Turn off "charging schedule" in the Tesla app. Set the desired charging times in the car and the Tesla wall connector will act as a fancy extension cord and charge whenever the car asks for juice. Both J1.1 and J1.2 cars have always followed whatever was set in the car as long as the charging...

I had a 2023 Taycan GTS. Rear world range was right around 240/250 miles at a 100% charge (20" wheels). I swapped into a 2026 Audi S e-tron GT. Identical under the skin and comparable performance to the J1.2 Taycan GTS. Real world range, with 7,000 miles on the car/battery (and 21" wheels), has...

SoH will not be accurate on a J1.2 vehicle. Access to some of the car's data is "security protected" on the new version. On my car the SoH constantly shows 68% despite being brand new. Battery capacity will not display. There is still a ton of useful info (like min and max cell voltages), and...

Plenty of click-bait stories out there but nothing factual (that I have ever come across) that identifies the adapter as a problem. That said, I would not buy a cheap no-name one. The adapters are passive, with the exception of thermal protection. If the dealer gives you a hard time about free...

Your A2Z adapter should work just fine. I used the Lectron adapter multiple times with my Taycan and now Audi e-tron GT. Neither the car nor the Supercharger know what adapter you are using.

I did something very similar. The good news is that although there is a lot of coolant and A/C plumbing above that shield none of it is very close. Your damage does not look like it went very deep so you should be fine. Replacing that cover is nothing more than 10 bolts. Easy to take care of...

They absolutely do fit a J1.1 GTS. Had them on my 2023 GTS. J1.2 might be a problem but J1.1 should not be.

No debate on which car to take. Porsche wins. Loved my Model S (no FSD) but my departed Porsche and current Audi e-tron GT are better road warriors. Innodrive (if you have it) works just fine to allow you to play with the MMI or open a bottle of water. The rest of the time it's more rewarding to...

Please do not rely on EA exclusively. EA is improving but still not reliable enough, nor necessarily spaced where you might want. One big question is do you have the 150kW OBC? If so having access to Tesla superchargers is a game changer. I often do round trips from Jacksonville, FL to...

100% success rate at over 30+ locations with both J1.1 and J1.2. Slow(ish) charging rate, but reliable and always an open tower on trips along the East coast.

Make sure to check your insurance. Most policies have glass coverage. Worst case this is a comprehensive claim with a higher deductible, but you should have some coverage to minimize the pain.

A chip is not a manufacturing defect. Something caused the chip. Might even have happened a while ago and wasn't noticeable until something (usually thermal stress) started the crack. Odd spot but that was impact damage. In 25 years in the repair business I don't think I have ever seen a...

Do a search on this site for Zunsport. Fairly long thread with multiple pictures. Found the one I was referring to: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/i-tried-the-zunsport-grills-and-i-like-them.15866/

Mine (2023 GTS) wasn't that bad but had the same uneven fit against the fender/wing. Pretty cheap plastic in general under the hood. Can't answer the warranty question. Never thought is was bad enough to raise a stink considering it's out of sight.

I did say "yet", which would cover you.

Not quite accurate. ARB6 & 7 were recalls to install the battery monitoring software. Those cars were where no battery defects were known to exist (yet). The other recalls, with the lower vehicle numbers, were issued to cover batteries with some known defect.

I think I need to turn the ad blocker off.

@Miguelst - Might not be your problem (don't know the production year on your car) but the HVAC servo motors are an issue . TSB/Warranty doc from Porsche: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2024/MC-11005598-0001.pdf The fact that it stopped, worked, and stopped again fits a mechanical problem...

Well that's not good. They acknowledge there is a problem yet offer no solution. Elevated to the mother-ship or is the dealer just shrugging their shoulders? It's like the navigation problem in the EU and UK. Zero real help from Porsche. If you are lucky they admit there is a problem but any...

The problem charging almost has to be a car specific problem. I've been up and down the East coast and charged a 15+ different Tesla SCs without an issue. Your on board charger is having a problem with the 400 volt SCs? A software update that needs to be done? I'd like to think the dealer could...
