Update: dealer has had my car for two working days now and have no idea why the alarm keeps ringing. They called to say they had to reach out to Germany for direction. This is the first major problem I’ve had with the Taycan, but not boding well at all.

I see Porsche calls that recall ARA4. Do they use different internal codes for US vs Germany or is it another related (but separate) recall?

The KBA numbers quoted, 013423 and 013145, link to recall, APB5. https://car-recalls.eu/porsche-taycan-cell-defects-high-voltage-battery-kba/

I just ran into an alarm issue this morning. The alarm rings the second I press the button to lock the car. I’ve turned off interior monitoring, double tap reset of pcm, and even just turning off/on the car and going for a spin. Nothing works. In fact I can’t even leave it unlocked because it...

I have a forward facing Britax and a booster. It’s a really tight fit just to reach into the middle to grab something from the car seat side. I can’t imagine how you could possibly squeeze in to strap your child into the middle rear seat even if you managed to install the seat! Especially if...

That doesn’t sound like the sport sound? I spec’d it on my build but rarely used it. I turned it on today to compare, but it sounds different to me. Is this an aftermarket mod?

Thanks - feel a bit silly now! I guess I haven’t gassed up in a while and forgot what it’s like. Glad I’m driving an EV now!

Interesting. I guess it’s been a bit of an anomaly that I’ve never paid for gas on loaners before another dealer! Still bugs me that they charged me for more gallons than I could’ve used; I’ll chalk it up to sloppiness than just outright scummy behavior.

Congrats - what a beaut. Certainly one of my favorites from my teenage years, fried egg headlights and all.

I finally brought in my Taycan for a bunch of recalls and at the advice of the service manager, arranged for a loaner in case they had to hold my vehicle if it failed the battery test. They gave me a base Macan for about 24 hours; after returning the car they actually sent me a bill for $13 of...

The R3 looks awesome. It has a nice side profile, slightly reminiscent to me of the MKII Golf in a very good way.

I think the whole industry is facing pressure as all the incentives basically pulled forward all the demand for EVs. Anyways the Taycan has been an awesome and I assumed I’d face ridiculous depreciation - I lost 87% when I sold my 335 convertible a few years ago. I know 911s hold value well but...

I have surround view and remote park but I don’t have side view. I didnt know such a thing existed!

I am going in for another recall and the dealer requested I bring my old cables in. Does the rebate have to be for a charger purchased after the recall? Or can I claim the one I already have (I bought a Tesla wall connector since day 1 given the warnings here!)

The profile basically tells your car to charge immediately to x% (85% in your example). With the timer, if you set y% in the timer, it will charge to y% at the specified time but does NOT stop charging. I.E- if you set the timer to 7:30am to 85%, it will get to 85% at 7:30 but will keep on...

The OZ wheels look amazing on your CT! Are all the ride heights lowered to match a GTS? Or just the “lowered”/“low” settings? Interesting to hear that a dealer made the change.

Taycan 4S, Cross Turismo. North NJ. 1) Factory SoH: Unknown 2) Current SoH: 88.9% 3) Current mileage: 2435 miles 4) kWh DC charging: never dc charged (unsure if dealer ever did one but I doubt it!) 5) Build date: Q2/2023, delivered Q2/2023 Surprised by the low SoH! I also drive like a grandma...

I love mine and would buy again. Nothing I’d change about my car but would probably consider PTS more seriously and spring for different wheels. Though I really do like frozen berry and would probably pick a similar color anyways.

I guess it depends what your ice vehicle is but 33 mpg is relatively low gas consumption and similar to a Corolla, Civic etc. A 911 is rated for 18/20 mpg. My own ICE vehicle, a xc90, gets around 21mpg on local highways. Same trip for me on my 4S takes about 2.8mi/kwh.
