Unless you have dedicated 100 amp service at home to power a 19.2kw charger - it’s a waste. No the number of level 2 chargers exceeding 11kw is very rare. Having owned EV’s since 2017 I have seen only one. Even at home higher powered charging will cost more to install and I think you’ll...
I have owned a 2019 panamera 4s , 2017 911 4s , 2022 lucid Air grand touring, 2020 Taycan turbo- and now own a 2022 BMW IX 50 and a 2013 Taycan Sport turismo GTS. I traded The 911 for the panamera because the 911 was a pure sports car with limited utility. I traded the panamera for The...
Regarding hotels - I always check on the App too verify that the car is being charged. Usually about 30 minutes after I drop it off and then later in the evening. That way you can go have an intervention if it’s not charging rather than being surprised in the morning.
So bigger battery will provide more range presumably along with more weight - 300kw charging is meaningless. I had a lucid air with 300kw charging and never got more than 260kw at DC chargers and frequently got less then 170k. . Also my Taycan has 270kw charging and likewise almost never get...
I went from a 2019 panamera 4s to a Taycan turbo. Taycan handles so much better and tech was much better. Also Taycan drives much smaller than panamera. I understand your move though if your making a lot of road trips and relying on EA.
I was asking the other guy also before I saw your reply. It came through after because your reply was so quick. I Found it thanks based on your reply. I Had previously been looking on mobile App and it wasn’t there?
How did you aquire ALK? Is it the same as lane centering? I have ACC and some form of lane keeping (ALC) but it really isn’t very good. It more like lane departure warning where it kicks you back into the lane
The passenger screen is a nice to have but don’t sweat this one. First of all it only works if there’s a passenger in the seat. Doesn’t help you when driving solo. Second it doesn’t provide anything that you don’t have on the main screen. Your passenger can reach over 12 inches and select...
Agree with the comment that Porsche and Tesla are on two different levels. However Porsche is still overpriced. Too many options that should be standard . I don’t regret paying 168k for my sport turismo GTS but it is not worth twice the price of a model S long range if money is a consideration.
I have owned 2020 Tycan turbo sedan and now own a 2023 GTS Sport turismo. They drive identical from what I can tell. Biggest difference is range has improved over the years.
I have the Sport turismo GT with 21 inch wheels and find it very comfortable. Not as much ground clearance as the CT but certainly not a problem as far as a comfortable ride.
As some of you know - I own a Taycan GTS and a lucid air Grand touring. Technology speaking the lucid is amazing - 818HP - 469 miles range on 21 inch wheels . Dream drive pro with LiDAR and Surreal sound pro with Dolby atmos. Soft close doors, massaging seats - s class back seat . Drives...
In September 2016 I bought a Tesla model x only to learn two weeks later that 2017 teslas would be equipped with full self driving hardware. I immediately traded my 2016 model for a 2017 model with FSD at a cost of 30k. 5 years later the self driving feature was not much better than my 2016...
Geico is a good company but like most bigger carriers offers shops a lower labor rate than shops charge non insurance customers. Also they won’t pay for the extra items that companies use to pad there bills. So it’s merely about economics and profit margin for the shops. I wouldn’t worry...
