This video was so helpful! I just picked up my Taycan GTS, I was watching this video while pushing the buttons at the same time. Thank you so much! Looking fwd to more. ❤
Dude, I am not gonna lie, most of them were not secret but indeed hidden features. The one that really is amazing was the one where you can make the carwash key mode. I already drive my Turbo S for almost two years and I swear, I hated when it opened up something during hand wash, this is a life saver!
Thank you. I use that function all the time. Also, nowadays I don’t do a traditional car wash due to water drain issues that Taycan might have. If you drive during the rain or park outside during rain, rear passenger footwell gets flooded for some Taycan. I made a new video about 6 water drain plugs. 👍🏼
Thanks for making the video, I am at 59,000 miles on my 4S and I figured I would know all of the things you mention. But I did enjoy learning about the car wash key disabling number 17 and the windshield wiper maintenance mode number 20. Hope you’re enjoying your vehicle .
@@andreaszallmann9485 I don’t think people read 500-1000 page manual. Some people never read the manual. And, two finger PCM reset is not in the manual.
I hope to be be picking up Cross Turismo this weekend, so I very much appreciate the interesting tips/hacks & smooth presentation Nice job, well edited (. . . and, yes, I assume this info is likely buried somewhere in the manual, but your video is a great time-saver)
Amazing. I didn’t most of these things and I thought I’d had seen every Taycan video! If only there were more multi-finger gestures for that touch screen… hoping they jailbreak the system someday and add additional functionality. Sadly, sounds like Apple Car OS is only coming to the next gen due to better PCM hardware 😢
Mine has Performance Plus Battery which was $6000 🤣 You will love driving a Taycan. It’s different than BMWs. BTW, if you look at my earlier videos, I had 7 series BMW. I love Taycan ❤️
@@TacticalExpedition Thanks for your response. I asked because I was wondering whether the slower base rwd taycan is worth giving up the much faster speed of the M50. I understand the Taycan handles better than the BMW i4 M50.
I used these (3) parts to make the car phone holder charger that works with Taycan. I wish they make this but I had to put it together with trial and error. ►ESR HaloLock Charger (Actual Magsafe Charger): amzn.to/3bA4Suy ►ESR HaloLock Mount (3M Sticky Base Only): amzn.to/3BNzH9P ►Extended Arm (Universal): amzn.to/3oZeNwQ th-cam.com/video/XZ5xLpsryM8/w-d-xo.html
One cool trick, I wanted to share with everyone. I like to park my car in the Low chassis mode but I don't like when I unlock the car, it defaults to the Standard height. I've realized when you unlock the car, it utilizes the Normal mode. So I set the normal mode to Low Chassis height. Now the car stays in the lowest height at all times. The bonus by doing this is that I like the normal soft suspension with the lowest height for freeway driving. It cruises very well and handles rough roads nicely. I switch from sport plus to normal (Low chassis) when I enter the freeway. So smooth. Just some thoughts I wanted to also share. I didn't know about the hidden tools, compressor, etc. I'll check mine in the morning.
@@TacticalExpedition yes please! I bought one but it didn't fit my 4s. If you could pls show yours with the installation process, that would be awesome!
I've had my Taycan for 1.5 years and never bothered or knew about those compartments in the front 🤦🏿♂️ The wash mode is helpful too, I always open the frunk when I wash.
its kinda a joke, that the big display at the botton in the middle is not configurable for large forward or back buttons for the media. also that you cant press the functional button which has been set to "next track" double times to go back to the last track is not really satisfying. Thx for the video, could have shortend to half of the time by not explaining everything 4 times.
Pretty much covered stuff that was in the manual, or taycanforum in the case of the soft reset. Rear fog lights, heated steering wheel, power windows speed, opening the frunk is all in the manual😂 btw some of what you mentioned are options depending on geographic area. The aircompressor is not included on all Taycans. And lastly, an Easter Egg is a hidden extra by a software developer that is undocumented.
I also own a Taycan and I was hoping to learn some really new and unknown information now. But it was all just regular operation of the vehicle. There was no Easter Egg.
@@mihai3678 find passive income. I have been working hard to be financially independent and now I make 3 times the amount of my actual job. I make videos, sell stuff on ebay, amazon, stock dividends and crypto. Anything to make money and I am here now. =)
Haha. Ok. Relax. It’s just a short TH-cam video and not a grammar or dictionary channel. I have Tesla but it’s not fun as Porsche. Thank you for watching this video.
@@TacticalExpedition the manual is in the app and pretty convenient to access. Yes you are right about the PCM Reset. I live next to germany so these things are no secrets but maybe it is different in the US
I thought I knew everything after 3 years of ownership, but I picked up 4-5 tips from you that I was unaware of! Thank you!
That’s perfect. I forget it all the time so I watch my own video to remind myself. Hahaha. 👍🏼
Best taycan tip video i ever seen!
You are too nice 👍🏼👍🏼
i don’t have a taycan but i enjoyed watching this, hopefully will buy it one day.
Buy 1 year used. The price might be much better and you will really enjoy this car. 👍🏼👍🏼
The engage/ disengage key fob trick is golden.
Perfect. I use that often. Before I knew that, it was a mess when I’m washing my car. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
X japan for life! Thumbs up for that 👍
Haha. If you know X Japan, you are older. 🤣🤣🤣
@TacticalExpedition not that old but I'm a proud 80's babies 😁
@metalmorononhighway Since I’m 70s, I always thought 80s were youngsters but not anymore. Hahaha. We are all getting older. 👍🏼👍🏼
@TacticalExpedition for sure man. May we grow old with health 😅. Cheers
Probably the best overview video I’ve watched in a while. Thank you!
Thank you for saying that 👍🏼
Thank you so much! Now I understand my car better. Dealer showed me how to operate but not in this level of details!
This video was so helpful! I just picked up my Taycan GTS, I was watching this video while pushing the buttons at the same time. Thank you so much! Looking fwd to more. ❤
This is the best nice tips video that I have ever seen. Highly recommended!
So nice to get all this information. Big thanks buddy ;-)

What car would you buy after Taycan? I look at many cars and hate all of them but I don’t want to drive same Taycan again. 🤣🤣🤣
That’s good to know. 👍🏼
Thanks for the tips
Great Video! Thank you for revealing the short cuts!
Thank you for watching. 👍🏼
Brilliant! Thanks 👍
great video.. actually learned some stuff about my 4s... disabling key was cool ...
Glad it helped!
White fits the Taycan extremely well... and you chose a nice wheel design. Great car :)
I didn’t add too many options but went most expensive on the wheels. Looks so good. But I also paid Wheel warranty. Everything is so expensive
black is better
Wow thanks for the short cuts🎉
Very useful for a new Taycan owner. Looking forward to more videos. Thanks!
Thank you. ❤️
Very helpful thank you. I pick up my new one next week so thank for this vid
So relaxing and awesome key fob! I have the same interior and like it a lot, feels classy
My favorite car so far. Cybertruck is coming soon. 🤣🤣🤣
@@TacticalExpedition wow I hope you enjoy it!
Cheers, just got a Taycan this week and trying to learn it
Hopefully you got 4S or higher 👍🏼
@@TacticalExpedition 4s in Neptune blue 13.5 K miles 2021
Wow. You gonna love it. 👍🏼👍🏼
Excellent and useful tips.
Glad it was helpful!
Very useful didn't know lots of your secrets 😊😊😊🙏🏼
Nice you found a couple of I never had found.
Perfect. If I find more tips, I will post it. Thank you.
많은 도움이 되었습니다. 친절한 설명 감사합니다♥️
Thank you for the video I'll be having one this week
영상이 너무 좋아요! 많은 도움이 됐네요^^ Thanks!
감사합니다. 👍🏼👍🏼
Great video, Let me pay for that expensive coffee your drinking ☕️ haha. Enjoy my friend.
Road to 6K subscribers, letssssss gooooooo!!!!!
How do I get that money? Hahahha. I don’t know how. 🙉🙉🙉
Learned a lot, thanks for making this!
Thank you.
I appreciate it this. I just got mine and had no setup whatsoever.
Enjoy. Also, be aware of water drain issue. I made another video regarding this topic. Thanks
Thanks for the video. I just got a Turbo S and there were a few that was completely new for me !!
Haha. Nice. You drive the best of the best. I’m jealous 🤣🤣
Very useful!! Thank you!!!!
thank you so much. im waiting for my new Taycan
You will love it. ❤️
@@TacticalExpedition thank you
Who revealed all these secrets to you ? Very helpful stuff !
Hahahha. I was pushing all the buttons and touching everything. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
all in the manual😅
@@andreaszallmann9485 I don’t think people read 500-1000 page manual. Some people never read the manual. And, two finger PCM reset is not in the manual.
Good tips. But your definition of secret is not what I would call secret or hidden. Maybe just not well known unless you read the manual.
Like the magic tricks. Hahaha.
I hope to be be picking up Cross Turismo this weekend, so I very much appreciate the interesting tips/hacks & smooth presentation
Nice job, well edited
(. . . and, yes, I assume this info is likely buried somewhere in the manual, but your video is a great time-saver)
Thank you. Sometimes I look at this video again because I forgot how to do it. LOL 🤣🤣
Very Cool Car 😊

If only there were more multi-finger gestures for that touch screen… hoping they jailbreak the system someday and add additional functionality. Sadly, sounds like Apple Car OS is only coming to the next gen due to better PCM hardware 😢
Thank you. That would be nice for us to upgrade to a new graphic PCM
So many things that I did not know
Perfect. Thank you.
1. how do you use the garage opener (is it on the touchscreen?)
2. why did you get the base and not the 4s?
1. It’s on the touch screen. Geo fence so when I get home, bottom of the PCM screen shows the garage controls
2. I got RWD because of the price. 😔
Nice video. 2 questions: (1) is your car on the smaller battery? And (2) brand new i4 M50 or fairly used base Taycan? 🤔
Mine has Performance Plus Battery which was $6000 🤣
You will love driving a Taycan. It’s different than BMWs. BTW, if you look at my earlier videos, I had 7 series BMW. I love Taycan ❤️
@@TacticalExpedition Thanks for your response. I asked because I was wondering whether the slower base rwd taycan is worth giving up the much faster speed of the M50. I understand the Taycan handles better than the BMW i4 M50.
If you gonna get a used Taycan, get Taycan 4S. Minimum. GTS is even better. My base TAYCAN is a commuter daily car. That’s my suggestion 👍🏼
@@TacticalExpedition Thanks for the heads up. I think I will stay with the M50 order.
Great video thanks - one question how did you manage that only one door handle comes up and the rest stays inside
It’s an option inside the menu.
Thanks, where did you get your wireless charging mount and how did you route the wire?
I used these (3) parts to make the car phone holder charger that works with Taycan. I wish they make this but I had to put it together with trial and error.

I wish I had an air suspension. Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣
@@TacticalExpedition true, I have a 4S with air, that makes sense.
I didn’t know that the base model didn’t have air, that makes sense.
By the way, I am missing some of those tools like the air compressor. I just messaged my sales guy.
@@TacticalExpeditionI know the 4S has air suspension but I thought everyone taycan model had it
Great video! What type of rear spoiler is that? Where did you get it?
th-cam.com/video/4yoSk7Qr6zU/w-d-xo.html
I made series of Taycan videos of all my mods. Thanks.
How reliable are they? Should i get a newer 4s or a 3 year old turbo?
People say get 2022 and newer. Older ones have so many problems. I don’t have any.
@Tactical Expedition® what year is yours? They are giving me a cpo warranty and it's low mileage at 12k
2022.
Do you know what the little outside mirror icon on the left side of the instrument cluster by the steering wheel? Please advise
I believe that’s auto side mirror dimming. No?
No it's lane detection. I just found out. Thx for replying!
Nice video! ever thought of putting a dash cam? Might worth the investment in LA.
I have a dash cam. I always had it. Maybe I should make a video. It’s not Porsche dash cam though… 👍🏼
@@TacticalExpedition yes please! I bought one but it didn't fit my 4s. If you could pls show yours with the installation process, that would be awesome!
Getting mine same color same wheels delivery scheduled for 08/04/23
Hopefully you got the wheel warranty 👍🏼
I've had my Taycan for 1.5 years and never bothered or knew about those compartments in the front 🤦🏿♂️
The wash mode is helpful too, I always open the frunk when I wash.
Perfect. Now you know. 👍🏼
nice tips..now your next Easter egg is ...tell me next week's winning lotto numbers...so I can hit the Porsche dealer😂😂😂
Here you go. 1 2 3 4 5 6 🤣🤣🤣
where you get that leather lugage bag?

Where u get that phone holder 😊

Sync is Standard in Like Every Car?
Sync function is standard but the display to combine into one is not. It gets tricky and sometimes it doesn’t work when it’s in a wrong gear.
Wow and lady I know just got a dark Red one it’s gorgeous she had so much trouble with her Electric BMW I hope she has better luck with Porsche ❤️
It’s much better experience from a Porsche. I had 3 series, 5 series and 7 series BMW. Great cars but not as exciting as Porsche.

So, you wrote all this to talk shit? 🤣🤣🤣 I’m joking. Thank you for viewing it. I just categorized Taycan tips in a simple format videos. 👍🏼
Yeah, it looks like you might have been reading a certain thread on Taycanforum.
What threads?? I prepped that video for a long time and researched and wrote it down. Once I got enough information, I made TH-cam video about it.
Taycan secret tips and functions is a good one.
I also own a Taycan and I was hoping to learn some really new and unknown information now. But it was all just regular operation of the vehicle. There was no Easter Egg.
Haha. Don’t tell me you knew all of things I mentioned. 🤣
@@TacticalExpedition , you got that exactly right. BTW, the reset is the soft reset. The hard reset of the PCM can be done fastest via OBD.
Title is secret and many are not secret. This is how to program a programmable button.this is how to start the car etc
Haha. Sorry 👍🏼
Now teach us how to make the money to can afford it
Start TH-cam channel. 🤣👍🏼

An Easter egg is a hidden fun thing. Ac sync is not an easter egg. Suggest you look at tesla if yiu want actual easter eggs

Nothing about this is a secret. Everything you told is in the manual.
