The RHD variants were axed because there aren't enough sales to justify the cost of the additional tooling. Steer by wire doesn't change the need for a totally revised dashboard assembly and wiring harness.

We had already determined to buy an EV, the Taycan was simply the most practical choice.

In the letter from Porsche, they offered a service voucher if you don't need a replacement. Has anyone gone with that?

Porsche and Audi have taken a "repeatable performance" stance in the tuning of the cars. If the battery is at optimal temperature and near full charge, the maximum amperage you can draw from it is higher than if it's cold and at a lower charge level. Porsche decided they want the same...

As has been mentioned there's the assignable button on the steering wheel. I don't see Porsche offering it as a free upgrade, but I do see them offering it as a feature on demand.

Porsche can address this, and probably should. They've always been good about supporting and upgrading older models. I'm unsure how plug and play it would be, but offering a V2 battery upgrade, even if it's absurdly expensive would be a way to indicate they have a long term commitment to their...

The Taycan's charging management is based around profiles (which are location based) and timers. There is a "minimum charge" setting in each profile and it isn't obvious what that means. Let's say I have a "home" profile tied to my home that says the best time to charge is between 11:00 PM and...

It resets to off every time because the lift off recuperation setting affects emissions (such as they are in an EV) and allowing it to be changed permanently would be an illegal emissions defeat device. Porsche is pretty adamantly against one-pedal driving and they seem to have the data showing...

I get around this by setting my EVSE (Wallbox Pulsar Plus) to only charge after 11:00 PM when lower rates start. Both the app and car report a charging error but it does start to charge after 11 when the low rates start. This is the error it's giving me right now. I've heard that with some...

Because I didn't realize that the heated wheel is now standard. As I was trying to replicate our current build there was no heated wheel option, which we paid $280 for. Somehow, I just couldn't imagine Porsche not having everything a la carte and actually including that with the base build.

They have in the past defined it as a limousine. Which is good for window tinting in Minnesota. Passenger cars are limited to 50% tint on all windows. Trucks, and limousines can have arbitrarily dark tint behind the driver. That let us tint the rear windows a bit more so it's just that much...

The heated steering wheel is also requires Sport Chrono.

It took a couple of months after purchase before ALK and Innodrive showed up in features on demand for our car.

Yeah, I let the browser generate a strong password for the Porsche account. It was, let's say fun, typing it in when taking delivery. "No, it's 6&wL... not 6&Wl..."

The day we picked up the car, with already enough power to get home, the first thing we did was visit an EA station to try out the public charging experience. Plug and Charge did not work because apparently it's not enabled by default. Rather than dig through PCM menus I swiped a card and...

Totally normal. There are 3 temperature sensors in each battery module. That's why you see every third one much higher. Based on my observation I think the third one in each group is the one that's closest to the bottom of the module where the heat transfer takes place. This is my car while...

I suspect the two speed transmission still helps with high speed cruising efficiency. Not particularly helpful in most markets, but given the home market that's likely one of their goals.

But, there will be new NF0 EV specific tires available.

I disagree. It looks to me that someone wanted the lights with the wiring harness intact. The right side show's a lot of experimental cutting including what looks like a hole in the top so they could reach inside and unplug the light. On the left side they seem to have learned their lesson and...

I'm having trouble wrapping my head around this. The battery is under warranty, get it replaced under warranty. Why worry about keeping it limping along when you can get it fixed and likely get a loaner while it's in the shop.
