Specs Current Vehicle: 2021 Taycan Turbo S Delivered: June 2021 Lease Term: 42 months Miles: approx. 41,000 (yeah, I put a lot of miles on this sucker!) The dealership typically lets me cancel a few months early with no penalty if I'm rolling into a new lease. And I plan to. The Taycan TS...

Most of this stuff doesn't really even reach the level of rumor; mainly just San Diego gossip. But I like gossip so figured I'd share with the group: EA - Coolant, Slow Charging Had a friendly chat with an EA repair dude while charging at Walmart the other day. I asked him why the output of the...

Context: 2021 Taycan Turbo S with 93 kWh battery capacity. There are typically around 202 miles remaining when I charge to 100%. It's been like that for two years. So presumably my average consumption is around 2.17 miles/kWh. After a recent 500 mile road trip with chilly temperatures, a fair...

Recuperation on my 2021 Taycan Turbo S has been turned off since I took delivery in June 2021. Recuperation, as my sales rep explained, is the process of converting the friction and heat of the braking system back into electricity and using that power to charge the battery. It takes place...

Sorry for the length of this rant. If you don't want to read it, I'm basically just asking if there're any short-term positive developments on the horizon that'll improve the public charging experience for Taycan owners. ---- 2021 Taycan Turbo S owner here... I need to make a decision to...

I make extensive use of the "free" Walmart/EA chargers. Walmarters are becoming aggressively inquisitive. I'm not talking about fellow EV customers who are charging. Those dudes are pretty cool, typically asking how long it takes to charge, performance specs, etc. I always enjoy exchanging...

Hey friends, San Diego Taycan owner here. I took delivery of my 2021 TTS in June of 2021. I assumed that my first service would be due in June of 2023. That's two years. I saw a post on this forum which I can't seem to find right now regarding 20,000 mile service. This concerns me a bit...

I was watching this show called "Naked and Afraid" the other night and one of the contestants found, killed, and eventually ate an electric eel. The show's narrator mentioned that the eel generates 600 volts of electricity and some eels can generate up to 1000 volts. So presumably there are eels...

I'm charging my car in a strange and eerie little town called Baker, CA. I pass through it when running between Las Vegas and San Diego. It's a new(ish) charging station with twelve chargers. I've found that at any given time: At least four will display an error message on-screen Two will be...

Any thoughts on why my headlights flicker when captured via an iPhone camera but look totally normal to the naked eye? See video below:

Is it possible to change one's username? I don't see an option in the Profile section. Thanks.

TLDR I ran my battery to zero and had to be towed. A few insights and questions follow. Background I make the trip between San Diego and Las Vegas quite frequently. The first leg of the eastbound trip is from my apartment in San Diego to an Electrify America in a little town called Hesperia up...

Got into an discussion about whether or not Taycan is "weighed down" after being fully charged, similar to how an ICE vehicle becomes heavier after filling the tank. I'm not a science guy but vaguely remember from high school that electrons have no mass. So it seems, in theory at least, that...

Porsche mailed me a Taycan pen: Interestingly, you can't use it for writing. There's no ink in it. On a somewhat related note, the Taycan is equipped with a pen holder in the glove compartment. The holder successfully holds all pens except the Taycan pen. The Taycan pen pops out because the...

Greetings gentlemen, Six months in and still loving the TTS! I'm one of those poor souls who doesn't have access to a home charger, so I rely exclusively on Electrify America, and sometimes EVGo and ChargePoint. I've only done DC charging through the passenger-side port thus far. Not too...

Taycan vanity mirror: My primary passenger complains about it on occasion. I don't recall getting this complaint with the 911. Just curious if Taycan's vanity mirrors are indeed unusually small and if so, is there a compelling reason for this design decision?

A few weeks back, a small rock flew off the back of a truck I was following. I heard it hit the glass roof. Didn't think much of it but today I happened to notice where it hit. It's a tiny little dent and there's a hairline crack that begins from the point of impact and stretches maybe 80% of...

I was charging my TTS at an Electrify America in Las Vegas (Outlet Mall, south strip) and got to talking to the driver of another Turbo S with specs almost identical to my own. Turns out he's part of a Lucid test team. Another member of his team was chilling in the parking lot waiting on him...

Just had a wonderful drive in the Taycan TS from San Diego to Julian, CA. Lots of twisty mountain roads, perfect weather, and virtually had the road to myself. What an amazingly fun vehicle the Taycan is! [my friend standing next to Taycan in Julian] What are your favorite "for fun" driving...

I got hit with an $11.87 charge on my business credit card from Porsche Smart Mobility: Any idea what this is? It's not Porsche Connect. I opted out of that and never used it. Coincidentally, I did receive an invoice for Porsche Connect by email for $0.00. Since the total was zero, I just...
