There are two reasons I am keeping my 2021 4S. One, I love to drive it (I have all the suspension goodies and rear wheel steer). Two, it depreciated so fast I feel obligated to run it into the ground.

Received submission confirmation on March 4. Check noted as expected within 4 weeks. Still no check.

I'm waiting patiently for the OTA that decreases my vehicles loss of market value.

It gas been two months since Porsche Connect has been off. The only thing I miss is the pre heating / cooling function but that is not worth $329 US/Year to me. I am not sure what happens if Porsche releases an over-the-air update that adds new features or fixes safety issues. Seems like they...

The early Lucids were a problem. Those I drove last week were well made and worth a look. Of course the risks associated with a new manufacturer are real. In buying one you are trusting their Saudi investors to stay the course. Really nice luxury EVs that offer some great packaging and range...

I just drove both a Lucid Pure and a Lucid Touring this past weekend. The Pure is rear wheel drive and you can feel the car's weight shift dramatically when you make even moderately aggressive turns. Not a sports car. The Touring is 4-wheel drive and handles extremely well. I presume they...

Note: To safely get the full 11.5kw from the Tesla Universal Charger you should have wiring that supports 60 AMPS. I have wiring that only supports 50 AMPS and, while I was able to see 11.5 kw from the Tesla Universal Charger (48 AMP at 240 Volts), I opted to manually downgrade Tesla Universal...

The 240 VOLT 100 AMP electric service needed to support 19.2 kw charging at the vehicle will require upgraded wiring. Get some bids if you want to go this way. I added a 50 AMP circuit to my garage supporting 9.6 kw when I bought the Taycan and should have specified 60 AMPS to support the stock...

The Taycan resale market is lousy but having driven every other luxury EV, I am very happy to continue joyfully driving the best EV out there. The closest thing to the Taycan is a 4-wheel drive Lucid but it is no Porsche as to handling and overall driving enjoyment. I guess we are stuck with the...

The Porsche iPhone app does nothing if you do not have an active (paid for) Porsche Connect subscription.

Please send a screen shot after you tap the pre-heat/cool icon.

Thanks. Not easy to find. For those interested: Go here: https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls Under "Safety Issues and Recalls" click on "Equipment" Under "Check your equipment safety" click on "Search by NHTSA ID" Enter "23V841000" Click "GO"

Thank-you for documenting the history of this issue. I sent a letter about this to the President of Porsche NA in September 2022. I could not believe their response was to remotely de-rate the amperage without fixing the problem. This was clearly an issue subject to a formal recall but they...

Nothing in the Porsche Connect App works without a Porsche Connect subscription. Here is a screenshot when I tap the pre-heat/pre-cool icon in the app.

I am not complaining about the price so much as trying to understand the value proposition of Connect services. So far, $319/year + tax doesn't make my value proposition threshold.

I keep wondering why Porsche is supporting wireless Apple Carplay. I read that Porsche has committed to the next version of Carplay that further integrates all the cars displays and functions. The answer may be that Porsche will start minimizing their software UI in favor of Carplay, and that...

I just tested with Porsche Connect disconnected and all Apple Wireless Carplay apps work, except for navigation and car control aspect of the Porsche Carplay App. Voice control defaults to Siri through Carplay. Navigation defaults to CarPlay. Apple Maps and various Carplay charging apps (EA...

Thanks for the input. All the services you mention are available on my phone and through wireless Apple Car Play. After 5 days without Connect services I miss nothing. The one connection service I did routinely use was the pre-heat/pre-cool feature that will come into play when the weather in...

Exactly where I am on this. Porsche makes insanely great hardware but their marketing efforts alienate customers. They wrongly believe they have a mystique customers can't refuse. I pay $60/yr for cell backup service to my alarm system, which means Porsche pays less to maintain a cell...
