    Ways we enjoy our Taycan Cross Turismo: Kid seats in the back, and off-roading

    Foonf really doesn't fit rear-facing- I tried before I ordered the Fllo. IMHO, if you want to move it back and forth between cars a lot, go with something super light weight. That trumps installation mechanisms, unless you're in a spot where you can use "rigid LATCH." The light seats are super...

    Ways we enjoy our Taycan Cross Turismo: Kid seats in the back, and off-roading

    Foonf just doesn't fit, even in the center. See above, two of us have already tested this. You need a Fllo. And even then, for the left and right it'd only maybe fit if the front seat is way, way forward. But you certainly won't be able to use the anti-rebound bar. The rear-facing center Fllo in...

    Custom Cross Turismo Rear Bike Rack Group Buy

    Hey folks. I have one of Will's racks that he made for us maybe 18 months back. It's got the 2x 1Up bike carriers, all the hardware to install to the Taycan CT, plus the electrical dongle to deactivate the auto reverse braking. I am embarrassed to say that I have used it exactly zero times. It...

    Onboard Charger damaging the battery.....is this legit news?

    I got the 22kW charger from the factory. Mine failed at ~11,000 miles / 2 years, leaving me stranded.

    "California Bill Would Electronically Cap Vehicle Speed to 10 MPH Over Limit" - Article

    Good point. I'd rather see some automated enforcement of phone use than automated enforcement of speed limits. Probably would save more lives, and pedestrians, too.

    "California Bill Would Electronically Cap Vehicle Speed to 10 MPH Over Limit" - Article

    Limiting a car to 25 in a 15mph school zone might make sense, but limiting to 75 in a 65 doesn't. It'd make more sense to limit to something like 150% the speed limit, IMO. People going by my house at 50mph (it's a 25 zone) feels super dangerous, but someone driving in control at 90mph in a 65...

    Dreaded Red Electrical System Error & Poll

    Well, I got the car back. Of course with some kind of nasty grease stain on the wrap that can't be removed :-(. The issue was with the 22kW on-board charger. It told the car there was an error with the electrical ground, and in those circumstances a relay will keep the HV battery pack...

    Dreaded Red Electrical System Error & Poll

    I am interested to know if replacing cells has *ever* resulted in a reliable pack long-term, or if every cell replacements has eventually led to a full pack replacement.

    Yet another electrical system error

    Hah that's not even fast enough to charge your car overnight in many cases! Mine did die while on the charger. Hopefully it was that and not the main battery!

    Yet another electrical system error

    Incase anyone's interested to see what it looks like to put a Taycan on a wheel lift to get it out from a low-clearance underground garage, here ya go. The dillaship just called, it arrived safely.

    Yet another electrical system error

    That thread is discussing the red error. I’ve got the yellow. 🤷‍♂️

    RE-CALL

    I’m with ya. My TCT Turbo was my first Porsche and it’ll be my last. I don’t have time for this stuff, plus it’s my daily driver and family car and left me stranded. This could have been the car that made me a “Porsche guy,” but nope. I’m planning to sell it, go back to a more simple and...

    Yet another electrical system error

    “Electrical system error - service necessary”. 2022 CT Turbo. 11,000 miles. Can’t shift into drive- totally bricked. Left it charging, came back 3 hrs later and saw the error. Let it sit locked a couple times for 20 mins- same error. tow truck to dealer :-(, missed dinner with the family, no...

    Taycan Raw Motor and Shifting Sound Recording (From Laguna Seca Track)

    Cool! As someone who can hear up in to 20kHz... too much high-frequency content for me. But, the shifts sound really cool! I wonder if just doing some kind of transform (fancier than just a low-pass, maybe something that shifts the high frequencies lower) could give a "real" yet more pleasing...

    It does! Here’s one from pre-wrap… So far so good on the wrap. Been on for a year and 10k miles, no issues, and protected me from a few chips no doubt. Plus I think it looks cool with the satin :-)

    Hate for electrics saddens me.

    The difference between economist and engineering thinking. Electricity costs more per kWh/BTU than fuel, so heating your house with fuel is cheaper than heating your house with (resistance) electric. Start to factor in (and mentally internalize) just how much more efficient an electric motor is...

    Hate for electrics saddens me.

    A good article re: overall costs, and particularly energy costs: https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/interactive/2023/electric-vehicle-charging-price-vs-gasoline/?itid=hp-top-table-main_p001_f004 It's almost laughable to me that someone would run a calculation that ended up with...
