  1. Car won't start, dead 12v battery. Jump or service for new battery?

    Here's a followup... Service told me that the 12v battery is failing the battery test because it won't take a full charge. And because I don't meet the warranty requirement of 6500 mi/yr, I need to pay for the battery. I've had the car for 2 1/2 yrs, and 12,111 miles, so I'm under that...
  2. Car won't start, dead 12v battery. Jump or service for new battery?

    Due to the CA storms and holidays, etc. the car sat in the garage for a longer duration than normal. So the car is completely dead, and I'm assuming its the 12v. Question is does this indicate it's a defective 12v battery, or is it normal for this car if it wasn't turned on for more than 5...
  3. Offered an extended warranty

    What type of coverage do you get on the battery? That is the most important question for an EV.
  4. "Clunk" in rear drive when slow roll reaccellerating

    I get a kind of "clunk" also, but I get it right after I roll out of park into drive without pressing on the accelerator. Usually two "clunks", then its gone. I'd like to know if this is common also?
  5. To service/update or not to service/update?

    I had an AC fix early on, and since then, the car has been relatively smooth sailing. However, my Taycan is listed for the airbag AMC1 recall and the power AMB5 recall. Everytime I call service, they say it could take weeks. I've been waiting for them to figure out these recalls so that...
  6. Sources: "Porsche recalls nearly 12,000 Taycan in the USA"

    I was referring to the specific example of the hazard light, not the recall. This was new to me, apologies if this hazard light problem isn't new. Also, if the hazards do come on, every car I've owned always has it on the dashboard as simultaneous right and left signal. That isn't happening...
  7. Sources: "Porsche recalls nearly 12,000 Taycan in the USA"

    Not a single hit of this problem when I search the forums here. Where's this coming from?
  8. Regenerative Braking - brake lights on?

    Are the brake lights on when I release the accelerator?
  9. Porsche, please… my Taycan is not white!!!

    I noticed it the other day as well, and since I'm no young buck anymore couldn't remember if it had always been that way or it was a glitch. It is white for everyone and has always been?
  10. Anyone with Burmester and/or the stock stereo mind testing this to see if you have interior rattle?

    I played Noma and Fisher at volume 20. I think my bass is a couple notches above 0, but didn't check. I have Burmester and didn't hear any rattle. Whew. I wasn't sure what to expect because I don't play music that loud.
  11. More than 30 days in the shop - Advice requested

    If you are interested in getting some type of reimbursement, contact Porsche North America who will work with you on this from my experience. Explain your situation. They will ask for details and contact your service dealership to verify. I would aim at least 3% of the vehicle price for over...
  12. Possible to drive on empty / zero battery / charge? Any reserves?

    It helps a lot. Very informative. Thank you!...
  13. Possible to drive on empty / zero battery / charge? Any reserves?

    Is there any type of reserve battery once miles left hits zero? Has anyone experienced this and have any info? I'm not going to run the mileage down as I would an ICE, but it would be useful to know on that very rare occasion. My BMW's give me at least 1/2 gallon even at "-----" when the...
  14. New update end of February

    Am I correct in that there are updates requiring our Taycans to be taken into the dealership which are different from the OTA updates?
  15. AC not working

    Thanks, Genau, for bringing up what I posted. I was just about to provide a link to that AC problem I had. Porsche service had to order that O ring from Germany, and service had to learn the entire repair procedure, so my car was about for about 3-4 weeks. However, Porsche NA customer...
  16. Taycan Turbo S Races Mclaren P1

    Interesting that, while both are spec'ed 0-62mph in 2.8s, the Taycan clocked in at 2.7s while the P1 at 3.65s. Under promising, over delivering works for me!
  17. Air conditioning problem

    I had the same exact symptoms. My AC would not cool sufficiently. This is what I found out. The vehicle spec for refrigerant charge weight is 980g. I had <300g. There was leakage. In the end, an O-ring needed to be ordered from Germany which took a week or two. It is URGENT that you...
