    Is there any Taycan morning drive event in Bay Area CA?

    Nice shot! I'll keep an eye out for your car—I don't think I've seen one with your color lately.

    How far back in year model is recommended for theese requirements

    I don't think rear wheel steering is a limitation to 2023 and later. I went through a search for a Taycan 4S recently and was mainly looking at 2022 and 2021 cars. While rear wheel steering wasn't a priority for me—it's a nice-to-have—I did see U.S. market cars with that option. I believe it...

    Location! Location! Location! Post Artistic Photos of Your Taycan with Scenery

    I suppose that would actually be quite a good use of AI, since you can’t—not practically anyway, or without permits—get a car to that spot!

    Location! Location! Location! Post Artistic Photos of Your Taycan with Scenery

    I can’t know why it looks AI-generated to you…does that mean these look too good or too bad? ? I’m a photography enthusiast and none were shot on iPhone (or any smartphone), which is often the look most people are used to. I have a camera and lenses—I used a combo of 50mm and 24mm focal...

    Count me in as generally interested in checking this out.

    Is there any Taycan morning drive event in Bay Area CA?

    Thanks! I’ve had the same thought as well, but haven’t had the time to do it due to work. Hoping to get out there sometime in May.

    My rear bumper has to come off: Anything I should do while it's out?

    So...after about 4 pleasant weeks with my CPO Taycan 4S, some asshole scraped up against my car in a supermarket parking lot. In the grand scheme of things, it's a minor bit of cosmetic damage, amounting to a scrape (unfortunately, down to the plastic) and a hairline crack. But the bumper is...

    Location! Location! Location! Post Artistic Photos of Your Taycan with Scenery

    Thanks! Just posted in that thread. I'm in the city and can't quite figure out if Taycans are terribly popular in here or not. There's another 4S in the building I live in, so I got used to seeing it on a daily basis. But in the last few weeks since I've owned mine, I haven't really noticed many...

    Is there any Taycan morning drive event in Bay Area CA?

    Hi all, just saying hi as a new member in San Francisco. I'm a longtime BMW guy with a penchant for stick shift cars (yes, even with our hills). Went EV a few years ago with a Tesla Model 3 Performance and count myself fortunate to escape Elon's Apocalypse. Best part is that I was able to make...

    Front license plate?

    I’ve run without a front plate for 20 years in San Francisco. The only time you’re going to be ticketed is when you’re parked on the street—meter maids are the ones to watch out for. I’ve always used a front plate mount that can be easily attached and removed for that purpose. If you get a...

    Porsche Charging Service - on Used Car

    Your guess #2 might have solved a minor mystery for me. I bought my 4S just 3 weeks ago. It's a CPO with a September 2021 in-service date. The 3 year benefit should have expired in September 2024 but I still have free charging at EA until September 2025. My sales advisor was surprised this is...

    Which car gets more attention between Taycan and 911?

    Yes, while Porsche prices seem to be a bit higher where you are (isn't just about everything in Switzerland??), I totally agree that most people—myself included—can't imagine spending $200,000 on a car. That said, the point I was trying to make is that people tend to ignore the possibility that...
