    Do brake lights illuminate during auto-regen?

    I've been wondering about this for some time, like every time I get on the freeway these past 2 years. I use the auto-regen religiously and it does 90% of the work for me during bumper-to-bumper traffic. So I wonder, does the guy behind me realize I am slowing down?

    Something a bit more 911…

    I drove a similar (997 911S Cabriolet) for nearly 12 years and sold it for a bit less than what I paid originally. How many "six figure" cars can you drive 12 years for free? Only a 911!

    Porsche Taycan with Sound - What Do you Think ? 👍🏽👎🏽

    Might play well in Miami but not in the real world. Paying for noise makes no sense to me. YMMV.

    Will older models get the new push to pass upgrade?

    many of these options take the fun out of driving. I'll pass - pls forgive the pun.

    Ice grey or Dolomite?

    i think silver has had its time. That time was about 10 years ago. They are everywhere now. Bright flat colors are in. YMMV.

    World Premiere: 2025 Taycan Turbo GT and Taycan Turbo GT with Weissach Package

    Bragging rights is at the heart of many high-end car sales. Especially in my neighborhood. I think you nailed it. I am soooo glad I bought my Taycan in this generation model because although its not the fastest EV, its the best combination of price, luxury and performance, and I couldn't...

    Installed Tesla Universal Charger - Thanks to Daveo4EV

    Received my $600 reimbursement from Porsche today for the Tesla Universal Connector. Case closed!

    Taycan RWD

    If someone wants to fly past me on the freeway because he lacks self esteem, I'm fine with it. I didn't buy the car to race it. My measure of performance is to answer the question, "can this car get me out of trouble quickly if necessary," and on that measure it satisfies. However I agree...

    Installed Tesla Universal Charger - Thanks to Daveo4EV

    Is there any benefit to keeping the nozzle inside the unit when not in use (other than keeping it safe?). Otherwise I might hang the end closer to the front of the car and the vehicle's charge port. I ran the unit last night for its virgin flight. All good!

    From Taycan Dreams to Plaid Realities: My Electrifying Pivot

    Love your story, the humility and the honesty. Gives real meaning to the slogan "there is no substitute" and they really need to bring that tagline back. A lot of people don't get it (like the ones buying, IDK, a Lucid). You clearly do, and I'm confident you'll be driving a Porsche again.

    Installed Tesla Universal Charger - Thanks to Daveo4EV

    I can't imagine its much different than what I just did. I removed the Porsche charger. But you all know the expert on this topic, its @daveo4EV and rumor has it that he is a product of AI, or at least 25% AI.

    Installed Tesla Universal Charger - Thanks to Daveo4EV

    Yes it popped out immediately and clever how they designed that. It looks great and I'm excited to use it. However i would caution about calling it an easy install. That is a relative matter and what is easy for you was not easy for me! Having the right tools is essential. My wire cutters...

    Installed Tesla Universal Charger - Thanks to Daveo4EV

    Just finished up installing and launching the Tesla Universal Charger, many thanks to @daveo4EV for guiding me through it. I had pretty much hijacked a thread regarding the EV charging fiasco so wanted to start afresh in case there are questions. Below is the box before I mounted the charger...

    New Charger-related recall (for the 240 V cable) (NHTSA ID 23V-841)

    So i've got the clippers to cut the individual lines to length, but I've got waaaay too much cable even with the 5 ft product from Amazon (I bought both 5 and 10 ft just to be safe). How do you recommend I cut 1.5 feet off the entire conduit without cutting off 1.5 fingers? Are we having fun yet?

    New Charger-related recall (for the 240 V cable) (NHTSA ID 23V-841)

    I totally got this! I am bringing the conduit through the top of that box and its diameter is much smaller than the aperture. I notice however a rubber piece inside the part that I popped off to create the opening. Does that rubber part come out for purposes of making the aperture smaller?

    Let's Share Our Configurations for the MY2025 Model

    maybe you mean 4-door sedans? I had those decals on my 911S Cab (and they looked great) but they wouldn't feel right on a Taycan. Just my 2c since you asked.

    New Charger-related recall (for the 240 V cable) (NHTSA ID 23V-841)

    @daveo4EV The box did not contain a J1772 adapter so I suppose I need to purchase that as well?

    New Charger-related recall (for the 240 V cable) (NHTSA ID 23V-841)
