    Zappi and Porsche timers

    I tried to search for my previous posts on this topic, but I’ve drawn a blank… I have a 22kw tethered Zappi charger (we have 3-phase electricity), but most of the time I just plug in on 1 phase at a rate of around 4.7kw, depending on what power the house is using. When the weather is better...

    [Updated] My Porsche App updated w/ new interface and functions

    Can you add the Porsche widget to a watch face? I can see the contents of the Porsche widget on my watch, but “MyPorsche” doesn’t appear as an option when I try and edit the watch face? Am I missing something obvious?! Thanks.

    Pothole 1, Taycan 0..

    Yes, I was concerned about that, but the wheel seemed fine and no warning messages, so the Porsche garage just fitted the new tyres.

    I wasn’t offered anything when I collected the car, but I had intended to take something out and had been looking at third party product providers. I just forgot :swear:

    I’m not sure the small difference in sidewall between the tyres on my GTS and whatever profile you fitted to your car would have made much, if any, difference.

    Pothole 1, Taycan 0..

    One had a huge hole in the sidewall, the other had a huge bulge in the sidewall - no doubt they both needed to be replaced - Pirelli P Zero EV

    Two 21” tyres at £876 total :crying:

    Pothole 1, Taycan 0..

    Yes, I reported the pothole to the Council and requested a claim form. The Porsche garage have confirmed there is a bulge in the front tyre too, so that will also need to be replaced.

    Thanks - this is for a rear, but I know where the garage get their tyres from, so will call them first thing tomorrow!

    Pothole 1, Taycan 0..

    On the way home from work today I ran into/over a pothole - the (nearside rear) tyre immediately deflated due to a huge gash in the side. I had to drive a few hundred metres to get off the main road, so I hope the alloy isn’t damaged. Porsche assist were pretty good and got a recovery truck to...

    Recall campaign APB2

    Very similar experience for me: - no differences noted (but not previously had any issues) - Macan loaner felt very old fashioned and sluggish, but still drunk fuel at an alarming rate! My tyres were down to around 5mm after 4,500 miles so you definitely do need to try harder!

    Recall campaign APB2

    My 2023 Taycan ST GTS was taken back to the dealer today for the APB2 recall (high voltage battery leakage testing). At the same time they did WPN8 - repgramming of the PCM (optimised software). I’ll be collecting it tomorrow, so I’ll let you know if I notice anything different - anyone else...

    Taycan pre-heating

    Well I have the Timer set to 85% battery for 06:55 tomorrow morning - The car is currently at 50% charge. Charging is currently ‘paused’, direct charging is ‘off’. No profiles are active. Does the car know that it can get 22kw and is therefore waiting until 05:00 to start charging (at the max...

    Taycan pre-heating

    I can get 22kw when requested via the Zappi app. We are on the Octopus solar tariff, so no cheap rate overnight.

    Taycan pre-heating

    Well I woke up today to find the car at 57% charge for my 06:55 departure, despite having set an 85% target. Despite being connected to a 22kw charger, the car was only pulling c. 4kw when I went to bed last night, but I had assumed it would increase the rate as required to get to the target...

    Taycan pre-heating

    Well, as I’m asking stupid question (and am too lazy to RTFM)… On the middle touch screen there is a ‘direct charging‘ option and a ‘pre-heat/cool’ option. Am I correct in: a) using the first of these to override any pre-set modes and just charge the car as fast as possible b) using the second...

    The Strategic Stupidity of Porsche: "The 911 will definitely be the last, if ever, to be electrified"

    The whole point for Porsche is that a Sports car isn't about ultimate lap times, it's about feel, handling, involvement etc. You can help mitigate the weight issues that EVs suffer from by placing the batteries low and with instant torque, performance can outdo the ICE, but the delivery is...

    Taycan pre-heating

    I'm very aware about the importance of scheduling charging stops on the Porsche Nav so that the battery can be preconditioned ready to accept maximum charge when you arrive. However, I've not really bothered too much with planning to pre-heat the battery prior to my normal journey, which...
