    Recall: High Voltage Battery May Short Circuit APB5 (2021-23) - December 13, 2023

    I’d hope they would say that, because such clear criteria is much more trustworthy than some unknown, and likely still fallible even if known, machine learning algorithm. So Porsche wouldn’t be doing themselves any favors. However, as Tooney pointed out, there are many more than 205 cars in...

    Recall: High Voltage Battery May Short Circuit APB5 (2021-23) - December 13, 2023

    Thanks, that's what I thought, but it's hard to be sure, since the VIN range could in theory be more specific than the calendar period (albeit very unlikely). Even so, I guess it means I won't know for sure until the recall notices for all the actually affected VINs are out. This is a bit...

    Recall: High Voltage Battery May Short Circuit APB5 (2021-23) - December 13, 2023

    I just entered some of the VINs directly mentioned into https://recall.porsche.com, and they also came up with no recall, so I guess that's just not published yet. I am super nervous to see that my VIN is within one of the ranges. Again, does anybody know if that means they consider it...

    Recall: High Voltage Battery May Short Circuit APB5 (2021-23) - December 13, 2023

    My VIN is in one of the ranges. Does that mean my car is affected? I'm not 100% sure how to interpret the "Not Sequential" checkmark. Whether that means thats not all VINs in the range are affected, or whether it just means that no car exists for every possible VIN in the range. In any case...

    Crazy recall for my Taycan Turbo - WPN8

    WPN8 is a PCM update, as noted elsewhere in the forum. It has nothing to do with oil filler caps, which an EV does not have. Obviously, some wires got crossed here, and the wrong description got paired with the WPN8 campaign.

    Just got my Emporia Level 2 48amp EV Charger Installed

    Hmm, why that extra step? I just plug it in... it starts clicking as soon as it's plugged in.

    2 years 5 months and 26000 miles later - sharing thoughts

    For me it's also that I don't really want to let my car dictate my life. As you've said before, if you buy it for resale, it was probably a bad idea anyway. It's my car and I want to use it as a car. I've rarely got a problem with anyone else driving it (my wife who is very careful anyway, some...

    2 years 5 months and 26000 miles later - sharing thoughts

    That is how I feel as well, especially the last sentence. Though I do buy used, simply because I had good experience with it (especially with Porsche Certified Pre-Owned, it was a wonderful experience with my Boxster, which never had a significant problem after 7 years), and I really like how...

    Apple Music questions

    How is that illogical? When you play through Car Play, you just hear what your phone plays. The car does neither know nor care if that comes from Apple Music on the phone, or any other app on your phone.

    Apple Music questions

    You're not entering your credentials into the car's system. You just scan a QR code, and this will generate an authentication token that is easy to revoke and authorize your car for Apple Music (and hopefully Apple Music only). At no point does the car see your password.

    Air suspension issue on Taycan 4S?? "Chassis level extremely low" Anyone else experience this?

    So, I’ve definitely seen it going to “Lowered” (or whatever the one with the one notch down icon on the dashboard is), in “Normal” driving mode, in my turbo at freeway speeds. I checked this again.

    Didn’t other driving modes automatically lower the car as well, at freeway speeds?

    OTA Software Update (July 17, 2023)!

    I doubt it’s not checked into version control, that would be crazy. Usually, SNAPSHOT means it is in version control, but not explicitly tagged as a version. That’s bad if it’s the actual thing you’re shipping, but if it’s just a smaller part that itself is tagged, it’s perfectly okay. Look...

    Air suspension issue on Taycan 4S?? "Chassis level extremely low" Anyone else experience this?

    Is that audible in your car? I tried several times, and even in the garage I cannot hear it going from or to the “Lift” setting. It just kind of imperceptibly changes height (first one end of the car, then the other it seems), and it’s kind of spooky in a fun way. I have the Sedan, can imagine...

    OTA Software Update (July 17, 2023)!

    I wouldn’t read too much into that. As I remember, the version before the SNAPSHOT does not actually increase (or at least I haven’t seen that). One possible explanation is that they just have given up on separately versioning *this* particular component, presumably then because it’s packaged...

    OTA Software Update (July 17, 2023)!

    Oh wow, that just happened to me. First and only time I've used Direct Charge, too. Nice to know that had I waited for a day or two, it would not have happened. 😅 But I'm pretty confident that charging it to 100% once won't ruin my battery.

    One week after 6 years in Tesla Model S to Taycan Turbo

    Yeah, the PCM gets a lot of hate. But from the apart from the egregious issues that need to be fixed (mostly the hard crashes or UI crawling down to a halt, requiring reset), I'm actually very happy with the UI concept, ergonomics, and functionality of it.

    Oof. They really should add some certificate reset action somewhere deep in a menu instead.

    OTA Software Update (July 17, 2023)!

    Don't get your hopes up. The PCM version information screen seems to mostly show versions involving, well, the PCM. At least according to the release notes, that was not what was updated here. Maybe you can find a difference in the myriad of versions shown in the engineering menu (I'm not...

    OTA Software Update (July 17, 2023)!

    That is true, but the original conjecture was that MY2020 would not support Plug & Charge *and* OTA, because it was missing the auth module or similar.
