    Traded Taycan 4 CT for EQS 450 4Matic SUV

    I put a couple of hundred miles on a new EQS SUV since Saturday. The Taycan is definitely a better handling vehicle, but the EQS has a lot going for it. I had to give up the 800v architecture and the 2-speed transmission, but the MB does have two of my favorite features - air suspension and...

    Replaced PMC+ with Tesla Gen 3 J1772 Wall Connector

    Here are some photos of my EVSE installed on the post between two garage doors. The first photo shows the PMC+ plugged into a Hubbell NEMA 6-50 outlet. Since I was using a 40 Amp breaker the install was not really safe since the charger was drawing 36 Amps. I replaced the PMC+ with the new...

    Steps to deactivate account when selling Taycan??

    I traded the Taycan CT yesterday. I was reluctant to select the Factory Reset option for fear of going back as far as Transportation Mode. I deleted the HomeLink entries, My account, GPS HOME address, and GPS destinations. I also deleted the credit card on file in the My Porsche account. My...

    Power cord icon in cockpit screen

    I cannot find a reference in the manual to the red power cord icon near the top right edge of the cockpit screen. I was trying a new L2 EVSE and noticed the red icon in the cockpit screen. The ANA6 uPdate was applied recently and I don't recall if this icon was white or red previously. The same...

    The Tesla Gen 3 Wall Connector with J1772 plug is not shown on the Tesla website, but the product does apparently exist. Here's a YouTube link showing the new Gen 3 Wall Connector: This video also compares the J1772 Gen 2 Wall Connector to the latest Gen 3 version. The actual plug on the new...

    Gen 3 Tesla Wall Connector destination charger Access Control feature

    I have yet to see a Gen 3 Tesla Wall Connector in the field being used as a destination charger at a hotel or other commercial location. But, I assume some of the destination chargers are the Gen 3 Wall Connector which features Access Control with three possible settings - All Vehicles, Only...

    Extra 7PP.971.678.xx power cord for PMC+

    I ordered my Taycan CT with a NEMA 6-50 power cord for the PMC+ EVSE. I am planning to visit some friends and family with a NEMA 14-50 outlet in their garages. The various power cords all seem to have the same part number except for the two character suffix. The part number for the 6-50 cable is...

    J1772 plug locked on driver side (non-DC side).

    Had my MY2022 Taycan CT charging last evening as usual with a target of 85%. Charge completed this morning as expected. The only error message on the phone app was, "Unable to reach the set target charge". This happens frequently even though the target charge of 85% was reached. I went to...

    Leaving Frunk ajar when garaging car for a couple of weeks.

    I saw that a few vacationing forum members report returning to find a dead 12v battery after parking the car for a couple of weeks. I am planning to take a two week trip sometime this year and leave my Taycan parked in my personal garage. I was wondering if there is any downside to leaving the...

    Wacky window in left rear door

    Six months ago the driver's door window was misbehaving. Instead of retracting one cm when opening the door and returning to full up upon closing the door it would keep opening an additional one cm every time the door was opened. Yesterday the driver side rear door window is driving me crazy...

    Timer seems to be confused by transition to DST

    Timer was configured with target SoC of 85% at 6:30 am. I checked the charging status at 7:11 am and SoC was 83% with Departure at 7:30 AM. At 7:11 the active Timer was still configured to 85% at 6:30 am. I will check again the next time I charge to determine if the one hour departure time...

    Can anyone direct me to any information on the frunk fuse block that is beneath the plastic panel just behind the storage compartment? I do not believe this fuse block is discussed in the owner's manual.

    How to route a 12v power cable from the cabin to the frunk?

    Have any DIYers routed a cable from the cabin to the frunk through the "firewall" using an existing hole? If so, please describe your approach. I want to avoid drilling any new holes if possible. It's disappointing that Porsche has not included a 12-volt socket in the frunk.

    Powering on/off aftermarket accessories using existing "switches"

    I am planning to install a front view camera on my MY22 CT 4 to facilitate parking at the EA charging stations. My car does not have the factory installed surround view camera option.

    Pin out for bicycle rack power plug in CT rear bumper?

    Has anyone seen a pin out diagram for the bicycle rack power outlet on the left and side of the CT rear bumper. I am wondering if this would be an easy place from which to get power for accessories. Is the socket a standard European one used for trailers? It's possible of course to determine...
