    What mileage are you getting?? I’m disappointed…

    I have 12,700 miles on my 2021 Taycan RWD. I took a trip to Cape Hatteras this weekend from Raleigh. Only one DCFC in this part of the NC OBX and I got stuck waiting for an e-tron that was charging up to 100%. I was in a rush so I only charged to 85%. I then went to the Wright Brothers Museum...

    What’s your Taycan efficiency?

    I actually surprised myself when I sat down to see how much of that was highway miles. After trips to NYC, Chicago, Sarasota, and around NC (Boone & Wilmington), just over 26% of my miles were from long trips.

    Dealership Recommendations near NYC

    I only purchased my Taycan from Gold Coast Porsche but they treated me well and seemed trained and ethical.

    Electrical system error -- dashboard notification -- anyone else experience this? -- resolution - defective 12v battery

    I received the “Electrical System Error Service Required” Yellow Banner two days ago on Christmas Eve. I’ve had the car for 8 months and 9500 miles and was just thinking to myself how maintenance free it has been. Luckily, the code seems to have cleared itself; I was prepared to take it to the...

    130kw at EA

    For fastest charging, you need to go to the Charging menu in Settings and then click the three dots in the lower right. Uncheck the one about “battery life”. When I did this, my charging jumped up to 233kW on a 350kW EA Charger. (I have a RWD Standard Battery; I understand the Premium/bigger...

    Would you consider a Hydrogen Fuel cell car?

    I read somewhere that the uptick in articles about Hydrogen are mainly driven by the fossil fuel industry since most commercially available Hydrogen is made from Coal or Methane. One writer said it’s simplest to put the debate into two camps: Hydrogen ELECTRIC VEHICLES (HEV) or Battery ELECTRIC...

    79kw vs 93.4kw battery

    I just finished a 1,750 mile trip from Raleigh to Chicago and back in my RWD SB. I wasn’t willing to pay for the PB for the 30-ish extra miles it offered.

    Just got my recall letter....

    Received my email notification yesterday. March 2021 build. I’m currently 800+ miles away from home with my car; on a road trip to Chicago…

    Contemplating coming over from Model 3 - advice needed

    I, like a lot of folks, chose the Taycan over the Model 3/Model Y mainly because of the nicer interior and quiet ride. I cannot comment on Innodrive as I do not have that option. I initially assumed I’d mostly use CarPlay but have been pleasantly surprised by the Porsche native system. I will...

    Maximum charging speed

    And even with that said, I’m not super disappointed in gaining 235 miles of range in 42 minutes.

    charging at dealerships?

    I haven’t seen customer DCFC in either the Audi, Porsche, or Volkswagen Dealerships in Cary.

    Maximum charging speed

    I’m going to have to try the “brake trick”. I’m preparing to take a trip from Raleigh NC to Chicago IL later this month. Since I will be entering some charging areas with <10% SoC and will need to charge upwards of 95+% for the next leg, I decided to perform a test at my local 350 kW EA Charger...

    Passenger Side Mirror goes up on R.

    Sheesh! Thank you! I’d assumed the mirror going up was a mis-wire so I disabled the tilt in the PCM. Now I’m going to go throw it in reverse and adjust them properly.

    Day after purchasing Taycan 4S Electrical system error and bricked car in the middle of the highway.

    So it looks like the code was thrown where 278 crosses Astoria Blvd and that the car was towed by Rite Way Towing and Recovery ~6 miles to Manhattan Motorcars Porsche across from the American Retro Diner on 11th Ave. I am less skeptical now.

    Day after purchasing Taycan 4S Electrical system error and bricked car in the middle of the highway.

    This did remind me of stuff my 17 y/o does; create an account with a name like Timmy (SouthPark reference) and lives in “the metaverse”. He and his friends post things just for reactions. Folks on this forum are kinder and more believing than I am I guess. Best to error in the side of caution I...

    Hidden features in Taycan?

    Haha! I discovered this one on accident while washing my car! The frunk kept popping open when I was washing it so I googled and discovered it was meant to happen. I’m thinking about putting my keys 20 feet away the next time I wash it to prevent this as well as the door handles popping out.
