    TSB: Vehicle Plug does not Lock and the Charging Process Cannot be Started - March 4, 2024

    This happened to me one time, right after I got my Taycan in 2022. I figured it out quickly that the charge handle wasn’t fully in the slot. Since then, I’ll give it a firm shove so that it clicks in place. Never had the problem again

    Two year service

    My 2022 has 5000 miles on it. If I don’t get the two-year service done, does that void my warranty? And how much grace period after the 2 years from the date I took delivery do I have to get the service done?

    How many would buy again?

    I think it probably for most people boils down to whether they want/insist on an EV. I do, so absolutely I'd buy again because IMHO there isn't a better EV on the market. Yes I'd rather the depreciation hit be less, but the high depreciation for all EV's as well as most luxury cars in general is...

    What Home Power Washer Do You Use?

    I use a gas power washer, not sure what brand, but with the white head that so far doesn't damage anything. First I spray just with water and that adapter to knock off dirt/mud, then I use this foam canon - amazingly inexpensive and works WAY BETTER than the much more expensive Chemical Guys...

    About to go away for 9 months… what’s the best % to leave the car in charge?

    Here's the charger I used. There is no setting, you just attach the charger to the positive and negative terminals of the battery under the hood, and that's it - the charger knows what you're charging it to and handles the rest automatically. Easy peezy Amazon.com: CTEK 56-926 LITHIUM US |...

    About to go away for 9 months… what’s the best % to leave the car in charge?

    I leave mine for 6 months every year. Let it go below 50% then put on charger set to 50% charge, put lithium trickle charger on the 12 volt battery and overinflated tires 3 to 5 pounds each. Done

    oh I didn't hear that part, I skipped through the video and missed it. But if that's what he said, yes it's sort of a troll-y comment

    Taycan GTS - Gentian Blue or Carmine Red?

    home screen died

    I started my car and the home screen is out - replaced with a glowing PORSCHE logo. I shut down and restarted a couple of times, still same problem. Thoughts?

    New house and new taycan - slow charging

    I never noticed this before but my Porsche charger is likewise charging at only 20amps. I looked at both the charger and on the car display screen and don't see a plug icon. Any suggestions how to get my charge up to 40 amps? I've got the 50 amp breaker/wiring to my panel with the NEMA outlet...

    status of Taycan going into neutral/park

    Hi, I've been away from my RWD which has been sitting in the garage since end of October (plugged in at 50% with a LIB trickle charger on the aux battery), and I'll be returning to it beginning of April. Fingers crossed it drives/operates same as when I left it. Question: it's been a while...
