My Taycan's 4 year warranty ends fairly soon and I intend to keep the car. I've been considering my options and the dealer just quoted me $4500 for a 2 year CPO extension. Has anyone else had a recent quote on this? Anyone have suggestions for alternatives?

I know many people have had heater failures but mine has been fine for the last 3 years. Anyway, today I got a recall on the heater for my '21 Taycan: Porsche is committed to customer satisfaction and has decided to replace the High Voltage Battery Heater (HV Heater) in certain Taycan...

Just got a recall notice from Porsche that my Porsche charger's 240 V cable will be replaced (someday)..in the meantime I can buy another charger and be re-imbursed up to $600. Interestingly, even tho the recall is tied to my car's VIN, that VIN does NOT show (yet?) as a recall on NHTSA site...

I've been driving my Taycan for about 2 1/2 years but still need help with some stuff: 1. In Porsche navigation, is there a way to remove some favorites without removing others. It seems that you need to clear ALL favorites to get rid of some.; 2. Am I the only one having a problem specifying...

I just saw this article about Tesla owners trapped inside by power loss...

One of the Tesla Supercharger locations on Long Island (Shirley) has been converted to accommodate non-Tesla charging and I decided to give it a whirl. I was impressed by how easy it was to use. You need the Tesla application and then only need to tell it what charge stationr ID you are using...

I just took in my car for ANA6 recall update. It took about a month to get the appointment ..but they did give me a loaner. Much to my surprise my Service Advisor told me that they might keep it as much as 2 weeks!.(altho it might take less)..why? because, he said, they are doing them in...

Amen to this...

I love to stay at hotels that have chargers. In Niagara Falls, NY recently stayed at hotel with 2 Tesla chargers. I used my Tesla Tap (for the first time) and it worked just fine. Ironically, I found myself charging next to a real Tesla and they were interested in how I was able to charge. Also...

I recently went to the Porsche web site and got the message that my car was subject to the ANA6 recall and I should contact my dealer. Got a service appointment online (a mistake!) and took it in today. Sadly, the dealer said they did not yet have the ability to apply the patch. Has anyone had...

Could this really be happening? https://finance.yahoo.com/news/white-house-tesla-expand-u-141440366.html

I started the car a couple of minutes ago and, per the email, expected to be logging in and logging out, etc....but NOTHING...has anyone actually gone through the email process: "When prompted, log into your vehicle....." ???

Maybe we are getting closer in the US to accessing Tesla Superchargers? Tesla May Seek Federal Funds To Open Supercharger Network To Public (insideevs.com)

I have PIRM and have been experimenting with how to condition the battery (e.g. heat the battery) while enroute to a "Porsche charger" (e.g EA) in the GPS. The conditioning appears to ONLY work if I put the car in RANGE mode...is that really the only way that conditioning occurs?

So I go to a nice new EA site just opened near me (the site is in Carle Place, New York, USA): The Good News: 1. all the hardware was working 2. Plug and Charge also worked fine 3. the Porsche GPS actually had the (new!) location in it (a pleasant surprise) The Bad News: 4. EA put in 4 brand...

Altho they do not make it easy, I just got a GREEN EZ-Pass that makes my Taycan eligible for 10% discount. Some info here: https://www.thruway.ny.gov/ezpass/greentag.html need to file a new E-ZPass application and specify GREEN as a Plan Code (under Optional Discount Plans). Because the...

I think this is a sign EVs are becoming more mainstream....it will be interesting how this plays out! https://news.yahoo.com/hertz-orders-100-000-model-122940978.html

I had to jack my Taycan recently (nail in tire) and found that the jack points need an adapter (for the floor jack) which is not a "standard" Porsche adapter. Suncoast does not seem to have one and Amazon does not seem to have one. Anybody know where these might be available?
