  1. Replacement key case

    I lost my key and have another one on order. I had a cool replacement case on it that I'd also like to replace. It made the key look like my white Taycan. I've been searching, and can't find any of these, and I can't figure out where I got it. Anyone know where you can get these?
  2. Loud noise coming from car while charging!

    There is a very loud noise coming from my car, it's charging right now in the garage. Sounds like a fan. Any idea what this is? I heard it earlier this week once when I pulled into the garage, but it stopped when I turned the car off and I ignored it. I'm planning on a long drive tomorrow...
  3. Seatbelt warning after update

    I just had the latest patch applied to my Turbo, and after I got the car back there is a problem with the passenger seatbelt. The seatbelt warning goes off when someone is in the seat, even though they do have their seatbelt fastened. The dinging goes on for a couple of minutes until it gives...
  4. Weird noise while charging!

    I just went into my garage, where I had my 2020 Turbo on the charger. There was a pretty loud "chugga-chugga" noise coming from the car. I disconnected the charging plug and plugged it back in, and the noise went away. Anyone know what that was? I've never seen that before. If it happens...
  5. Cleaning ventilated seats

    This is my first car with ventilated seats. And I’m having a problem I anticipated that I would have. Dirt and debris gets into the perforations. Any suggestions on how to clean it? I’ve tried to vacuum, but it doesn’t pull out the dirt.
  6. Carplay annoyances

    A couple things really bug me about carplay: * When the car connects to my phone, the car beeps. It sounds like some kind of warning alarm. What's up with that? Does the car really need to tell you carplay connected? No. Cars don't beep when bluetooth connects, how is that any different...
  7. Why does it say “sport” on my dashboard?

    Anyone know what this means, in the lower right corner? I am in normal mode.
  8. Porsche connect contract

    I just got an email from Porsche saying "The contract for your Porsche Connect Services package "Porsche Charging Service (Taycan)" will end automatically shortly." Does anyone know what this is? If I try to renew it, it takes me to a screen where I can renew for 12 months, and the cost is $0...
  9. Is it safe to leave your key in the car?

    I've never left my key in the car, for fear of it somehow causing the 12v battery drain issue. But it's what I'd prefer to do when I leave the car in the garage. What do you think? With the latest software patch, is it now safe to leave the key in the car?
  10. Recall campaign updates crashing

    My dealer has had my car for a week and a half to apply the recall update. They say they are halfway through the six steps, and now it keeps crashing. They’ve had to reach out to Porsche and are waiting to hear back. Anyone else have this problem with the update?
  11. Trunk closing issues

    My trunk often won’t close because it thinks something is blocking it. Even a grocery bag, which it could easily close on top of, causes the trunk to pop back up when I try to close it. Also, if I press the button that closes the trunk and locks the car, and then walk away, the truck will only...
  12. Got pulled over today…

    For not having a front license plate. The cop was very nice - he gave me just a warning, he said it was because he liked my car. ;-) I wonder if Taycan power would work for speeding tickets....?
  13. Airbag system error - Service required

    This just came up. Anyone seen this or know how easy it will be for my dealer to fix?
  14. Porsch driving experience?

    I got invited to a “Porsche driving experience” at a local track. Does anyone know what this is exactly? Sounds like it could be fun, but I’m wondering how much driving time you actually get, versus standing around and waiting for your return.
  15. What is A/C?

    The climate settings screen on the Taycan has an option for "A/C", which can be turned on or off. Anyone know what that is? In other cars I've had, there was something similar, used to tell the car that you wanted cooling as opposed to heating. But when A/C is on in my Taycan, warm air still...
  16. Avoiding dreaded 12 volt battery issue during prolonged absence?

    I think I've seen this discussed here, but forget what people said. I'm going to be away from my car for a month. I want to avoid the dreaded 12 volt battery issue. How should I leave the car, does it matter? Locked? Unlocked? On the charger or off? Inside a hermetically sealed Faraday cage?
  17. For residents of the US and the UK

    It might be my imagination, but it seems there are way more UK resident Taycan owners relative to the US, than you'd expect based on the relative populations. At least on this forum. Not sure what this means, but if I'm right, it's mildly interesting. Or maybe I'm wrong. At the very least...
  18. Yet another wheel thread (Savini SV-F3 winter wheels)

    I (finally) mounted my winter wheels. I got the Savini SF-F3 from Wheel Warehouse, and had the rims painted white a la Mission E style. Cost was $2450 for wheels, $4928 total, including tires. Tires are Pirelli P-Zero Winter Elect: 2858900 245/45R20XL 103V PIR PZero Winter (NFO) elt 2859000...
  19. Light delay time?

    Anyone know what the "Light delay time" setting does? It's under Settings : Vehicle : Lights and Visibility : Exterior lights. The default is 30 seconds.
  20. Concurrent seat heating and cooling

    Has anyone else wondered why the car lets you have the seat heating and cooling on at the same time? What's up with that? Is that something anyone would actually choose to do?
