I am so happy that now I am not only member of the broken heater group but also the broken onboard charger group. We are leaving on holiday tomorrow. Trip and hotels planned for chargers etc. No power in the house when I woke up this morning. Taycan stopped charging at 4 am around 70 % soc...

Third time I charged at the lounge in Bingen am Rhein. It is at a good location for my charge stops. Had to be in Tubingen to give a lecture Good charge speeds Six chargers. Up till now I was alone or just one other Taycan charging. Because it is Porsche only even on busy days it is a...

Short trip to Germany. Booked a hotel with lots of 22 kw charger to charger over night. I knew it also had 8 Tesla SC. On arrival I saw they were V4 and of course had to try. It was actually cheaper per kWh than the 22 kw alternative. arrived with 50 % SoC and 30 Celsius battery temp. Max was...

I knew that I could use Tom Tom in CarPlay simultaneously with PCM. Today I found out it also works with ABRP. Enter a route in ABRP. Then push the blue pcm button. PCM navigation will show and can start navigation. When pushing the CarPlay button the central screen will switch back to ABRP the...

Anyone has has this. Got an error message that the automatic braking function , headlight etc were not fonctioning and to clean the sensor. I had this before with snow / mud etc. now however it was caused by fog inside the sensor behind the windshield. only a short drive maybe just needs some...

Does anyone have experience with AC charging overnight outside when it is snowing? Any issues with snow in the charge port Just wipe off the snow in the morand the door will close? I read somewhere the charge ports are heated. Don’t know if it is correct. Cover the cable with something ? A...

My car had the WPN8 update this week while in for something else. I was looking for differences. Not sure if they are new. One is a suggestion for navigation. The other is showing the route before starting navigation. I don’t know if they are new can’t compare anymore. The second one I didn’t...

The app functionality changed a couple of weeks ago. For the trip planner it is now possible to enter a SoC at arrival. Trip planning isn’t accurate anymore. For example it plans 3 stops at a 1000 km trip and one leg is 320 km with 71% used battery charge (+/- 450 km range on 100%). This is...

I had some water in the trunk of my CT this summer after heavy rain. Not sure if it was dripping from the trunk lid or a leak. didn’t do any driving in the rain until this week. Monday I had some water drops on the floor and one of the shelf hooks had water drops. Dryed it and today I checked...

We visited the Austrian alps 4 times last 2 years. Twice in the winter and twice in the summer. 20 inch summer tires and 20 inch winter tires. Fully loaded. Two adults and 2 kids. Both summer trips were over Germany and approximately the same roads. Last year with roofbox, this year without...

Anyone using the PUMP app for route planning ? I just rediscovered this app. It has a very nice way of showing the chargers along the way. It shows the planned chargers and how much are free and the charger speed. But if you zoom on the route you can also see the ones directly on the chosen...

We took a trip to the UK for 3 days. First time with the car in the UK. Used the tunnel. B&B around Hastings and did some short day trips. First of all great country. Met some very nice people with our dog and with the EV. Both attract similar minded people. Our trip from Belgium to Calais is...

I have charged at Tesla 3 times now. I didn’t get the charge speeds I was expecting. The battery was pre heated and low SoC at two charges. first I got around 100 Kw on a 250 Kw charger the second time 60 Kw. First time wasn’t a big problem because we wanted to have dinner for 45 minutes...

I was washing my car today and the right head light was moving a bit when drying it with a towel. The left is not doing this. I have a humming resonating sound between 35 and 60 kmh in all drive modes and both in first and second gear. It appears that road surface has an influence in the volume...

We left on 25/12 for a short ski to the Austrian Alps and returned today. Some info about the trip: 4 persons, no roofbox (packed light), 20 inch winter wheels. Ambient temperatures around 10 degrees C, too high for the time of year. 25/12 we drove 600 Km to Stuttgart. Average 100 Km/h, 30,2...

I know there are a lot of posts on this subject but I still want to share my experience and how my dealer is going to take care of this. Since yesterday evening my heater stopped working. Quick search on the forum showed there is no quick fix. Tried turning AC on en off, max cool max heat...

I will be planning a trip to the alps in December. Anyone who did a long cold trip last winter? I know the range will go down with decreasing temperatures. I just wonder if it would be different on a long trip. Once the battery is warmed up it will be kept warm by driving 120-130 Km/h for a...

We drove from Lake Como to Austria today. In stead of going by the highway I decided to take the Stelvio. I was fortunate today because the road was relatively calm for a Saturday. Also nice experience taking the Taghetto from Menaggio to Varenna. Lots of attention for the Taycan. Great car for...

Preparing for holidays and put on my roofrack and box for the first time. Installing the wingbars isn’t difficult but it takes a bit of time. To be sure they are in correct position I put them at the level of the little holes and measured the distance from the front end of the rails to be sure...

Yesterday I was driving back to our hotel in Deauville. In Le Havre the situation with exits is complex befor going on the bridges (port and pond de Normandy for example) I went wrong 2 times and felt really stupid. Second time I had to stay the high way for 8 km for the next exit to turn...
