    [FAQ] - North America - All about the 19.2 kW option…(and 22kW???)

    NOTE: some but not all of this information carries over to the 22kW European markets - but it's not a 100% equal set of issues/concerns/beneifits was a common and repeated post on the Taycan forum for years between 2019 and 2024 - and people were always divided…there is no one "correct" answer...

    [WTF!!] - 2026 Macan EV North America USA configurator

    interesting to see this back on the price list… no word or information (from Porsche or otherwise) as to if this unit is a new-improved unit that could have fewer problems than the gen-1 Taycan's units (the 22/19.2 kW OBC's are notoriously unreliable, and Porsches has even stopped replacing...

    [Upgrading] - what does one get to replace a Macan Turbo EV?

    I've been seriously considering an upgrade…I was in Monaco today and finally found a suitable replacement for the Macan Turbo EV… handles good, excellent acceleration, quicker…but it's an ICE/Hybrid…but yeah - this will do if you're looking for something more sporty…it's a bit down on passenger...

    [Good News] - DST was handled promptly with no issue

    I woke up this morning - got in the car - and the clock was wrong - just like last year when we "fell back" - last year it took "days" until the car resolved this and I had to manually "update" the clock to have the correct time for properly charging schedule and such… today nearly the second I...

    [Victory] - let's chalk up a "win" for once…North American Supercharger access

    forums by their nature spend a lot of time discussing "room for improvement" - so I'd like to call out a recent "small victory" with big implications in the better late than never category Porsche's roll out, and addition of the Tesla Supercharger network has been well done… this is regardless...

    [North America] - Supercharging a 2024 Macan Turbo EV (with Lectron adapter at Tesla Supercharger(

    TLDR; it works and works well! The Lectron adapter is a worthy substitute if for some reason you simply can't get Porsche to give you one! gory details: I received my Lectron NACS to CCS Adapter w/Interlock | Vortex Plus - you know the one Porsche is rebranding but can't seem to actually ship...
