Here is the step by step (it's a bit lengthy)... I use the following three things to plot out my routes for a road trip: Porsche Factory Navigation: I input the final destination for the day in the factory navigation (e.g. Aloft Raleigh Durham Airport Hotel). The Porsche Charger Planner does...

I am doing another one of my long distance drives from Georgia to Atlanta Connecticut. Today's leg was 400 miles to Raleigh, North Carolina. I noticed that as one of the feature updates, now when you use the Porsche Charging Planner with the factory navigation to select an Electrify America...

You can also reconfigure the split of the fans between the seat cushion and back.

I have had my car for about 19 months. I charge to 100% before road trips. I charge to 85% when I drive locally. I leave it at 85% for extended periods (1 to 4 weeks at a time). I have not experienced any noticeable decrease in range other than the normal decrease due seasonal temperature...

If you want a technical explanation, see post #39 in the link. Fyi, I recently bought a new Samsung cellphone, and it too has a setting to limit charging to 85% to protect the battery. https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/ok-to-full-charge-to-100-regularly.2911/page-3

I have owned three. The last one was a twin turbo V12 DB11. I bought it less than a year before the Taycan. Gorgeous car. It didn't get enough love after I got my Taycan. I sold the AM.

Good point on the Level 2 vs DC fast chargers.

First of all on the Taycan lower screen during charging press the mi/min it will change it to kW. See post number 54 in the link below. https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/i-ask-and-answer-why-wont-my-taycan-charge-as-fast-as-i-want-it-to.779/page-4

Here is 35% (it's the legal limit in Georgia).

I don't notice anything when the massage seats are off (no lumps or added stiffness). It is still one of my favorite options especially for road trips.

@madeyong - perhaps you should call Porsche Cars North America to ask if the initial 3 years of free 30 minute EA charging, as well as the other Porsche Connect features (these are more important than the free charging) are transferable (or if you need to pay a new subscription fee).

Nano ceramic is awesome for heat rejection. I have 35% on the sides and rear (75% on the windshield). With the black leather interior, the 35% is dark enough that I can leave items on the back seats that remain fairly well concealed.

I have owned more expensive cars than the Taycan, but have purchased them vs. leasing. My Taycan was the most expensive car that I have leased. I was unaware of the MRM issue until it was delivery time. My decision to lease was that my 2020 was Porsche's first full EV, and I was a bit nervous...

@Dave EV - did the dealer do any of the software updates (e.g., power loss campaign) around the time you started to notice the decrease in range? I've had my 4S since April 2020. Even though it was an early build, my VIN was not subject to the update. My current range is still about 245 miles at...

Also if you are planning to use the DC chargers in the winter months, it is important to precondition (warm up) the batteries using the Porsche Sat Nav and inputting the charger as a destination in the Porsche Charging Point of Interest menu. If you don't the battery will be much slower to charge.

The wife has always liked her Cayennes (we have had 4). Recently she expressed an interest in the Mercedes G Wagon. The concept MB EQG is on my list to try something different.

The hardest option decision happened after I had my Taycan for about 10 months. It was whether or not to keep my V12 Aston Martin DB11. With the Taycan's arrival the DB11 sat in the garage most of the time. The option I chose was to sell the DB11.

I have hidden radar detectors and laser shifters in two other cars (not my Taycan). I don’t get shot often with laser without some other warning through the apps, but when it happens it is worth every cent of satisfaction hearing “front laser shifting” and knowing the speed reading was after I...

That setup is probably $9k plus with all the custom fabrication (also whenever you show up in a high end car, the "normal" price always seems to change a bit higher for the same work)

Nice setup. Ability to jam Dragoneye is key.
