Anyone else find it hilarious that soon Bz4x ubers will be clogging up super chargers at 24 kw charging speeds?

no worse than Bolts…

Getting closer-
(Can be found on the app under Owners Manual -> Charging Equipment)

And when you dig into the manual..

Damn that Porsche brand etching tho! Got it be worth that $50 premium over Lectron, no?

I thought it was strange that Honda was A-listed but still not Acura. I imagine that it is something along the lines of VIN lists although it's too bad they didn't start with the easy one like Porsche EVs.

Acura has joined the 'a' list.

When I changed the spark plugs on my Cayenne turbo, I went to the dealership and they wanted $40 per plug. They were Bosch, but in a Porsche box. Went to AutoZone and bought the exact same Bosch plugs, same model number, but it came in a Bosch box, and they were 10$ each. The Porsche mark up is insane.

Tesla Supercharger cables are incredibly short. How do you park a taycan, so that the cable will reach without taking 3 spots?

It's ironic that a discontinued entity gets access before Porsche..and Porsche is still last on list..I predicted December (only 6 months past Porsche's "June"!) ..but now may move the prediction to early 2026....

For me, superchargers will be a backup plan in areas without other brands. Yes for V3 the cables are short and unless you have the 400V/150W option, charge rates are 50kW. Some sites have an end unit that the Taycan can use without blocking spaces. The Tesla V4 cable is significantly longer than previous versions (around 10 feet or 3 meters). I’ve seen these start to appear.

many many sites have a couple of spots that you can pull in to for good access - but worse case I've parked diagonally across two spaces and the cables can reach - but it's tricky

a few things:

• Tesla knows about this problem and will be retrofitting existing stations - this is not a unique problem to Taycan
• V4 sites have longer cables
• the supercharger network is not a static thing - it will get better over time
• superchargers tend to have way way way more stalls than other charging networks - so often times taking multiple spots is not an actual issue that impacts anyone else
• you're not going to be there very long
• many supercharger sites have some "side load" stalls that actually work perfectly for the Taycan

generally speaking it's not ideal but workable and if you need to charge you need to charge - this will get better over time…

it's trending that way - {sigh} March 2026?

Yes, a BMW i4 can charge at Tesla Superchargers using a BMW-provided adapter, which was expected to become available starting in the second half of 2025. Many 2025 and future BMW EVs are becoming compatible with the NACS charging standard used by Tesla. For current i4 models, an adapter is required to connect the car's CCS port to the Tesla NACS plug, and you'll use the Tesla app to initiate the charge process.

How to Charge at a Tesla Supercharger

1. Get the Adapter: Obtain the BMW-certified adapter required for your i4's CCS port.
   
   
2. Use the Tesla App: Download the Tesla app and add your i4 to your profile, selecting the option that you don't have a NACS adapter.
   
   
3. Set Up Payment: Enter your payment details within the Tesla app.
   
   
4. Connect: Connect the adapter to your vehicle's CCS port, then plug the NACS connector from the Supercharger into the adapter.
   
   
5. Charge: The app and the station's screen will guide you through the charging process.
   

What to Expect

• Adapter: An adapter is crucial for bridging the CCS and NACS charging systems.
  
  
• Tesla App: The Tesla app is necessary for initiating and paying for the charge.
  
  
• Seamless Experience: The adapter allows BMW i4 owners to access the extensive and high-speed Tesla Supercharger network for long-distance travel.

Whatever:

The front spoiler barely cleared the curb. I take it that the suspension is on the lifted mode. I don't think the sedan can get as high.
