    Tesla Universal Wall Charger

    Thought some of you might appreciate my experience with the new Tesla charger. I just installed the new Tesla Universal Wall Charger to replace the Porsche Mobile Charger Connect (which has been a total loser). The Tesla charger works perfectly with the Taycan. I have a long wiring run on a...

    Homelink Shortcuts Not Available When Using Backup Camera

    I set up a Homelink shortcut to open and close my garage door. I back out of the garage and the Homelink icon does not appear until the backup camera screen closes. This seems like an over sight. The Homelink icon should appear as soon as I am out of the garage, regardless of the displayed...

    Write to Porsche NA RE: "Free Update" to Porsche Mobile Charger (WMP2 Campaign)

    The WMP2 update is to downgrade the charger to half of its charging capability. They are overheating and melting plugs. After the WMP2, it will take twice as long to charge the car. Based on the specifications of the Porsche Mobile Charge Connect device I acquired with my Taycan, I paid an...

    Porsche - We Need Over-the-Air PCM Updates

Now, they contact their customers to prepare us for some kind of Over-the-Air "update" they...

    Does Your Surround View Camera Work?

    I paid for the surround view camera (Premium Package) but it does not work. My dealer is aware of this but has not offered any solution after two months. The car just completed the in shop software update with no change in behavior. Before the software update I could click where the camera...

    Anyone Understand Wireless CarPlay and Wi-Fi?

    Wireless Apple CarPlay creates what appears to be a custom 5Ghz Wi-Fi connection to my phone (2021 Taycan). I don't have the password for the 5Ghz connection or for the TAYCAN_2001 signal down below (the signal seems to enable without a password). The connection appears when the phone is in the...

    Anyone get a 2021 Taycan auto-recognized when using an Electrify America charging station?

    I plugged in my 2021 Taycan into a 350kw Electrify American charging station and.... nada.... charging failed. No automatic connection. I call EA and a very nice lady authorized a free session. The good news is that the charging was indeed "fast," providing over 100 miles in less than 15...
