    Check Your Tires!

    FWIW my Macan Turbo with air suspension used to eat through rear tires like that every 9K miles. Porsche advised it was due to heavy toque vectoring intervention due to my driving style.

    20" vs 21" ride quality difference

    Ride quality is acceptable on 21" wheels (even with summer tires). With the air suspension you can switch the ride on the fly too, which even makes the ride more comfortable when necessary. With my Taycan, the only real issue I noticed was upon delivery, there were some buzzing/rattles in the...

    Smart lift disappeared

    I may be incorrect, but I think the smart lift is also tied into GPS connection. If the car is not getting a GPS connection, then there is no smart lift function available. I am only stating this as it appears to be the case based on my observations. Maybe it is different for you. I have...

    Lowered chassis when parked

    4 post lift will not work for rears, the tires absolutely need to come off to get to the sensors. You can do the fronts on a 4 post lift.

    Lowered chassis when parked

    You could probably use a shorter extension, this just keeps you from having to put your head under the car when on lift.

    Lowered chassis when parked

    Here is my advice before the install. Take a look at the harness and mark it up (front/back) with some tape and (left/right) for the plugs before you do the install. That way you do not mix the plugs up. The rear sensor plugs are a bitch to get to, I found it easiest to use a 1/4 drive Torx...

    Wattage of USB C ports

    QFT, my wife uses the USB-C in rear seat and it is easier to pull to disconnect than opening the armrest. (straight shot from rear seat to front seat). As reluctant as she is to do it, I prefer we keep nothing visible in car whatsoever, that includes anything at all (paper, coins, drink cups...

    New Porsche App is garbage

    I just downloaded the new MyPorsche app (previously had the MyPorscheEssentials and Porsche Connect apps). The download for the new MyPorsche app was almost instant and my first login was seamless. The app connected to both cars in my garage and was able to immediately connect to the PCM and...

    Does a fully charged Taycan weigh the same as one that's nearly depleted?

    I noticed my Taycan was heavier after a full charge, however maybe that was due to the lunch I had eaten?

    Bizarre 'whistleblower' claims “60% of all delivered Taycan have battery issues that caused replacements, damages and fires”

    60% is 6 of 10 Taycan owners. With the TaycanForum members affinity to bitch about anything, we would have surely heard about these issues long before the writer to Teslarati would have. This is the only post on Teslarati by Alex Voigt, but he sure loves to write for CleanTechnica, although it...

    Porsche (or PCNA) deleted my car and my account, and customer support is worthless. How do I fix this?

    My wife and I had run into similar issues with our Taycan and 992 because Porsche was confused as to the ownership. It was resolved by making me primary on the 992 with her secondary and her primary on the Taycan and me secondary. It was some sort of glitch with the system. We do not have EA...

    Section 179 tax deduction for Cross Turismo?

    I do not quite understand how/why the section 179 would be a deal-breaker. You can always lease and write of the vehicle expenses that way. Regardless in this type of situation, put the section 179 decision in the CPA or tax attorneys hand.

    UPDATE #2 (First CT4 in Hawaii)

    Fellow Hawaii Taycan owner. 2021 MY. POH has been great with our software updates. I just had a seatbelt inspection last week (AMB6) which was clear because I do not have any belts affected. Only issues our car has had was some b-pillar rattles and they were fixed to satisfaction on the...

    Rumor of significant charging issue causing Taycan failures

    I ONLY charge at 6.6KW on a L2 Charge point commercial charger. Not a single issue yet. We did charge on a DC charge one time to confirm it works.

    Has anyone seen a sportdesign kit like this?

    It is the regular sport design body kit, in carbon fiber. It looks as if most of the lower black pieces that typically come with a slight texture are painted. I would be interested to see if they were primered with high build and blocked out to be smooth like the rest of the white surfaces...
