    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?

    Any thoughts on what is normal mileage life for tires on a RWD? And roughly what do 20” replacement tires cost?

    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...

    Where are 12 V battery terminals????

    I’m leaving in a couple of hours and will be leaving my. Taycan garaged until early spring. I have a lithium 12 V trickle charger, but cannot for the life of me find the charging terminals.

    Interior monitoring with 12 volt on trickle charger

    I'm leaving my Taycan in my garage in NC for 6 months. In addition to overinflating the tires by abut 3 pounds each and plugging in the charger with a 50% max charge setting, I'm also putting my 12 volt battery on a lithium 12 volt trickle charger. Question: given that I'm using the trickle...

    long term charging - updated question

    back in May I posted a question about what to do when I leave my Taycan in the garage from beginning of November through middle of April. After reading various responses and also talking the Porsche dealer (who didn't have a lot of information) and also looking at similar information on the BMW...

    charge timer question

    I've had my RWD since May 1. At that time I watched/read all the steps for setting up a timer so that I could take advantage of cheaper electric rates after midnight. And I also have the charge program set to charge up to 85%. Turns out there isn't a discounted electric rate so I'd like to get...

    Do I need the new software update?

    I have a 2022 RWD. Just received a notice from Porsche that I’m entitled to the software upgrade. my dealer is not close by, and I have to wait at the dealership for about two hours for them to apply the update. I’ve already got the latest PCM so I’m questioning whether I really need to get this...

    Still no FOB

    Hi took delivery of my 2022 Taycan at the beginning of May, and at that time only received one fob. I still haven’t received the second one, and my dealer has no idea if/when i’ll get my second one. i’m wondering if other owners have received their second fob.

    Drive option memory issue

    I've had my 2022 RWD for about 2.5 months. Until now, whenever the car turned on as soon as I entered it, my seat/steering wheel/mirror selections would automatically kick in. However in the last few days, the car turns on when I get in, but shoe options don't always kick in, and when they...

    2 minor annoyances

    prefatory comment: I absolutely love my 2022 RWD, finest car I've ever driven. Now: 1. let's say the car is unlocked, and keys are in the house. I get inside the car and presto everything turns on as though I was ready to drive away, including AC and radio and lights. So I press and hold the...

I thought when it is fully charged I should have just over 300 miles of range. however when I charge it to 85%, The car says I only have 207 miles of range - see below. is it possible that I don’t actually have the...

    electric shock??!!!

    last night my husband was exiting the car on our way to a restaurant. He already had the door open but touched something on his passenger door near the vicinity of the door handle and trim above it, and says he got a really significant shock. It had been raining all day, and possibly there was...

    Leaving my Taycan for 6 months. Leave it plugged in or not?

    At end of October when we leave our home in NC, my Taycan will stay in the garage. I'm wondering if I should leave it plugged in or not. I only charge it to 85%. I could (try, not sure I'll do it correctly) to set a profile that tells it to charge when it hits 25%. Or is that unnecessary?

    need help with PMCC

    Per a previous post expressing confusion setting my car to a schedule during which it would charge (and only up to 85%), I was told skip trying to set a schedule because it's so confusing/convoluted, and instead just set a timer that I want it to finish charging by 6:30 am to 85%, and then...

    RWD vs S

    Awaiting delivery of my RWD which I finally got last week, I had been thinking about my choice of RWD, wondering if I should have sprung the additional dollars for the S and whether I'd be dissatisfied with just the power of the RWD. Then I got my car. Initially when pushing pedal to the floor...

    Drive Mode gripe

    I've got a RWD Taycan. I like to drive it in sport mode with normal suspension. I make those selections, and after I end my drive, stop the car and later restart it, the drive and suspension modes have both defaulted back to normal. I'm guessing there's no way to make it hold my selections of...

    mileage question

    So I took delivery of my Taycan this week, I'm over the moon with it. It floats in silence with energy to spare, and it's fit and finish is better than any other car I've owned. BUT I notice that the use of mileage as shown on my display doesn't match actual miles driven. For example, today I...

    Apple Car Play - question

    Is it possible to use Apple Car Play in the car but with phone, text and email deactivated? Basically, if I use Apple Car Play at all I only want to use my Apple Music subscription and on rare occasions Apple Maps. I have my Apple Music account loaded into PCM, but I can't shuffle songs (unless...

    initial thoughts on new Taycan RWD

    I took delivery yesterday. Because of the inability to order while the Taycan factories are shut down, I searched existing new inventory and found what I wanted including battery plus, but it didn't include adaptive air suspension that I also wanted. Before I took delivery, I admit I had...
