    First Electrify America charging experience using 350kw charger

    I agree with your wife. I wish I had bought the Audi RS7 that was available when I took delivery of the Taycan. Love the Taycan, but it is of limited use because of EA’s troubles.

    EA charging FAIL FAIL FAIL

    Herein lies the problem with the Taycan. If it’s purpose is not a ‘burb car, don’t buy it. EA is totally unreliable, one EA charger left my car stranded after the fuses in the car blew during the connection process. I now charge exclusively at my house or on scattered slow chargers around town...

    Turbo Goes Ker-POW. 350 amp main battery fuses blow while charging

    Don’t remember, but not overly long. Let me put it like this. The 12v battery ran out well before Porsche roadside assistance showed up. Was not a fun evening.

    Charging Port Impaired - "Left (or right) charging port impaired" error message

    Can’t beat the cool factor of the electric ones, which I have. Perhaps I have been lucky but I have had zero issues with them. Matter of fact, while the car does need some Tech tweaks, overall I’m pretty happy with the electrics/electronics in the Taycan. ACP is another story, but it’s working...

    S/W Update

    Lots of things were promised to early adapters but have not been delivered. What is important to one person might not be important to the other. But things were promised. Including a s/w update this month. And yes, wireless ACP was promised early on.

    S/W Update

    Where’s our s/w update? Thought it was promised for January. I’m driving a mid year 2020. Among other things, I’m looking for the Real McCoy wireless Car Play. I have it working via a Chinese dongle from Amazon, but I really don’t want a dongle of any sort in my car :swear:

    Turbo Goes Ker-POW. 350 amp main battery fuses blow while charging

    Here’s an update. Stopped by the same site the other day and used the very same charger. Plugged in and used the Charge America app. No ‘Ker-Pow’, just a half an hour of no expense juice at a high rate. Whatever the issue was, it’s gone. For now anyway ;)

    Rear Axle Steering....not needed, nice to have, or must have?

    Must have for all of the reasons stated, and in my case I have a very tight right turn into my garage. RWS makes a snap out of a difficult and regularly occurring situation.

    CarPlay wifi ?

    Works just fine in my car. All you need to do is get a USB A to C adapter, and use the cable that came with the dongle. Once I connected the dongle that way, I was able to update the sw by using my iPhone and the IP link that was provided in the instructions. Works great. But I still want...

    Model year 2020 wireless carplay

    So my initial reaction to the CarPlay in a box is once it gets running it works well. But after a cold start of the vehicle, as in being in the garage overnight, it is taking 2-3 minutes or perhaps a little longer before CarPlay starts working. Is this a unique issue and perhaps a setting...

    Model year 2020 wireless carplay

    Never mind, I got it working and even updated the sw through the web link. What I found is you MUST use a USB A to USB C cable, and a USB A to USB C adapter. Weird. C to C doesn’t work. That was mentioned in a thread on this forum but I thought to myself, ‘yeah, sure’. But it is correct...

    Model year 2020 wireless carplay

    I followed the instructions in this thread. Downloaded the s/w (2020.11.10.2137) to a usb stick which was properly formatted. Plugged the usb stick into the USB port on the box. Then plugged the usb c side into an iPad charger w/usb adapter. Nothing is working. No lights, no nothing. Any...

    POWER POWER POWER

    Nice write up and analysis. For me, I really don’t have a reason to quantify it, although it would be an interesting exercise. The electrical power for my Taycan, and for all of my house, comes from my roof. The roof generates so much excess that each year I have to give credits back to my...

    Show your home charging setup for your Taycan

    Elon’s charger is juicing my Taycan. Love it. Bracket on the wall holds the connector parallel to the wall so you are less likely to bump into it. Tesla Tap makes it all possible.
