    Personalized License Plates - What’s Yours / What do you Suggest?

    I have almost the same thing. The main question I keep getting is why I have that license plate when my car surely has a V8.

    would you buy taycan if it wasn't electric ?

    I previously was driving a 17 year old ICE convertible that was a lot of fun to drive. I looked at the 911 and the Nissan GTR and couldn't justify the money. Those are great cars, but the incremental performance gains were not worth the money as my convertible still drove great and had limited...

    What loaners does Porsche give you?

    The phone hold message for my dealership talks up the loaner cars. However each time I have asked about them, I have been told, "Oh, loaner cars are next to impossible to get because we have so few."

    So based on the new EPA "Range" are you cancelling?

    I have gone from 300 to 340 miles during the summer to about 230 to 240 miles during the winter and we haven't even really hit the super cold months.

    Recuperation Button

    I use it going down long mountain passes the way I would downshift in a stick shift car. That way I don't have to keep my foot on the brakes.

    450 miles today with an eMountain bike on the roof, and cold temps. -- efficiency info

    I did a decent chunk of this route this weekend. I have a 4S with 20" Pirelli winter tires as well. Temps were similar to yours although there was a decent amount of variation during the course of the weekend. I averaged 41 kWh/100 miles. In other words, your consumption was about 13.4%...

    Sports Chrono in the Taycan....Thoughts?

    I have really appreciated being able to switch modes via the knob on the steering wheel. I find that much easier to do than fiddling with the screen, but that is just me.

    20” tires for the winter suggestions

    If the PZeros can make it through 8" of unplowed snow (as they have with me), they should be able to handle pretty much any winter situation.

    20” tires for the winter suggestions

    No complaints so far about the P Zeros. See my other post.

    The Blasted B Pillar

    I too am over 6' 3" and don't have any issues. That said, it could be my expectations. I used to own a '95 Mazda RX-7. Getting in that thing required some serious gymnastics.

    Expected mileage range drop

    How did you pull the consumption data for this chart? I just see consumption by trip in the app. I don't see how to export.

    Expected mileage range drop

    @louv when you say "precondition" are you talking about the battery temp or the cabin temp? Are you suggesting doing that with a timer?

    Expected mileage range drop

    I don't watch battery temperature closely. I can try keeping an eye on it. Outdoor temperature has gone from in the 80's and 90's to being in the 40's (and dropping). Cabin temp is set the same, and I usually keep the fan on pretty low. Good call on reviewing the consumption data in the...

    Expected mileage range drop

    I too am seeing about a 50 mile drop with the weather. (Mine has gone from 300+ miles to about 250 miles.) I am watching the energy consumption more closely to see if I can deduce whether consumption truly has gone up.

    Brakedust with standard vs PSCB brakes

    I too have standard brakes and have seen almost no brake dust in the first 3K miles.

    Why 130mph max speed?

    I removed the sticker on the second day. I have a plastic painting / drywall tool that I was able to slip under the sticker.

    Summer vs All Season

    I went back and forth on all season versus summer tires. Summer tires definitely give you way more performance. That said, the all season tires offer a lot of performance on this car. I went on a test drive and the dealer took a 25 MPH corner at 60 and the tires didn't make so much as a squeal...

    4S 93kW 100% range?

    At 85% my car most of the time has shown 265 miles of range. Divide that by .85 and you get about 310 miles at full charge. As the cold weather has rolled in I am seeing about 245 to 255 miles at 85% charge so more like 285 to 290 miles at full charge. I fully expect that number will drop as...

    First Taycan 4S Traded In!

    I too hope that Porsche gets on the ball with Android. I am not giving up Android either. I won't be trading in my Taycan, but it is a big issue.

    Winter Driving First Impressions

    Haven't tried that yet. Will have to give that a shot in the right place.
