Hi, I am deciding between these 2. I think the only part I see the difference is AWD vs RWD.

Top speed is faster in RWD Acceleration is faster in AWD

Hello,

Do timers stack/combine? I’ve noticed a few times where my car isn’t warm in the mornings and the only thing I can think is that the timer is for both charge and temperature and perhaps cos it’s not charging to the 85% as it’s not plugged in it is not also heating.

So if that’s the case, can I have one timer for temperature and another for charge and thus both will run side by side ensuring that if the charger isn’t plugged in it will still be warm?

Thanks

MY2020 Taycan is slowly charging. It is charging at a LEVEL2 charger at 1.4Kw
Even at a DC charger it is not going more than 100

Any ideas what happened ?

Hey guys,

Soooo there are a shit tons of options on the Taycan and I was wondering which one of them are really worthy. Like for instance something that adds a real value for its price.

Also what are the differences between the old one and the restyled version ? I mean besides the look. Is it worth going for the new one ? I think I heard that it’s more efficient in terms of consumption.

Thanks guys !

Anyone else feel like their car is constantly hoovering up gravel from the road? It’s even in my side panel ducts. obviously because it’s such a low ride but that sound along with the the occasional scrape are like nails on the chalkboard!

Does a Porsche Taycan's buyback (lemon) status automatically void the manufacturer's warranty, including the battery warranty?

I got my Taycan serviced months ago and ever since the trunk has been smelly, musty. I’ve tried spraying air freshener and airing out the trunk but it still smells bad. What the heck might cause this?

The car was sitting on the dealer lot in Florida for like 2 months and probably not driven much if at all. All 4 rotors are really orange as a result. Brake dust coated all over them. Went for a spirited drive and didn’t seem to do much to get rid of it. I didn’t do any full blown breaking mind you just normal stop signs and red light stopping from 60mph speeds to full stop.

These are the standard iron rotors not the upgraded ones. The car brakes fine, but the rotors look pretty damn ugly. Anything I can do?

Thanks

My brakes are making loud noises now after the fix of the brake hose recall. Did anyone else get this? Why would this be happening and what should I do?

‘23 base

So, I took my 20 4S in to the dealer for the battery recalls and they told me it goes one of two ways, depending on the results of the coolant pressure test. Either they do some quick repairs that take a few days or, if the test fails, they have to keep it for a while because they have to replace cells or the whole battery. Of course, the test failed.

Apparently, there are only 2 techs in the entire region (Northwest) that do this work so his estimate was 2-6 months at the shop.

Now, we have a loaner, but a Cayenne is not a Taycan lol. I'm happy to wait to make sure I have a solid battery, but it sucks not having a real ETA.

Has anyone else had this repair done? How long did it take?

I just bought a used 21 4s back in December and I've been having this issue and curious if anyone else has experienced this. When driving in a straight line with little too no steering input needed I will on occasion get a red light warning on the dash telling me to take over steering control, mind you I do not have the innova drive or whatever it's called aiding driving feature. When this happens I also get a temporary cut to the power, it's restored when I give the wheel a little wiggle but it's annoying. The car was at the dealer for an unrelated service visit and I told them of the issue but I think they had no luck replicating the issue and told me the Porsche is just sensitive to a lack of diver input. Seems weird to me given my car lacks the "self" driving feature, anyone else have this issue? I'm not sure if warrants a return to the shop as it's more of an annoyance then real problem but if this is unique to me then maybe I'll be more inclined to have it looked at. It happens a few times a day as I have a bridge on my commute with a 6 mile straight away that seems to trigger this error message.

Hey All

I have a question. My old roofbox is slowly desintegrating and also not properly fitting on my Taycan ST. When i open the trunk, it touches the box. Has anyone a roofbox that fits well, and can open the back without touching? Preferably from Thule Squarebars and it should fit 190cm skis. Thanks in advance

Hi guys,

I’m considering a used taycan for our 2nd car in the family and i’m between a fully loaded MY22 Turbo S (very low kms, less than 10k) that was a service car from Porsche Ag or a MY25 4S very well spec’d with arround 15.000kms. Both cars have all the options that i value.

My doubts are related to the known problems of the first gen Hv Battery, better range on the 4S and the better tech in the MY25 (better PCM, better battery, etc.)

The price for the MY22 Turbo S is arround 100k (MSRP 220k) and the price for the My25 is arround 115k (MSRP 175k).

Do the extra 15K justify the better battery, range, tech vs. the performance and exclusivity of the Turbo S?

Thanks in advanced.

I've been living in Tesla world for the last 5+ years, and have not dealt with dealers in some time.

In the market for a 2022+ model (California) and flexible on price to get the right combo - but also want to get the most bang for the buck. Can buy cash if needed.

What negotiating advice would you give? This is my first experience with Porsches and want to have all the tools ready.

Hi All,

I’m in the market for a used CPO 4S and I found a 2021 with all of the desired options and 9k miles for around $69k. However, the carfax indicates 3 previous owners. It looks like the first was a lease only lasting about 1k miles, the 2nd owner purchased and serviced the car 4x in two years, the 3rd owner held the car for about a year.

Is this a major red flag? If it wasn’t certified pre owned I would definitely be staying away.. curious to hear more thoughts on this.

We switched from a Panamera (2019 4E) to the Taycan and I was worried about the luggage. Like a glove!

Today, I actually had an issue with my 2025 Taycan where it wouldn’t start, neither with the key nor after manually unlocking it. It only came to life after jump-starting and connecting a 12V battery in the footwell, then electrically opening the front hood and jump-starting the other 12V terminal. Has anyone else here experienced a similar problem? Since the car is only 9 months old, I’ll head to Porsche on Monday (if it doesn’t die again by then), but a normal car should handle 5 days without driving, even in cold weather. So, my question: has anyone else had issues with the 12V battery? According to my research, there were problems with this in several models back in early 2021

I’ve just spent the week on email trying to arrange a test drive and viewing of a J1 Taycan to essentially be told I can’t do this unless I identify a specific used vehicle, pay a deposit on it and have it shipped to my local dealer. Is this standard Porsche practice (and I’m naive) or am I dealing with an idiot in sales? I was transparent to say I don’t need the car until August but want to get my ducks in a row now so I can spend the next 6+ months scouring the market for my ideal specs. All feels very anti-sales…. I’m I expecting too much?

Does the car turn on high beam and fog light by itself or do I need to manually do this?

Anyone else having problems with the Apple Music app on the Home Screen?

Some chatter explaining the issue here (but no solutions…) https://rennlist.com/forums/992/1450489-apple-music-app-pcm-keeps-logging-off.html

Oddly enough I can stream Podcasts but cannot get Music to log in. Been going on for over a month for me.

I’ve got a recall service coming up so Hope springs eternal. But would love to guide them bc I suspect they will blame Apple when it really is a Porsche issue.

(And yes, CarPlay is a fine workaround. Just annoyed rn)

We recently subscribed to SiriusXM for our new-to-us 2021 Taycan 4S.

Every time we start a new trip, none of the SiriusXM pre-set Favorites will play until we go to the top-level SiriusXM screen and click on the “Listen Now” button. After that, all SiriusXM channels including the Favorites become available.

It’s really bad user interface to require the user to find and click on this button every time (especially while driving), so I hope it’s just a setup or settings problem. But the PCM is full of bad user interface, so maybe it’s just something else that everyone just tolerates?

When I’m taking the first turn after starting the car, the car is shocking around. It feels like the front tires are hitting the chassis. Is this something common? It happens only on the first turn. I have 23 rwd cpo with the air suspension.

Hey guys,

I want to buy a used taycan with max. 60.000km and max. 50.000€

I found some cars on mobile.de in that range and I would to know what should I know before buying a "old" taycan. Do I need any features which are must have on that car?

I am between a taycan and a model 3 performance. But the taycan hit me more with the German quality. But otherwise the battery range on the model 3 seems to be better

As title states I’m in a warm climate and looking for new tires that grip well, looks good, and do everything right, but aren’t as expensive as MPS4s or P-zeros

What are my options?

Thanks

Dropped off my 2021 TS at dealer a few days back and rolled into new lease for a 2025 TS. I'm absolutely loving this car!

One quirk, though: When I do my exit routine of turning off the car, opening the door, etc., at some point the screen shows an odd warning. Something along the lines of "You're leaving someone behind" or "Don't leave anyone behind."

I think what's happening is it's afraid I'm leaving my dog in the car. The thing is though, I don't own or travel with a dog. Sometimes there's some pressure on the passenger-side seat, like from an iPad or a book, so maybe it's interpreting that weight as me leaving my pet behind. I've seen it display the warning even when there's nothing on the seat though so I'm a bit baffled by it.

Anyone else encounter the same? I never saw this warning with the 2021.
