    Consumptive, Soh and PCM 'Guessometer' Ranges

    Summary 1) PCM 'Guessometer' or 'GoM' Ranges using current SoC are the most optimistic and are calculations (predictions) biased towards the most efficient ride pattern recorded from a subset of your most recent trips. 2) Range derived from consumption data from your cars total trip history...

    OEM RETROFIT Solar Panel for Glass Roof Coming

    Here we go - recent article on the Fisher Ocean SUV and sure enough, it has a solar roof - and wait for it..... adds ca 5 miles per day (if left outside of course) - woohoo! :) Article here: https://apple.news/AIpc-9TyCRoOY4cnJV4I3ZQ This a much more interesting option (as discussed in...

    Tesla Model S Plaid TRACK PACKAGE vs Taycan Turbo S vs RS e-Tron GT

    Why wouldn't they use a Turbo S sedan? That extra CT weight is effectively like adding another passenger! Prob wouldn't be enough but better to see as like-to-like as possible. But, TBH, irrelevant as the Taycan so much better in so many (and really relevant) ways than the Camry... oops...

    🔋 Baseline for HV Battery SoH Performance (Battery Degradation Data by Taycan Owners)

    We just hit a 'milestone' of 60 cars now in our tracking of SoH and 126 readings to date! Thx to all that chose to share - some very clear results have come out so far. Cheers, C.

    50.000 km With My Porsche Taycan RWD

    Excellent thx - can you remind me that ECU reading (was this with PIWIS 'quick read' or your own OBDII tool), did you record the mileage when that was taken vs the mileage at 93% (was this the 49.4K Kms or a lower mileage?)? Most appreciated, C.

    50.000 km With My Porsche Taycan RWD

    Thx for sharing your Soh day - if its OK with you I'd like to add you car to the Baseline SoH Thread data sheet :) If you happen to have a few earlier OBDII readings for this car that we can plot too that would be great (think you hired at least one other data point from that prior Deep Test...

    Michelin Pilot Sport EV tires: Good or hot garbage?

    Curious as to what you had before and how these compare re road noise and general handling (better still if you have used Mich. PS4S tires before and how they compare to those - a proper benchmark for me!)?

    Walter Röhrl cool as a cucumber

    Rock solid - passenger's expression are pretty funny especially when he closes his eyes :)!!

    Lucid Sapphire by Savage Geese

    I guess thats where we differ - I can't put 'aesthetics aside' when purchasing a 6 figure car - I have to want to get in it when I walk up to it and the Lucid fails big time for me in this respect. As always these things are entirely personal :).

    Strange fan/ticking noise during morning power-up

    Hmm - thought I had followed up on this - must have done in another thread but they replaced the entire central control unit, screen and all - one piece - back in April this year and problem 100% solved.

    [Article] = as I've always said don't sweat the battery lifespan -- "Researchers make surprising discovery about lifespan of EV batteries"

    WAY too verbose couple of examples of estimating SoH (and a bit circular in reasoning perhaps) from either your known Soh (OBDII or PPIWIS) or from total kWh used to charge your the car if known/recorded (my EVSE ChargePoint does a nice job of this). The very last section might (or not) address...

    [Article] = as I've always said don't sweat the battery lifespan -- "Researchers make surprising discovery about lifespan of EV batteries"

    I can get a anomalous results if for example I calculate consumption using energy input from charging histories IF I don’t account for charging losses - thee are some other pitfalls in using other metrics etc.

    [Article] = as I've always said don't sweat the battery lifespan -- "Researchers make surprising discovery about lifespan of EV batteries"

    Just a ref to being sure to compare like to like in both how you both calculate consumption (no. diff ways) and derive means - nothing too cryptic :)

    [Article] = as I've always said don't sweat the battery lifespan -- "Researchers make surprising discovery about lifespan of EV batteries"

    It certainly seems from all the data to date that the initial often quoted ca 10% drop in SoH before a longer term flattening trend seems to happen far quicker in our Taycan’s say vs Teslas - in case of latter it’s usually over 6-10 years. 9 pts in 8 months does indeed seem fast and esp for a...

    [Article] = as I've always said don't sweat the battery lifespan -- "Researchers make surprising discovery about lifespan of EV batteries"

    Understood. Would be great to see you’re OBD or PIWIS Soh - prod, prod :). For ref are you talking GoM range or back calculated consumptive range? I’m interested in both as I still suspect there is some let’s say ‘odd’ range reporting going on with the cars averaging of consumptive use - in...

    OEM RETROFIT Solar Panel for Glass Roof Coming

    Ha - indeed - heard it was a particularly wet summer! We’ll be visiting family early Oct and hoping for better ;)

    [Article] = as I've always said don't sweat the battery lifespan -- "Researchers make surprising discovery about lifespan of EV batteries"

    Not true - we have 3 years of data :), and quite a significant evolution form a 2020 battery with many known issues to a much improved 2023 battery :) Otherwise agreed re battery development trends, and indeed a long way to go to match say Tesla data to date, but, by example, all my...
