You actually have the same color, same rims, same calipers and same specs of the car that I selected that I'm going to buy. You basically made a video for my future car, and just what I needed. thanks!! ;)
lol, glad you enjoyed it, I wish I could do a bit more in the camera and editing department to make it look better, but I like for the customer to see what buttons I hit as I hit them. this is the easiest way for me lol.
It's hidden in the vehicle settings, as it's only supposed to be raised if you are cleaning underneath. Otherwise the car controls all the functions of it. It only raises like an inch or two.
You state “car comes on a lot of time, automatically” at 12:14. Mine does sometimes and doesn’t other times. What is the determining factor? I appreciate that it is important to have only one key with you when doing the setup as the settings are supposed to be tied to the key and adjust automatically. This is really wonky in my car. Sometimes works/sometimes doesn’t. Dealer has tried multiple times to get it to be consistent. It is not. The seat adjustment is tied to the key but if a valet moves your seat, it now resets the key/seat memory position. Love the car but software is very buggy.
Doors being shut and the car in a drive ready state. Key visible for the car to see like in a pocket. I know purses stuffed in footwells or keys in cup holders don't work too well
Excellent overview! Thanks for taking the time to post this. One question, however. Upon delivery we were only given one key due to the chip shortage. Given that, what’s the best way to setup a second driver profile and how does that work with a single key?
You can make the driver profile at any time within your main profile on your computer. I just wouldn't log it into the car until you get the other key! just to avoid possible issues.
Hey dude.First thx for teaching me these.And I have a question.I have ordered a taycan 4s cross Turismo. Can you tell me how to put down the chair so that I can put a bad on the back side.
Oh man! Sorry for the late response. Getting more comments and this slipped by me! It's the same exact process as a normal Taycan. You have to go from the back seats, unless you have very long arms and can reach. It's on the shoulder area of the back seats.
Hello, does your Porsche Taycan have massage seats? And if so, maybe you could make a video about it, because until now nobody has made a video about the massage seats at Porsche
I haven't seen one with massage seats yet. They operate pretty easily, using either the infotainment system, or the easier way, by using the hidden button located in the center of the Lumbar seat adjustment. It's a little circle in the center of the lumbar adjustment. You push it and the options for style and strength of massage come up quickly on the screen. But I've never seen a taycan with massage seats yet.
LOL battery is fine, we just have some customers that tend to have a heavy foot when test driving! Surely not something I'd ever do! Ok... maybe sometimes... lol
Anyway to permanently shut off when the car beeps if u get too close to something? Very annoying in the city when waiting at a light and people are crossing the street in the cross walk the car goes into beep mode with cameras turned on
Ambient Lighting - is there a way to keep or turn on the ambient lighting during the day? I almost went with the EQS because of the ambient lighting. :). Does the Taycan have this ability?
I'm not seeing Smart Lift in the PCM as is shown in your video under settings/vehicle. I am logged in successfully into the car, and my car does prompt me each time to save the location. Do you have any idea why?
If you car doesn't feature the air suspension it obviously won't have the option for smart lift. Also if you car was made prior to 2021 it also won't feature it. Quite alot of changes hidden between the yearly updates.
@@theporschepro1065 My car is a 2022 4S and my car does have smart lift because it prompts me each time to save the location. Don’t know why I can’t see the smart lift menu item in the PCM though. Any clue?
@@CC-nd2qu Unfortunately not, perhaps a little visit to the service department could help. I know it's inconvenient, but it will hopefully come with a solution!
Yes it does! When on the map, push in the little wheel button on the right and you can select it! I feel like it also might default to the Satellite map view if you selected it in main navigation page!
lol, each garage door is different. You gotta be pretty close to the garage, genies in particular depending on the clicker you are using to program to the car have 2 lights, a red and green one, sometimes the car likes the green one, and sometimes it likes the red! they are one of the most challenging to explain how to program without a visual. If I see an opportunity to video one I sure will!
What about the elephant in the room? - the Taycan battery damaging, cheap, onboard charger issue? Reports, especially from a Porsche whistle blower and others, seem to confirm that Porsche continue to ship around 60% Taycans with this built-in problem. As reported by The Electric Viking - Sam Evans recently.
Haven't heard anything about it. We've sold quite a few taycans, and we even built a building to hold batteries in case of replacement is needed. We have yet to even go inside that building. Also, what value would a customer gain from me stating rumors during a how-to video?
Never heard such a thing in any of the trainings, funny enough they say to much DC fast charging eventually could cause some capacity issues. But obviously the car has yet to exist long enough to see such things. the only damage it'd do is how long it'll take to fully charge! Usually about 2.5 to 3 days from empty to full! If you are worried, I recommend setting up a profile in the charging settings of the car. It's always best to charge the car between about 15%-85% and only charge to full for long trips.
Free 30 minute sessions for the first 3 years through Electrify America. This is for America of course, I'm not sure what the trials are for other countries.
Thank you very much. You did a better and more thorough job than the Porsche dealer where I purchased my Taycan. Very helpful indeed!
Glad it was helpful to you!
You actually have the same color, same rims, same calipers and same specs of the car that I selected that I'm going to buy. You basically made a video for my future car, and just what I needed. thanks!! ;)
Awesome! What are the chances! lol
I'm also going to buy a taycan turbo s in white, it's a really good car.
I've read a lot of taycan hidden features videos and this is by far the best of them.
Man! That makes me happy to hear!
Perfectly fine video. Very simple. No problems at all.
Thank you so much!
I just purchased a Taycan 4S, and this video is really helpful in getting me started. Thank you.
Glad to help!
Thanks! I've had my 4S for 2 years now, and I learned a few things.
Awesome! I bet you love it! What color combo did you go with?
Thank you for making this video I did not know how to activate the spoiler and because of your help I saw it in the setting!
Glad it was helpful!
I have had mine for almost 2 years, still learned a few things. Thanks!
Nice!
I just ordered a Taycan last week. Great Video! This is exactly what I am looking for! Thanks!
Very glad it was helpful to you!
Really good video. Learned many things as the car is quite complicated.
Glad it helped!
just got mine today and this was really helpful. thank you
Awesome! Glad to hear it! What Taycan did you go with?
Very thorough, just what I was wanting to know, thank you!
Thank you for the compliment!
Awesome Video camera quality is outstanding for one man doing it all!!!
lol, glad you enjoyed it, I wish I could do a bit more in the camera and editing department to make it look better, but I like for the customer to see what buttons I hit as I hit them. this is the easiest way for me lol.
Thank you for the Video. I am the New Porsche Pro at my dealership. See you around Space Cowboy.😀🚀
Welcome to the Porsche family! Maybe I'll see ya at a training session! I know I have a new Macan one coming up soon.
Very useful, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video! Thank you for recording this.
A reply I almost forgot to say thank you to!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for an extremely helpful video
I'm happy to hear it helped!
Getting one for mom and share it this video helps
I'm sure she'll love the car!
Pretty cool video tour, very informative. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
This is an awesome video thanks so much
so thorough, thanks!!!!
Thanks for the info! A quick one, how can we adjust the spoiler / wing on the back. Not sure if I missed this part. Thanks again

Thank you!! 🙏🏾
My pleasure!

really nice car. just wish the range was longer.
Thank you

@@danrock2856 Not just the seats, almost every setting on the car changes with the other profile. Pretty nice once it's all set up properly!

how come at 1:02:30 the battery is 84% and mileage 178km? what have you done with the battery? 😢😢😢
LOL battery is fine, we just have some customers that tend to have a heavy foot when test driving! Surely not something I'd ever do! Ok... maybe sometimes... lol
Anyway to permanently shut off when the car beeps if u get too close to something? Very annoying in the city when waiting at a light and people are crossing the street in the cross walk the car goes into beep mode with cameras turned on
Permanently? No, not without aftermarket coding.
While the sensors come on you can hit a little speaker button on the screen to mute it for a bit.
Ambient Lighting - is there a way to keep or turn on the ambient lighting during the day? I almost went with the EQS because of the ambient lighting. :). Does the Taycan have this ability?
Hate to say no, with our Florida summers I doubt I could even see it if we could! lol.

Just a possibility, are you US based? Ive heard some regions dont allow smartlift. US does however.
does it have google earth maps on the drivers screen?
Yes it does! When on the map, push in the little wheel button on the right and you can select it! I feel like it also might default to the Satellite map view if you selected it in main navigation page!
what is up with the homelink being so difficult wont work with my rolling genie opener

would you do a similar review to the 2024 Cayenne?
Sure can and will!
Adding a time stamp would be helpful
hey bud. i am told 120v home charging daily can hurt the battery. is that true

@@theporschepro1065 that thats what the sales say. its cause it's too long to charge
i would never understand ppl buy a any car 202x without adaptive cruse control. LOL
Oh it drives me nuts... I'm not a personal fan of it unless I'm doing 65 in the right lane or in a serious traffic jam
Thought only the first 30 minutes of charge is free during the 1st year
Free 30 minute sessions for the first 3 years through Electrify America. This is for America of course, I'm not sure what the trials are for other countries.
"Traction control, no real reason to ever turn that off" what kind of boring-ass person would think that?
A person that sees what comes into our service department for insurance estimates lol.
@@theporschepro1065 good point lol, too many bad drivers on nice cars
Are any of the features pretty cool? 🤦♂️
Very pretty cool indeed! lol
Great video, thanks. How do you save the settings? Every time I restart my Taycan my settings change back to a previous setting.
That's not normal. Unless you have the keys assigned to different profiles in the car. Or someone else is using the car.
Very informative. Thank you
My pleasure! Glad it was helpful!
