I rented a Taycan from a Porsche dealer... I got home and cannot find the AC charging cable. I have NEMA-10-50 at home. Is there a special hidden place where this charging cable is located? I looked in the front trunk and trunk -- nothing....

Many thanks!

It’s in a huge bag inside the trunk with carabiners locked to the 2 metal rings that takes up about 1/3 of the trunk space. You will not miss it if it was there.

In addition to @outie 's advice, did you lift the lid in the trunk floor to check the small 'hidden' storage compartment underneath?

It's about 1 minute and ten seconds into this video: link

Thank you very much for the help and for Bjørn's video. Yep, that 1/3 truck compartment was empty, and side pockets were empty. Will call the dealer tomorrow. Glad to know the NEMA 10-50 adapter is standard.

I'm used to NEMA 14-50R (R stands for receptacle, but the illustration below calls it a socket).
I hope the dealer has a NEMA 10-50 pigtail to match your receptacle.

When you buy a Taycan, the cables it comes with connect to the Porsche EVSEs (one is included, the other an option). Maybe you are aware of this, but if you have an AC receptacle on the wall, you need an EVSE with cables, not just a cable. The EVSE that comes standard with the Taycan is the Porsche Mobile Charger Plus. Usually that EVSE has two supply cables that can be used - one with 14-50 plug and one with standard US wall plug. Porsche EVSE with supply cable for NEMA 10-50 is not standard. You will likely need a PMC+ and an adapter.
