I'm heading back to Europe sooner than expected, so unfortunately have to say goodbye to my Taycan 2.5 years ahead of schedule. It's a RWD car, cherry with black accents on the exterior, interior is the black standard interior (partial leather) with bordeaux seatbelts (match the exterior red...

If anyone's on the hunt for a RWD, my 2022 is going on sale since I'm heading back to Europe sooner than expected (thanks Zuck!). It's really well equipped for a RWD, MSRP was $112k. https://ambroos.io/taycan has details!

You could consider an e-tron. They're very practical trunk-wise (even the Sportback), significantly cheaper than the Taycan and more comfortable. Much easier to clean too. Even though it's a more practical SUV / coupé-SUV, they're less wide and less long than the Taycan. You get 200 miles of...

@DMTaycan can you send a photo of that screen in your car? This is the replacement screen for the AWD in the left 'tube' in the instrument cluster. If you can see a front motor there for your car, there is no issue. There's no other AWD indication in the car anymore. As for range estimates...

This configurator has been available for a long time for all locales. Here's the US English one: https://configurator.porsche.com/en-US/model/Y1BFC1 This is made for large showroom and expo displays, think TV-size touchscreens. It focuses on the visual options and is less convenient / more work...

Give it a day (parked in a location where the car has LTE). The licenses are refreshed regularly and it probably just hasn't pulled in the new ones yet.

No. All it does is give you an annoying popup telling you you could save some time by driving in range mode and making fewer charging stops. I did the trial and found it to be so useless and annoying I turned it off even before the trial was over. There's absolutely no point to PIRM if you're...

I suspect it's the same actual user interface code as the actual PCM, just with the code that talks to the car swapped out for code that pretends to be a car with dummy values. Everything else is replicated too perfectly for them to build it twice just to have this simulator.

The Taycan's platform is based on the MSB platform (the Panamera one), just with extremely heavy modifications. The non-EV electronics are just MSB ones, which are partially shared with Audi's MLB platform. SSP is most likely a Porsche-led platform, a high performance adaptation of the PPE...

I'm pretty sure it's available. I was able to add the Intelligent Range Manager trial to mine without issues. (And promptly removed it again - it's quite annoying.)

I think this has a lot of speculation that won't be correct. The Panamera is getting a new generation that's actually closer to a facelift with a new interior, and then I think the Panamera is going away. The Taycan essentially takes the EV Panamera spot in the line-up.

There are 22kW and 25kW CCS chargers, and many dealerships have these installed as they don't need the same beefy power lines but still provide a decent charge rate. Sorry, you're not getting 22kW AC charging.

Small sedans are only popular in North America (and shrinking even there), it would make no sense to have a sedan version of the Macan EV.

Cars optioned with Remote ParkAssist have an array of additional BLE antennas installed, which are used to communicate with the phone and determine its distance from the car. Since there's a hardware difference Remote ParkAssist will never be available for cars not optioned with it.

Audi recommends 80% for daily use. The e-tron (yes the fat SUV) and Taycan have pretty similar batteries and tech in general. Same infotainment too for example. In general you want to be as close to 50% as much as possible. On weekdays I have my Taycan profile set up to stick to 60% because I...

@TYKHAAAN AFAIK it's to properly present it as a list/source that can be browsed through with previous/next. There was some criticism that it wasn't possible to go through (SiriusXM) favourites with the previous/next controls, and this is how they fixed it. Not new to this update, my...

@TYKHAAAN you can re-order sources to put it back in at least the second level bar. Mine is set up for Search, Favourites, Spotify, Android Auto, FM.

Yeah 50kW can happen almost always until you reach 80%, after which it'll start dropping. You really don't need a preconditioned battery for it. The biggest risk is mislabeled or badly functioning 50kW chargers. If they're actually capable of delivering 50kW, you should have no issues receving...

I'm left-handed in the US and I still use it. It's a lot better at block letters than at handwriting, and block letters I can do with a finger on my right hand even if I don't write with it. You can stack letters (even with individually touched lines) to write whole words at a time. No need to...

Electricity doesn't magically disappear, 50kW chargers very reliably deliver 50kW to your battery. Reality won't deviate from the theory by more than a few percent.
