My 2 Yr Old Taycan Turbo S died in the driveway (after simply backing it out of the garage) with the dreaded "Electrical System Error" (Red). The car would not move (although the Console, Nav, etc appeared fully functional). Seems other folks have had the car towed, but I don't look kindly...

I just got my TurboS back from the slew of firmware updates which were scheduled to applied (2 days). I now note that if I select the "play" screen on the Nav system while listening to SiriusXM that the Artist/Title/Album info which is displayed flashes on/off at some "random" interval. My...

There is no shortage of threads here where Porsche has redirected owners back to the "Experts" at our Dealerships. Only for owners to be absolutely amazed at how little their dealership, or its designated "expert", actually know about the Taycan. I'm guessing you get to be the designated...

I expect I'm just setting myself up for abuse here but... OK, c'mon... (You know you want to!)

Dear Porsche, Why is it that the cover on my center console does not stay open? Why is it that it does not open to a fully vertical position? Why do I need 2 hands and 1 Elbow to access its contents? Why do I need to get out of the car and use a flashlight to actually be able to see the USB...

Dear Porsche, I'ld like to be able to use Homelink without having to close the backup camera screen. You see, I need to open the Garage door to back up out of my garage, and I'ld like to be able to also use the Backup Camera without having to go back and forth closing one to access the other...

Dear Porsche, I wish that I could simply plan an EV trip as follows: 1. Use any/all third part tools as required to map out my trips and all the associated charging stops along the way: I tell you this because, although it would be nice for the Porsche software (Onboard, Smart Phone App...

So, I'm out toolin' around ENJOYING my car and I want to head North cause I know there is a highway in that direction in 20 or 30 miles... Can someone please tell if there is a way to enable a "North Pointer" on the map? ..cause I sure as heck can't find it! No pointer, no compass heading...

Anyone got a good US source for Center Caps for Porsche wheels? (I'm NOT interested in paying the Porsche Tax for them...) I have a set of 20 inch "OZ Racing" wheels for my winter tires and they have a "Carbon Fiber" OZ badge in them. I'm not a fan of fake Carbon Fiber crap and I'ld simply...

Anyone know if you can put 20" wheels on a Turbo S? What is the min bore size to clear the CCB's? (I posted this in another "winter wheel" thread but have not gotten a reply...) II can find 21" winter wheels and tires but the choices are pretty limited. If we can put 20's on the car it would...

Looks like Porsche completely removed the Porsche Connect App for Android. Its no longer available at all in the Play Store. (There is a Vodaphone "Porsche Connect" App but it is a completely different thing).

I'm a fan of the thermal imaging used in the Night Vision Assist technology. I've had it in several of my BMW's and its always been very helpful when driving early in the morning in rural areas (Wisconsin, Upstate NY, Virginia). I've always enabled the Night Vision displayso I could watch for...

I had some issues with my Radar Detector picking up radar from the front of the vehicle through the insulated glass even when I could see the radar gun pointed straight at me. Apparently the thermal glass won't allow any radar signals to pass through. I had my Valentine 1 mounted to the right...

I've received several "WBA Limited" messages on the instrument display over the last week. (Warning and Brake Assist) The messages appear for a minute or so and then go away. Anyone know what might be causing this and if its a "routine issue" like so much other stuff we seem to be...

I just finished a 1400 mile trip with my Taycan Turbo S in two days of travel. I did a lot of research up front and was pretty well prepared. I read @louv's ENTIRE trip thread. The Taycan is my fourth EV in the last 6 years (of which I still have my BMW i8 and Tesla Model-X) and I've never...

I have the thermally/acoustically insulated glass option. I just finished a 1400 mile trip and I have a few observations that folks might be interested in... 1. Toll Transponders: I mounted an IPASS transponder (EZPass compatible) in one of the designated areas on my windshield (the little...

I did a 1400 mile road trip over the last 3 days. Specifically to get a feel for the planning and execution of a long distance trip and all the associated charging requirements on the open road. I have a question... Anyone know how to turn off the Porsche Intelligent Range Manager? I'm tired...

Here is another use for the 3D Printed Phone Mount. Adding a whole 'nother 15" display to the car! After having SO MANY ISSUES with the Andoid versions of the Porsche Connect and Porsche Charging NA apps I figured maybe I should bring my iPad so I also have access to the IOS versions on my...

I'm getting ready to run a 1400 mile trip early next week. I've owned 4 EV's now and this will be the first one to ever go out on a "real" Road Trip. I simply want to get personal experience with on the "on-road" charging requirements and experience... So, I've mapped out my trip (out and...
