Update! Car is home. ACC working! They did change the front camera and had to replace the EM Brake controller as they could not get the faults to clear on the original. I feel pretty good about that fix, as this has been the faults that they were not able to clear at the PDI. Happier to know...

I think the camera was throwing parts at it. I feel more confident in the brake controller as thats where the fault seems to have been from before day one.

Latest update: they got the camera in and installed and that seems to have cleared up the issue, but the Braking system still shows faults and they can not get the software to clear them. This is the same as they had at the PDI when they could not get the faults to clear fora week. A new Brake...

my frustration is that it doesn’t seem to be a major issue, just that they don’t seem to be able to fix it. It seems to be just software and they are just lost at how to deal with it. And have to go back and forth with Porsche with delays in getting responses. Maybe my dealer is clueless with...

Another week gone. Car still sits at the dealer. They changed the ACC Camera as Porsche recommended but still cannot get the software to calibrate. Right where we were after a week of PDI before they finally delivered and now three weeks in. I went through over a year dealing with a Taycan...

Update on the ACC issue. It’s been back at the dealer since Friday and Porsche has them pulling the bumper cover and going through the sensors and plugs/harness. Suffice it to say, very disappointing start to a very expensive car! edit: sensors OK, now waiting for Porsche to throw the next dart...

Some are shared and others are Not. Some stations will tell you if they are shared. Generally best to find a stall with no one next to you. Most non tesla sites in the US only have four or so posts, and nearly all that have two cables are shared and even if the other car is not pulling half the...

Exactly.

Turning off ESP in icy/wet conditions would not be smart. I don’t turn it off on the track in a Porsche, but in my old Challenger it was not possible to run a fast lap with it on.

ESP is a completely different thing and something that Porsche excels with. Guys turn off ESP to be able to drift and do burnouts. Sometimes you need the rear to break loose a bit.

When it works, Adaptive is awesome, but I had a Taycan loaner that would react to things very aggressively. Things like a guard rail or rock wall in a curve might result in the car braking excessively or slowing the car far below the speed limit. It ,ay have been out of spec but it would have...

Yeah, but in this case my wife driving a Turbo for her daily without cruise control could be very hard on my wallet and her driving record! It is crazy that Porsche does not allow you to turn off the adaptive part and give you basic cruise control which has been a mature tech for decades.

Drove the Turbo home today about 125 miles. Drives amazing, seems pretty efficient, but the Adaptive Cruise decided that it would not work. Just said unavailable, but could drive. All the sensors sem to be reading. I can see the other cars displayed. speed limiter works well to limit it but not...

They got mine straight. Turns out they were just overthinking the calibration. Pick it up on Monday!

The Sapphire was the star! 0-200-0 in less than a mile is insane! We run the Texas Mile twice a year and most have no idea what it takes to run 200 much less stop in one mile from 0.

I don’t think it’s a major thing. It just seems the there is a communication breakdown between the dealer and Porsche tech

Mine's been sitting at the dealer all week as they said during the PDI the Emergency Braking needed a calibration but they can't seem to get the software to work. I said after dealing with issues on my Taycan that I would not go back to a Porsche EV as the dealers just don't seem capable of...

I've not driven one without and both my Taycan and GMC have RAS, I've become used to it. Frankly, in a world where deviated stitching on the center console is $1310, $1350 for RAS seems like a bargain!

It took me awhile to get used to the vents on the Taycan, but after awhile I never even thought about them. Add that the setup allows them to be set for each driver's profile and it does make more sense.

Not me, but in a rural area, a woman in a MG Taycan gets noticed! I drive a Matte Blue GMC EV, I get plenty of questions as well!
