When the car is plugged into an EVSE, and I select manual pre-heat, the car will draw power from the HV battery. When I create a timer to get the car ready in 5 minutes, the car will use shore power (power from EVSE, not battery). Using the battery puts unnecessary wear on the battery (each...

Has anyone had any experience with Redshift power boost? They claim to be operating out of San Francisco area. https://www.redshift-performance.com/taycan

TLDR; don't trust the MyPorsche status of your car. It will show you fake status to keep you happy. It will no longer admit that it has no connection to your car. Ever use your app to make sure your Taycan is all locked up, safe and sound? You check your app and it tells you a comforting "just...

My Taycan is 10 months old. It recently started making a creaking noise from behind the left side behind the instrument cluster. Pushing hard on the plastic behind the instrument cluster (behind the headlights controls) make the creaking go away. Is this a known issue (with possible a simple...

Taycan has front and back USB-C ports. I had some passengers tell me the rear USB-C is not charging their phones very fast. So I decided to check. It seems both front and back USB-C connectors are last century 5V, 0.5A max, USB-A simply masked with a USB-C socket. You might be able to draw more...

I recently noticed my front camera was dirty, turned front windshield washer spray and there was no spray on the camera like there is in the reverse one. I thought I saw it spray the front camera in the past (like it does the night vision, which I confirmed still works on my car). Or am I...

When I picked up my Taycan, on 3rd or 4th day I spent 10 minutes trying to lock the car in the middle of a snow storm. Every time I locked it, it unlocked itself, whether I used the fob, or the touch control, it didn't matter. It kept happening to me less as I drove home into warmer weather and...

I was looking at the Porsche site with someone who is considering one. I quickly noticed a marketing trick upselling the PBP Notice from the above it would seem like the PBP adds 35.6% more range. Until you realize of course that the two range estimate standards are not the same (EPA vs. AMCI)...

Can someone with a Canadian Taycan check the country code in the Info screen of Homelink and report back the Country Code that is showing? Bonus if you know other country codes. Hint, 1 is not USA (I think it's Germany or EU but not certain).

Does anyone know what setting controls the Country Code in HomeLink? I couldn't find anything in user settings, nor using PIWIS diagnostic tool - I checked the "UGDO Sender" control unit but it doesn't seem to have any settings that can be coded, so I assume it gets it from somewhere else...

Not exclusive like Porsche lounges, so available to Taycan users. Even supports plug-and-charge https://insideevs.com/news/683881/mercedes-first-charging-hubs-fall2023/

In case you are wondering where to place your GoodToGo Flex Pass in a Taycan with noise and thermal insulated glass, the answer is in the dotted area at the top of the windshield next to the mirror. That area is a little small (my wife's Audi Q8 eTron has the same area but large enough to fit...

I noticed that my Porsche app removed all controls, no pre-heat/pre-cool, no remote unlock, etc. They car shows up, but even the car connection status is missing now. This has been an issue for the last 18 hours, at least that's when I noticed it when I wanted to pre-cool my car in scorching...

I am not trying to get people to start obsessing over their brake wear or charging frequency, however I have noticed an interesting trend. We all know the first mile or two every day the Taycan will use mechanical brakes to clean off the rust. We also know that Taycans recalibrate their brakes...

I was looking for a second TeslaTap80 for our latest Tesla replacement car and came across this. Has anyone tried any TeslaTap alternatives, like this one (which appears to be an almost identical clone)? 80A version for $78 (after the 20% HS20 code) seems very tempting...

I've seen the Porsche white glove installation of the hood ornament in a few marketing videos, it usually shows something like this: I recently looked at mine and couldn't help but notice that while the top of the badge seems to align perfectly, the bottom seems off: The green line is what...

Taycan is a giant computer, so the stereotypical IT "Have you turned it off and back on yet" diagnostic very much applies. Does anyone want to share the quickest method to reset the Taycan computers? The long method is to shut the car down and leave it alone a 30-60 minutes. Any proven fuse pull...

I noticed my car has been remembering the last audio source recently when I get into the car. In the past it always went to CarPlay I think. but lately it's been remembering the most recent audio source (FM radio in this case). At first I thought CarPlay was not connecting, which actually turned...

https://www.teslarati.com/porsche-increases-pricing-q1-earnings/ TL;DR: Porsche announces 4%-8% price increases across the entire lineup Or are they borrowing a page from Elon's marketing, threatening price increases to get people to place orders and not cancel orders stuck due to lack of heaters?

Is there any way to disable the front camera image swiveling whenever I turn my steering wheel? While I'm sure it sounded like a great idea to some MBA marketing guys, because it looks cool, it actually takes away from the functionality. Anyone know of a way to disable it?
