Hi all Well I started to talk about this in another thread but it isn't really elegant to mix issues in foreign threads and hijack the conversation so I'm opening a new one. Last Friday I was picking up my kids. While en route, the car displayed a yellow error on the dashboard stating "Chassis...

So Charged yesterday at a 50kW charger. Up to 98%. Made an uneventful trip to Spain and back. Today I was at 50% so went for lunch to another city. Arrived there with about 25%. Had lunch then went to a store. Left with about 13%. This is when my ordeal started. I knew there was a 100kw...

Hi folks. Haven't been around lately. Enjoying my Taycan, working, blah blah, blah. Story of my life. Anyway. Yesterday I went with my wife to another town for lunch. After lunch we had to go to a supermarket and since I knew it had a 60kw charger and I was at 16% I thought I'd charge up while...

I somewhat knew that eventually I would find all sorts of weird issues with the charging network but until now, I've only dealt with broken chargers, chargers that reset themselves or chargers that are offline or with a broken rfid reader. Nothing specific to the Taycan... Until today. I'll...

August The month many in Portugal live for but for some, the dreadiest month of them all. It's the tourist high season. Towns of 50k inhabitants suddently become a sea of 2 million tourists. And some even bring their EVs. You're either happy visiting the Algarve or you're about to have a stroke...

I grew up in a nice family vila with a 3 car garage that was aiways empty. My parents would usually leave their cars on the driveway as it was "easier" and "convenient" then parking the cars inside the garage. My mother, who was a bit cleaning obsessed, would regularly complain about the house...

So... I finally got my first issue albeit so far it was a one-time occurrence so maybe just a quirk, who knows. Posting here to know if I'm the only person in the world having experienced this or not. Context: Yesterday I did a 200km+ return trip from Seville to the Algarve. It was around 37C...

Soooo I've always been a lanyard fan. Not really because of aesthetics but practicality especially during summer times when I go around in flip flops and shorts. Not many pockets on me. I'm also terrible at locating my keys so the "added" volume makes it easier to spot them. I do keep my home...

For years I've noticed a certain courtesy among Mercedes drivers (being myself one), specially on intersections, merge lanes etc. Never understood if it was conscious or subconscious but over the years, there has been a measurable positive difference between the amount of MB drivers that have...

Hi So I only have the car for a few weeks and about 1300km traveled. During that time I did my fair share of accelerations, brakings, change of speeds, recoveries etc. Everything normal and predictable. Today I was on a secondary road trailing behind a group of 4 or 5 cars at around 85-90km/h...

I don't know what chargers say worldwide when there's a problem but today I had my first charging hiccup: went for a ride to a town nearby. Arrived with 28% SoC. Had lunch then, when wife went to a shopping mall, I found a great excuse to not follow along: "You go honey, I have to charge the...

Hi Never saw this commented on the forum (and I've been a pretty avid reader in the last months while waiting for the car). Basically, what happens is that I never have the same battery level between when I go to sleep and when I wake up the next day. Assuming my wife isn't taking the car...

Hi So, as I suspected, my 12 year old no name OBDII dongle can't connect to the Taycan's ECU. The phone app connects to the dongle, car pops up the high voltage is in use warning but then the dongle fails to negotiate communication with the ECU. I guess it's time for a new dongle. I do want...

I'm baffled. I spent 15 min routing my usb-c cable (2m 100W max) from the front left side of the vehicle (to have the phone on the left of the steering wheel (so it's out of the way, charging and making it almost impossible for me to use it while in the car - I'm dextrous. Yes I did this on...

Quick stupid question after noticing my car "sometimes" gives a very short honk when lock the car by pressing the corresponding Key on the fob. It's not always which is the puzzling part. I noticed it first time yesterday but my app notified me right door and window were open (Wife still too...

I need a little hand/help I'm trying to get familiar with my new Taycan and despite having studied ad nauseum most features over the months I was waiting for delivery, 'hands on practice' has started to yield new questions which never occurred to me while reading the "theory". One of those...

Hi all Since last December I wanted to post in the delivery thread. Unfortunately due to some heater delays (Who needs a heater in the Algarve anyway?), I never could... until now! So, since we're at the end of April, I'm just in time for a new thread! My SA informed me this morning that my...

Sooo I went to my usual long known tyre shop to swap the rear tyres of my MB. While I was waiting, I asked the owner if he had ordered the Hankook Ventus S iON EV tyres for me (as I'm planning to swap my 19'' to 21'' on my Taycan when it arrives). He said they were on backorder but asked me...

I'm a bit confused now. I'm expecting my T soon. I was a bit bored so I went through the official Porsche "good to know" videos. The girl's visual might have contributed for me to go through all the videos 🤣 Anyway, I'm 99% sure that in the charging video, there's a point where she was...

Hi. I just realized we don't have access to SiriusXM in Europe. With what source does the Taycan come with in Europe? Haven't seen it mentioned anywhere.
