Do the 911 forums have fuel economy threads? 🤔

Unfortunately you can see holes in the plastic. Those parts are going to have to be replaced. Might just be an insurance claim.

If it’s the LV battery, an extended warranty doesn’t cover it anyways. If it’s a HV battery problem, it’s covered under warranty. So not sure where an extended warranty would come into play in this situation.

Depends on the insurance laws where you live. Some “no fault” States have your insurance always responsible for your car.

Yup, those things happen, but it’s pretty rare. Again, unnecessary fear. Never been a fan of fear based selling of products. Usually means the product sucks.

Why do people always try to spread unnecessary fear on threads like this? Statistics on the warranty payouts tell the opposite story: the likelihood of a repair exceeding the warranty cost is more like 1 in 8. Source: every independent study on warranty costs and claims. The Taycan repairs may...

Kramer would have gone until it says 0……. Then kept going!!

For sure because in the US that would have been a lemon law or buyback car! 30 days in the shop in the first 2 years of ownership (cumulative) and they have to take the car back.

It’s not a variance in build quality, it’s just good or bad luck. This isn’t a Taycan thing, it’s true of every car. Check out the JD power dependability studies. Even the most reliable cars……. Still break. They just break slightly less on average. But the average number of problems per 100...

I like your style. A genuine Kramer!

That doesn’t surprise me, but it’s still more accurate than extrapolating using change in charge percentage. The latter would be like trying to look at your gas gauge in an ICE vehicle, driving about 1/10th of the gauge and multiplying by 10. Just won’t be very precise. In the end, none of it...

There is a company that can convert you to AGM, but it also requires some programming. Won’t help the OP already at the dealer with the dead car. That said, I would try having them NOT replace the 12V, charge it up and have it independently tested. It could have just been fully drained and then...

Hopefully you didn’t plan to run to 1%! Either way, it’s quite rare for anyone to use 100% of range. Real world usage for road trips will be that 20-80% (only 60% of full range) both due to battery preservation and speed of DC charging. And yes, more is better.

I hadn’t heard this explanation about how the eshift isn’t slower but now it makes sense: “Well, so as not to slow the Taycan down while accelerating with E-Shift engaged, the Taycan momentarily engages overboost—just for a split second—to make the car’s occupants feel something when the system...

Even state of health is an estimate. Measuring a battery capacity is not an exact science. The only part that is reasonably accurate is energy used. So calculating miles per kwh is the standard with EVs for figuring range. That said, even though EV owners are obsessed with “maximum range,”...
