    Glad to be done with Porsche and Taycan

    My Taycan CT has been gone for a week. Sure, I miss the handling in the Taycan, but I feel more confident that I won't get stranded in the EQS 450 SUV. We experienced drama in the Taycan almost every time we took it on the road. Stuff like the screens going dark leaving us unable to turn on the...

    Traded Taycan 4 CT for EQS 450 4Matic SUV

    Setting up the AC charging schedule at home is more intuitive in the EQS. Simply specify up to four time slots per day when NOT to charge. You can also specify a departure time like in the Taycan. Maybe MB follows this forum to learn from Taycan owners' experience. Another feature I like is that...

    Traded Taycan 4 CT for EQS 450 4Matic SUV

    EPA range on EQS 450 4Matic SUV is 285 miles. 100% charge at home indicated 347 miles. You probably won't have to wait 8-10 years to get an SUV that can comfortably make that round trip.

    Traded Taycan 4 CT for EQS 450 4Matic SUV

    I purchased a 5-seat version from dealer inventory. The mat in the cargo area is 43" long by 39" wide. The entire floor lifts up to expose a somewhat irregular shaped storage area. I did look at some EQS SUVs with the optional third row. They are more like the GLE with three rows. The EQS SUV is...

    SOLD: Taycan CT genuine Porsche cargo mat - $100 local pick up.

    This Porsche Taycan CT cargo mat was used for one year. It has a few scratches from carrying a rollator walker and wheel chair in the trunk. The image of the Taycan CT is molded in the mat, but it will also fit the sedan. This mat will protect the carpeted floor of your trunk. Local pickup only...

    Traded Taycan 4 CT for EQS 450 4Matic SUV

    I am not going to defend MBs styling choices except to say that the EQS SUV looks better than the sedan. The temporary $7500 tax credit is compensation for the styling I gave up by trading the Taycan. I am discovering more useful features everyday. For example, I can connect to my WIFI at home...

    Traded Taycan 4 CT for EQS 450 4Matic SUV

    Actually, I didn’t get lost. It’s almost 2:00 am and I needed more time to properly answer your question. Maybe tomorrow .

    Traded Taycan 4 CT for EQS 450 4Matic SUV

    I agree with you that this post does not belong in the General Taycan Topics forum which is the reason I posted it in the Porsche Taycan Versus… forum. If you look at other threads in the PTV forum you will see that pretty much every one is about another brand EV.

    Traded Taycan 4 CT for EQS 450 4Matic SUV

    I put a couple of hundred miles on a new EQS SUV since Saturday. The Taycan is definitely a better handling vehicle, but the EQS has a lot going for it. I had to give up the 800v architecture and the 2-speed transmission, but the MB does have two of my favorite features - air suspension and...

    Replaced PMC+ with Tesla Gen 3 J1772 Wall Connector

    Here are some photos of my EVSE installed on the post between two garage doors. The first photo shows the PMC+ plugged into a Hubbell NEMA 6-50 outlet. Since I was using a 40 Amp breaker the install was not really safe since the charger was drawing 36 Amps. I replaced the PMC+ with the new...

    Porsche should get its chargers from Tesla - Gen 3 Wall Connector with J1772 plug

    It seems that Tesla hid the Gen 3 J1772 Wall Connector on their shopping site. But if you search for the part number, 1509549-02-B, in the upper right corner the charger will be displayed and you can add one to your shopping cart.

    Steps to deactivate account when selling Taycan??

    I had that same reservation. On the recent trip I took in the Taycan the best we saw was 175 kW at DC chargers. The fact that Porsche suggests using the "battery friendly" option to limit the charging rate casts some doubt in my mind about how wise it is to charge at 270 kW. As a practical...

    J1772 plug locked on driver side (non-DC side).

    Finally had a chance to try the Grizzl-E charger with my EQS 450 SUV. Charged to the target SoC of 80% and had no issues removing the plug. So the Grizzl-E seems to be working correctly. This is good since the manufacturer never replied to my requests for help diagnosing the problem. I would not...

    Steps to deactivate account when selling Taycan??

    Thank you for the tip. I removed the vehicle and received the following email from Porsche. *************** *************** The Taycan 4 CT was my first Porsche and probably the best handling car I will ever own. Now I can cross Porsche ownership off my bucket list. I am planning to get a...

    Porsche should get its chargers from Tesla - Gen 3 Wall Connector with J1772 plug

    For anyone interested, here is a photo showing how the J1772 plugs on the Tesla Wall Connector and the Porsche PMC+ compare in size. The Tesla one cannot be disassembled.

    Steps to deactivate account when selling Taycan??

    I traded the Taycan CT yesterday. I was reluctant to select the Factory Reset option for fear of going back as far as Transportation Mode. I deleted the HomeLink entries, My account, GPS HOME address, and GPS destinations. I also deleted the credit card on file in the My Porsche account. My...

    U.S. Federal Tax Credit Question

    The tax attorneys on the forum are welcome to correct me if my understanding is wrong. I think the process goes something like this: 1) The tax payer does not sue the IRS in order to claim the tax credit. He/she simply takes the credit when filing the federal return. 2) One or two years later...
