    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...

    What is your preferred nav app(s) to use while driving long distance (charging required)?

    In a perfect world, I'd only use one. Is it possible? I don't drive far from home but will be soon heading to Yosemite from San Diego, then to Berkeley, and then home. I'd prefer to use Electrify-America since I am still on their free 30-mins plan. My apologies to non-US drivers if you have...

    My Taycan no longer a virgin

    For two years I was the guy who parked at the far end of the lot. Never taking more than one spot but always with an open space on either side. Even more often I'd parallel park, risking that I might curb the tires as opposed to being dinged by another driver. Last week, I had no choice - all...

    Tesla Cybertruck beats 911 while towing a 911

    I miss my 911 but unless you track the car for competition or fun, you never experience what its capable of, and then there's this:

    I obviously have too much time on my hands because I found this and can't stop thinking about it

    it pops on my display when I am parking, and the image on the back window looks like its trying to tell me that there is a windshield wiper back there (there isn't), or a camera, but then what the heck is it trying to tell me with the dashes flowing out of it?

    How do we know the rear spoiler really works? Faith?

    I had the same issue with my 911. Unless I asked someone to follow me on the freeway, I'd have no proof the thing really activated at speed. And nobody was willing to follow me anyway. My understanding is the spoiler on the Taycan is supposed to rise at a certain speed. I was told by the SA...

    Did you know your Taycan has a compass and altimeter?

    Discovered this while trying to get the PCM out of a hypnotic glitch (which is happening way too often lately). I've had the car nearly 2 years and never saw it before. I thought I had tried all the cool dashboard options, so maybe this is from some OTA update? Curious to hear from others...

    Does your heater perform as good as your AC?

    This is really vexing me. When I run the AC on AUTO, the fan blows at high speed. When I turn up the heat, it seems nothing happens. Only when I set it to MAX will I hear the heater fan blowing. If I set the heat to, say 88F, it WILL heat up, but very slowly. No fan. On top of this it...

    What's with all the Notifications

    My first year of ownership I hardly ever saw any Notifications pop on the PCM and now it seems they are popping up constantly while driving, multiple times per trip. I thought "I'll ask the forum guys about this" and then I decided I should do my own homework and so I parked to look at them...

    Auto-Regen Ignorance

    I love this feature and wish I could have it permanently engaged. But I'm wondering...when it does engage in slowing the vehicle, does the car's brake light also engage (I am thinking no), and does the engine braking reduce brake pad wear (I'm thinking yes?)

    WNW2 Update: Just a tease so far. Have others been able to download it?

    Every few minutes PCM is reminding me about this update, and it shows as ready to download, but so far is refusing to do so.

    What is this option for and what is best practice?

    Tried to follow some other threads regarding the question "do you use the power button or key to lock the car" and honestly its a bit confusing. Methinks it really doesn't matter. One thread led to the discussion of this feature in the PCM (first option listed) and I am still not clear what...

    This is what a RWD Taycan will cost you in Hong Kong

    That's a little over $200K USD and there is a nine month waiting list. Still, I've seen a few in my few days here. Many more 911s of course. (Before you tell me I'm not posed with a RWD, I'll beat you to it. The RWD was black and didn't photograph well).

    Bonehead move - poured washer fluid in brake fluid receptacle

    This is what I get for being in a hurry and multi-tasking. I was filling all our cars with wiper fluid. Lifted the frunk lid and only saw a clear receptacle under the hood, so started to pour fluid in it. Wondered why it was basically full, we've had a lot of rain and Ive used a lot of fluid...

    Spotify native vs Carplay

    Has anyone noticed a difference in sound quality CarPlay/Spotify vs Spotify integration?

    Taycan makes the wrong list

    And this is why I no longer look at "lists" that appear in my news feed by writers that have no knowledge of their subject matter and are merely putting up words to support the clickbait that will benefit advertisers. F*cked up.

    If you miss your 911...try this!

    I know many of you were lucky enough to keep your 911. Not in the cards for me. Also you may have discovered this already. It took me a bit longer because I drove my new Taycan like a near-sighted grandma for the first several months. Now that the honeymoon is over, I am back to driving the...

    Tire rotation protocol recommendation?

    I am embarrassed to ask but does anyone know the protocol for this, if any? I know some vehicles have tires that are specifically right and left. I haven't been told to rotate these tires but am now at 10K miles.

    Who is finding the Spotify integration actually works well?

    Well after 4 months I finally got the Spotify integration working. But is it really? I am not sure it was worth the effort. ALL I WANTED was to be able to say "Hey Porsche, play Spotify" so that I would not have to (1) hit Apple Car Play, then (2) Spotify, then (3) Play Liked Songs, then (4)...
