The lease on my 2020 Taycan 4S was scheduled to end in June 2023. I leased the car (vs. buying it) because I ordered it sight unseen since there were no Taycans produced at the time (I had the first US 4S Taycan on this forum), and as Porsche's first EV, I didn't want to take the risk of it...

I have a brand new Taycan Sunshade that I purchased from Suncoast Parts but never used. It is an OEM Porsche part that is still in the box. I wound up installing nano ceramic tint to all of the windows in my Taycan to help with the IR heat, including the windshield so I did not need the...

I am doing another one of my long distance drives from Georgia to Atlanta Connecticut. Today's leg was 400 miles to Raleigh, North Carolina. I noticed that as one of the feature updates, now when you use the Porsche Charging Planner with the factory navigation to select an Electrify America...

Today I drove 553 miles from Connecticut to Durham, North Carolina. I stopped at 4 Electrify America chargers (Wawa Store - New Castle, Delaware), (Simon Arundel Mills - Hanover, Maryland), (Walmart - Stafford, Virginia), (Walmart - Henderson, North Carolina). I have had pretty good luck at EA...

I recently completed a long distance road trip. I planned the trip with a layover to avoid using the Electrify America chargers in the middle of the night in a deserted Walmart parking lot. We had some friendly banter on the forum about stopping at Walmarts during off hours. I am glad that I...

Today I drove leg 1 of my road trip from Georgia to Connecticut. My Taycan 4S has the 21 inch Mission E wheels. My first day was 376 miles (610 km) to Durham, North Carolina. The weather was dry but windy at 39 F (4 C). The temperature reached 45 F (7 C) in the middle of the day, but dropped...

I saw @louv suggestion to use an old BMW M5 net for the Taycan since Porsche has not yet released one for our cars. https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/storage-space-under-centre-console.2328/page-3#post-32463 I bought an aftermarket BMW 5 series net on Amazon for US$23. I have the...

For anyone who has electric service with Georgia Power there is a rebate program for installing an EV charger at home. I submitted my work order from the electrician for the 50 Amp breaker and NEMA 14-50 receptacle together with a copy of the Taycan window sticker itemizing the Porsche Mobile...

This week I received my new Valentine 1 Gen 2 radar detector. I wanted to hardwire it, but didn't want to use the mirror tap. I decided to use a fuse tap to power the V2G2. The fuse box is located in the driver's footwell for US cars. Row C, slot 8 is the fuse for the Interior Mirror. The...

I have been away for a month so driving my Taycan again reminded me just how much fun it was to drive. Yesterday at a light a guy on a crotch rocket asked me to roll down my window. He wanted to know what I was driving and commented that he never saw a car accelerate so quickly while already at...

I was away for a few weeks. I checked the mailbox tonight and found a large box from Porsche. Inside was a USB Porsche Charger.

For those folks who want another choice other than Weathertech mats, Suncoast Parts has Porsche all weather mats available. https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/skutayrub.html

Yesterday I completed a two day trip from Connecticut to Georgia. I traveled just under 1000 miles. The Taycan is an awesome car. On day 1, I drove 10 hours to Durham, NC. The Porsche Charging Planner plotted two stops at Electrify America 350 kWh chargers. Both stops were uneventful. I...

The Porsche Good To Know app describes Auto Overrun Recuperation as "variable adaptation of overrun recuperation based on data relating to the area around the vehicle." I have used the setting around town, and with COVID-19 the traffic on the highway has been lighter than usual. I had no idea...

When I ordered my Taycan I didn't order the painted key fobs. After I took delivery, I decided that a key fob to match the car might be nice. Most of the aftermarket options were disappointing. First issue was that most of the cheap covers on the internet were for the Porsche version 1 key...

The two items that annoy me on US cars are the amber turn signal markers and the silly safety decals on the sun visors. I replaced the amber markers with the clear markers earlier this week. Today I tackled the sun visors. The decals are very easy to remove on some cars. On my Aston, you...
