    Which tyres?

    I have the Goodyear asymmetric 3s on 21” wheels and have generally pretty happy with them until last week. I had a flat tire and was towed to the dealership. Found out there is a shortage (?) of these tires in the US and I can’t get a new one for approx 2 weeks?? I asked about the asymmetric...

    Electrical System Error!!

    Yes I did and thank you for asking. It took 3 days from the time the battery arrived until I got my car back. i was surprised I didn’t have to redo any settings outside my SXM channels. I haven’t noticed a big difference in range, but winters months are usually lower range than the rest of...

    FYI: Main Battery Replacement Needed!!!

    Sorry to hear about this. I had the exact same thing happen a month ago. On 11/14 it was towed to the dealership. After some consultation they decided to replace the entire battery - was told it ships as a complete unit with the installation hardware needed. My car has been there one month...

    Electrical System Error!!

    Update: After 2 weeks in the shop it was determined that they are going to replace the entire high voltage battery system, which means they are going to have to drop the whole bottom of the car and replace everything. ETA on parts has not yet been determined, but my SA thinks best case early...

    AC Performs Poorly in Hot Weather

    I had mine in North Texas & Houston last summer and I can’t recall having a single issue with the AC not performing adequately. You may need to tweak air settings eco/regular/focus/diffuse. I also have my seats set to ventilate at certain temps which helps too.

    Electrify America to Transform the Electric Vehicle Charging Experience, Creating a Customer Oasis with Ultra-Fast Charging

    They have a way to go because the ones I’ve been to in Texas are in sketchy Walmart parking lots (and at least one charger is always out of service). The vision sounds nice, but what kw price is needed to support it?

    Porsche on Fire (literally)!

    I suspect that at least some of these charred cars may be Taycans en route to US, along with Bentleys and Audis…man that is rough Bentley, Porsche and Audis Burning at Sea

    Taycan Cross Country Trip Sets Record With Under 2.5 Hours Total Charging Time

    Maybe the short charging duration was because many of the EA chargers were in sketchy areas and the driver didn’t feel safe to charge longer? Kidding! Mostly.

    Is this what I think it is? Electrical system error

    I’ve had the same issue a couple times in the last month. I took it in over the weekend and today was told that they have to replace the “high voltage charger”. There are apparently only a couple stateside so hopefully one can be here by Friday, installed early next week. It would be about...

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

    I agree, if 60% of cars are actually impacted, then 6 in 10 members on this site should be experiencing them. I don’t see anything like that at all, but I do see a lot of fairly trivial complaints posted here regularly. Maybe the people here are just statistically lucky and are mostly from the...

    Car not starting

    I got this yesterday after it sitting at the airport for 4 days. I was able to lock, walk away and come back a few minutes later and it resolved itself (though it took 3 times locking & leaving). At the service center this morning and they think it’s an issue where the 12v got too low and it...

    Charging Issue

    Robert, I did this and have not experienced any further issues. I do think it is a cable/temperature problem exacerbated by a software update to my mobile charger. thanks again!

    Charging Issue

    I am having this same issue. It charges for somewhere around an hour and stops. Very frustrating. These charging “stops” didn’t happen until the I got the latest software update about 6 weeks ago. In the first 5 months I had the car I charged almost every night and never had this issue...
