I have had my Taycan for a little over a year and have driven the 911 and been in a 911 a bunch over the years. As others have mentioned on other threads, the 911 is far more nimble due to its smaller size and much lower weight. On the other hand, the Taycan has ridiculous acceleration in real...
My dealer has three level 2 chargers. All can only be accessed when the dealer is open. Two of them can be used without assistance but sometimes get ICEd by people going on test drives.
There is an Electrify America L3 charger about two miles up the road. I don't remember the exact speed, but...
Similar to others, I have only seen it once. I have had the car for a little over a year and drove it through some 100+ degree days last year. I just saw the message about a week ago.
I have had my Taycan for almost a year to the day. Have loved the car, particularly the driving dynamics. It has had some minor software glitches but honestly I forget about them as soon as I start driving.
I never seriously considered Tesla because I was focused on the overall driving...
I am 6' 3" and 200 pounds and find the lumbar support too low in the 18 way seats. I am not sure if the other seats would be better, but I don't love the 18 way ones, at least for my body type.
I have the 20" wheels and deal with awful roads due to the constantly changing weather here. I haven't found the 20" wheels to be too rough in normal drive mode. So far I haven't had any tire damage due to potholes but it definitely can happen. FWIW, I have damaged tires on other cars with...
I took my MY2020 in for the update just under a week ago. They started the update and then had their dealership software system crash. They say they cannot finish the update or even process new service requests. Since the update is half done, I cannot get my car. They don't have an ETA on when...
We have another car, but the Taycan is our go-to car. It is our long road trip car, our ski car, our kid soccer tournament car, etc. We just always want to drive it. We just put close to 2,000 miles on it on several long trips through the mountains. On those trips it snowed 18 inches a few...
I have similar feedback to the other comments above.
I actually will be doing a drive a bit like yours tomorrow. There is a part of that drive where I climb about 4,000 feet over the course of about 80-85 miles. If the temps are around 10-15 degrees Fahrenheit, I go through about 45-48% of my...
FWIW, I did several trips last summer where the temp was 95-100F. Not quite as warm as your case, but not that far off. On several cases I would drive ~225 miles between stops and arrive with up to 35 to 40% of charge left. That put my range well into the 325+ mile range. Granted I like the...
I think this is well said. I have had my 2020 since June. I had one charging issue on day #2, but that was before I got the updates. Since then I have had a few minor things (e.g., Bluetooth issues), but nothing significant at all.
I use the app from time to time to preheat the car and start...
I am regularly over 300 miles when the weather is warm. Now that the weather is colder I am more in the 225 to 250 mile range. I have a 4S with the extended battery.
Range is very dependent on temperature and your speed. Once you go over about 70 to 75 MPH range drops off.
Thank you - great info. This makes it sound like putting the car in range mode is key. I don't consistently use range mode. That could be why my estimates are a bit off. I will have to try using range mode both directions to see what happens.
Has anyone figured out what all the nav system takes into account when computing the end of trip state of charge? I specifically am interested in whether it takes elevation gain and weather en-route into account.
If I enter a destination in the mountains into the nav system and look at the...
The car won't put you in a ditch if it is wet. The Taycan is amazing at putting down power in low friction situations. (My street has been a sheet of ice for much of the last two months.) As said above, the car accelerates so hard that you want a lot of space around you and you want to be very...
