are Fusion on a Mac if
Notably, while the car and the Porsche app are both showing SoC =100%, TcanPro says less. According to my AI advisor (Gemini), this is the telltale of Porsche's software capping charge while displaying "battery full". Next is to test at very low SoC to see how much capacity the software is hiding at the "empty" end. Makes sense?

AI is (surprisingly) quite right this time, but not fully right (as usual with AI). That 2.4% buffer is the same in all Taycans. So when you reach 0% in the instrument cluster, you still got an emergency buffer of 2.4%).

Also does anyone have statistics on how many Taycan’s of all variants have battery problems.

I'm sure I'm screwing something up, but I'm getting a "no vehicle found on the network" error. The ENET cable shows green in the app, vehicle is on, cable seems to be plugged in all the way. I'm running the software through VMware Fusion on a Mac if maybe that's the problem, but it seems like the ENET is being seen by the virtual machine.

Here is a copy of my battery. Not sure of the health as not technical at all, but have different coloured models

I'm sorry to say but it is possible that there's a slight reason for concern. This 2023 battery is too new to already be so "relatively unbalanced". Of course everything is green and fine but it does stand out I must say.

You are affected by ARB6 and WRS1.... killer combo.

Your isolation is 10 on the positive and 1.8 on the negative... On the positive side it's excellent and the maximum really. On the negative side although not bad at all many healthier batteries are on 2.5-3.7....


Based on this I think a battery failure is likely but not in the short term. 12 to 18 months things may change.

So reading on here my voltage delta is 0.072 which I believe is too high but not drastic. I will do a battery rebalancing and see what happens. What is the level people start seeing the red circle of death? If the balance doesn’t improve my battery health I think it would be wise to get rid of any excuse to upgrade to GTS.

If you want it right away (US), then this cable worked fine for me:

I have no idea what the display shows, since it's facing the footwell, but the data works great with the awesome tcan app.
