" Time out of service " From all the posts on this forum, this seems to be one of the biggest issues. Is this issue addressed by Porsche supplying an equivalent loaner?

I don't understand. Yes, it takes a long time but charging will always be slow unless your battery is properly empty. How much could you have drained in 30 mins? Above 65% or so you won't see 150. Above 80% you are down to 50. PS: You also require a HPC that's willing to play to begin with...

Is that true? I see zero connection. Not going one way or the other. But since you mention it, some of my feature requests could very usefully be implemented via the app pushing out to the car.

Well, it will certainly get you a free cappuccino at your nearest Porsche Lounge.

Is it? The Charge Planner that crashes is the one on board, not in the app. Truth be told, I have not been successful with the planner in the app. I might spend time elaborating stops but when I send my route to the vehicle, nothing beyond the destination appears to arrive. The on-board nav...

It can afford to be, with this much heat going to waste.

That's interesting. My understanding was that the ECO mode merely affected the rear of the cabin. The heater is not as good as an ICE. How could it be? An ICE has ca 35% efficiency; 65% of the energy contained in the fuel is wasted as heat. Naturally, that waste heat is readily on tap to...

I suspect that given the long time it takes Porsche to address the issue, it isn't so much a "bug" but a fundamental design choice. My suspicion is that the system was designed for far fewer public chargers than there are now. As observed here variously, the current system seems pretty...

Given the verbosity of the Taycan on a wide variety of often imagined ailments, it is infuriating that we just get a non-descript "charging error" when the interaction with the EVSE somehow fails. It would be useful to know what exactly the offence was. Mind, does that charger not itself flag...

Ok - I took from your earlier parts reference that I can just replace the stud.

Very difficult. Infra investors in grid storage have made the same experience before. It isn't strictly the fault of the Chinese. It comes down to the fantastic advances in battery technology, which we all welcome. Add to this a completely irrational obsession with range among consumers. My...

The drop in general EV demand is also readily explained. From the very start it was true of the BEV revolution that few families could afford to splash a 100k on a run-of-the-mill SUV (or Tesla S). But the launch of these early models - also the Taycan - coincided with the backend of ZIRP...

Well - that is the wire act every warranty claim must clear, no? In this instance, it seems to me that Porsche would have to make the case for abuse. As I said, I have one wobbling too. It seems to me that they are not lasting the lifetime of the car, as one might expect. PS: The fun part...

Yes, that is partially my question. My feeling is that all-seasons + socks will possibly outperform just winter tires on snow. Most of the time, I drive on cleared major roads and feel there will be no difference between all-seasons and winter tires.

Correct. Extremely annoying. BUT - if you did not remove your snow chains on a dry road, you will likely attract a fine (for ruining the road, never mind your chains). And those socks are a lot easier to handle. The manufacturer reasonably points out that you would only fit those when you...

Sounds to me like wear on an item where no wear would be expected - warranty.

In researching tires for winter driving I came across something I did not know existed: snow socks. Anyone got experience with those? Looks like I want 4 for both axles (eg Arcol Control L + XXL). Then select Gravel Mode? (I am yet to understand why Gravel Mode is a button on the central console...

I see. Not what I took away from the OP. (Porsche quoted for the replacement of the trim, which OP felt unwarranted.) Perhaps OP should explain how he managed to break them. That said, one of mine has lateral movement that should not exist. Hence my interest in this thread.

How can you expect any BEV to keep its resale value when an equivalent (on paper) new Chinese BEV sells at half the price? We can see on this forum how many problems a BEV can manifest, and all the moaning aside, Porsche stands by the cars. I find it immensely implausible that the Chinese...

Indeed. What a pointless nonsense.
