    Anyone Found a Good Indoor Car Cover?

    One that’s cheaper than the Porsche cover from Suncoast? I may be storing my car for a while and was looking around for an indoor cover that was decent but didn’t cost $350+.

    Won’t Shift Out Of First Gear?

    I think I’ve got a gremlin in my car… Latest is that my car will not shift out of first gear in sport mode. It’s has always shifted at 49 mph. Today I noticed a whine from the rear at 58 and realized it was holding first gear. Did some checks back and forth to normal mode and sure enough, it...

    Window Motor / Regulator Issues Anyone?

    Had a strange issue yesterday; wondering if anyone’s had a similar experience. Rolled my window down at a guard gate. When I tried to roll it up, it wouldn’t move at all. Tried the switch 3-4 times, and finally on the fourth try it went up very slowly. Tested it out later when I got home and...

    Brake lights during recuperation?

    On our Taycans, when recuperation is active and you lift off the accelerator, do the brake lights come on or do you have to actually have to depress the brake pedal to get brake lights?

    School Me on Preheating the Battery

    So I’ve read some of the posts on here on the topic, but not sure exactly what to do or if I’m doing it right. My understanding was that if you selected a charger as a destination in the app/nav and then used route guidance, the car would automatically pre-heat the battery. I just did a test...

    Range Estimate + Route in Nav = Total Inaccuracy

    So, one of the other interesting things about my road trip was how inaccurate the range estimate became once I input a destination into the Nav. Every time I put in a destination and started route guidance, it shaved 15-20% off the range estimate, which I assumed was due to things like...

    First Road Trip Musings/Charging Infrastructure is a Joke

    So, I just took my first road trip in the 22 Taycan 4S, which consisted of 450 miles each way and then a weeks worth of driving around the city in between. The car was pretty flawless and charging went okay, but at the end of it all I was struck with they feeling that the way we’re going about...

    Water Dripping Into Car

    So we’re having one of our ten days of annual rain this weekend and I was reminded of something that really bugs me about my Taycan. When the car is really wet and you open any door or the trunk, water just drops right into the car. Roll the window down a bit, a river of water flows right into...

    Is the My Porsche App Really Necessary?

    Serious question. If I don’t really use it for anything, do I need it at all? The reason I ask is that I’m still on Porsche Connect, which I don’t use for anything, and was trying to set up MyPorsche in advance of the Connect shutdown. Of course rather than just transferring my car over, it...

    'Place Hands on Wheel' Message

    My relatively new '22 T4S is giving me this red alarm message and slowing the car abruptly when I'm cruising on the freeway sometimes, all while I have one or both hands firmly on the wheel. If I take a 50+ mile drive on the freeway, I'll get it 2-3 times when cruising at speed. Anyone else...
