    Recall in Germany: Possible leaks and cell defects in high-voltage battery

    I think this can cause a lot of weird situation. Very reminiscent of the whole Chevrolet Bolt situation back in 2021 where GM adopted this strategy of forcing charging limitation via recall updates. I know cause I had a Bolt at the time that resulted in GM buying back my Bolt and thus why I...

    Is this what I think it is? Electrical system error

    I hope not. cause then it'll be another 5 years of waiting. To be fair, I think my situation is a bit more unique than others. First time that the dealership had to do this work.

    Is this what I think it is? Electrical system error

    Since we're all moaning, mine went into the dealership back in Nov. 2023. Tentatively scheduled for the technician to work on it first week of April. PNW region.

    Electrical System Error - 11 failed battery modules in 2021 Taycan under 10K miles

    Not entirely certain on the intricacies of that initial process, but in my case they had to consult w/ Porsche Germany on the steps. Best guess here is that the dealership had to get confirmation from Porsche Germany and maybe PCNA on whether to do module replacement or to do a battery pack...

    Electrical System Error - 11 failed battery modules in 2021 Taycan under 10K miles

    Lemon law doesn't apply in my situation due to the length of time and mileage that I have on the car. Trust me, I've already initiated the discussion of a goodwill repurchase, but got stone walled. Been spending the past week basically managing the Dealership and PCNA to get things resolved...

    Electrical System Error - 11 failed battery modules in 2021 Taycan under 10K miles

    Been in a base Macan with giantic loaner vehicle stickers on both side of the vehicle for the past 3 months now. The part that has been infuriating me has been the endless reasons and lack of any ETAs on next steps. 1) no timeline on when to get the 2 modules in, 2) we're also going to have to...

    Electrical System Error - 11 failed battery modules in 2021 Taycan under 10K miles

    Did they replace the entire battery or replace specific modules? I've been waiting for 3 months for my battery repair. Apparently, there's an utter lack of battery specialist that can perform the work in the Pacific Northwest and we're just waiting perpetually with no ETA on when that will happen.

    Tire life

    Tire wear can and will vary greatly between person to person assuming that both vehicles also have the same alignment. How heavy someone is on the pedal and how much speed they take turns at will have significant impact. The type of surface which they are driving can also be a major factor...

    PSA: Don't fully trust the 3D surround vision

    This is why sonars are still important. Even if it's not shown by the camera, the sonar sensor still provides you a indicator that something is probably there. Drivers need to be paying attention at all times and not just relying on a single technology. No tech is 100% perfect. It's...

    Taycan making weird noise after tire change at dealership due to tire puncture

    I wouldn't be surprised that this has caused some excessive wear on the wheel bearings as well. Make sure that it's documented so that in the future if there are issues regarding the wheel bearing / hub you can point to it that they didn't install the wheel properly in the past which could lead...

    Heater issues anyone?

    Without a doubt, there is probably some serious litigation going on internally between Webasto and Porsche and I suspect that's why there's been no comment from either party regarding this. I highly doubt that the failure is caused by the weather and instead it's the fact that we're in the...

    Shipping tires

    Tires only or Tires plus wheels. If it's just tires, tape 2 of them together and ship them as is. If it's tires + wheel, tape cardboard on both side of each wheel to protect the surface and ship each wheel as a package. Ebay seller charging $200 for shipping for a set of wheel + tire is...

    Gearbox: totally unnecessary.

    According to this article. 70kg for axle + transmission. Transmission by itself is 16kg. Effectively inconsequential weight in relation to the total overall weight of the car. https://www.drive.com.au/news/porsche-taycan-a-look-at-its-motors-transmission-and-dynamic-chassis/

    Brake-hold observation

    Depends on the degree of incline / decline that you're on. If the car is on relatively flat surface, then yes, it requires a harder press. If it's on a incline, then typically the car automatically engages hold for you when you're at a stop.

    Woo hoo - squirty squirty jet wash on rear camera lens

    FYI, when your windshield washer fluid starts going low, the rear camera wash jets will actually stop squirting well before your windshield jets stops squirting. I'm guessing there's some massive lines going from the front of the car to the rear. If that happens, it's time to add fluid, I was...

    Swapped my 21” Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres for 20” P Zero winters today - impressions

    Sounds like you have the air suspension. Range mode is even rougher. Fairly certain that this is due to the reduced suspension travel. Tough to say for certain. There are two factors at play here. First factor is that when summer tires get cold, they get rock hard. Second being that going...

    PCM 6 Update Oddities

    Try going to the "Device Overview" and see if Android Auto is greyed out for your phone there. If it is, try pressing it and it should try to reconnect. On occasion my car and phone gets stupid and I have to press it to reconnect.
