  1. What replacement EVSE chargers are you using in place of your PCM charger?

    I have been using my ClipperCreek HCS-60 for 2+ years with great success. Half the price and twice (or more) the charging functionality/capability of the Porsche PMCC. In fact, I will be selling my HCS-60 soon as my Taycan 4S goes back to PFS on June 22. Look for a FS listing here in this...
  2. [North America] - Porsche Official Charging Related Porsche NTSB Article - analysis

    Yeah, looks like I made the list too! Will be interesting to watch. If Porsche had just resisted the urge to re-use 918 Spyder parts, much of this mess could have been avoided. Happily, I run my ClipperCreek HCS60 at 60 amps all day long with exactly ZERO issues and no discernible heat!
  3. [North America] - FAQ: the ultimate guide to the Porsche EVSE PMC+/PMCC/PWCC

    Finally! Somebody found me out! As I recall, I posted many photos of the temps generated using the PMCC and even supplied them to PCNA. They were non-plussed. If one is interested, go dig up the PET for the 918 Spyder. I think you might find some interesting similarities in parts between...
  4. [ANNOUNCED] - PMCC tech advisory : charging rate amperage lowered for "normal" usage of the PMCC (rate reduced by half)

    Dave, If you look at the charger's base, you will see that many of the original parts were sourced out of the 918 program. That effort was never really intended to support a high-amperage EVSE (yes, I know - 40 amps is NOT REALLY that high!) as deemed acceptable for the Taycan. I know that...
  5. where Porsche has room to improve

    Stop recycling parts - especially electronic modules in these cars. It seems that the uncoordinated efforts among Porsche and its supporting manufacturers (either hardware OR software) is really hurting the total ecosystem. Case in point - it seems I got a recycled Comm module (not yet...
  6. [PUSHED March 27th] - 1st Annual early spring Bay Area Taycan fest…March 27 is new date

    @daveo4EV wish I could join you guys! Enjoy, and look forward to being regaled with Tales of Taycan ownership.
  7. Central Computer Failures in Taycans

    Let's be clear..... I paid just as much as anyone else on this forum for my Taycan. I *expect* reliable operation and repairs just like any other owner. I *too* expect performance and reliability for my hard-earned money. I am as frustrated as anyone with the situation. I am not happy with...
  8. Central Computer Failures in Taycans

    I suspect that the module your dealer is referring to is the Communications module in the car. Mine failed last September and was ultimately replaced along with my passenger screen and a Bluetooth module. As I recall, the Communications module is buried in the center console area of the car...
  9. Windshield crack

    NC_Taycan, I'm simply supplying relevant information about the circumstance so fellow Taycan owners can benefit from the experience of others. I'm not opining on the necessity to have to realign cameras - each owner will need to make their own decisions as to whether it's proper or not to...
  10. Windshield crack

    Here in the US (Texas), a standard windshield/windscreen replacement (meaning the non-Thermally Insulated Glass) costs: Windshield replacement (parts, labor and sales tax) - $1,506.12 Alignment with camera calibrations - $754.95 Total cost of a standard (non-insulated) windshield here in TX -...
  11. Porsche Electric Sport Sound

    Since I did not order the Porsche Electric Sport Sound for my car, I am wondering how easy (or difficult) it will be to add to my 4S. https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/sku9j1pse.html The note in the description that caught my eye was the fact that " Dealer installation and activation is...
  12. Texas Residents Electric Vehicle Rebate

    You should check to see about applying for a reservation. You may need to wait until 1-Jan to see if the TCEQ program is renewed for 2021, and then apply. Securing a reservation will help to ensure that you DO get to participate in the program once your car is delivered. The reservation...
  13. Emergency Call function error

    There is an all-purpose electronic module referred to as a "Communications Module" that may be the culprit. Mine is being replaced after I saw similar symptoms. First the Emergency Call function failed as you noted. Then I lost Bluetooth capability even though my phone was connected to the...
  14. Time to Say Goodbye, and Thanks for all the Electrons.

    Don, I am sorry to see you depart us. Your information and insights into the Taycan were extremely useful and helpful. I certainly learned many, many things from your posts. I wish you the absolute best of luck in whatever direction you choose and hope life brings you only good things. I...
  15. Details About Passenger Screen

    Just learned something new today....... The passenger screen is NOT a separate screen from the main PCM screen. In fact, there are TWO versions of the PCM screen in our Taycans - the standard screen in the center of the dashboard that we all know and love, AND a SINGLE, LARGE screen provides...
  16. "WBA Limited" warnings...

    I've had the same messages and my Taycan has been at the dealership for the past two weeks addressing the random WBA warnings as well as otherissues (eSound disappearing, PCM resets and Passenger screen working intermittently). For the WBA issue, I have a response from the Taycan "expert" at...
  17. "WBA Limited" warnings...

    Dee, I've been a Porsche for many years now, and I have no doubt that they will get this fixed. The various things we are all seeing are the direct result of a first generation, ALL-NEW platform for Porsche. The reason I posted my sequence is to alert other owners of these circumstances...
  18. "WBA Limited" warnings...

    Just a word to the watchful....... I received this message as the second in a series before my PCM finally quit and reset itself. 1. E-Sound not available. 3 instances of this error over the course of three weeks - no discernible pattern. Turning car off and back on restored E-Sound. 2. WBA...
  19. one small way in which you can tell Porsche is still learning EV’s

    Having the same experience with my 4S while it is with the dealer for PCM-related issues. They've had the car for one week now, and I have received multiple Alarm alerts from Porsche Connect! BTW, I would say that the current version of PCM software/firmware does seem to be experiencing...
