Interesting new terms… According to Webster’s; Ultra means Extremely Hyper means High Strung, Exciteable I’ll use the Extremely Fast one because I’m usually in a hurry, but if I have time to kill, the High Strung one sounds like more fun.

Mission Es, color matched. They were the reason I stopped walking while in a parking lot 2 years ago and couldn’t stop staring. A year later, money down…

As an EV’r for the last 7 years, range was not a big deal as long you have an EV and a gas car. We had a Model S 60 with 170 miles of range, and a gas Equinox for trips. Once we sold our last gas car and went full EV, we still needed a long range traveler. Even though we only take 2 1000+...

To be honest, I can’t blame him. I get mad when people park in my spot as well!

there is a previous thread on this already, but for Porsche to hold a similar motor torque on RWD between the lower voltage PBP battery vs the higher voltage PBP+ Battery they already run at a higher amperage on the PBP. They can do it on the PBP+ as well but they currently limit the PBP+ to...

it was hovering around 33kwh/100miles one additional thing to bring up is that the car has the PCM update (colored icons). Seems like that makes a range change….

Vehicle configuration: 2022 RWD PCM updated (color icons) Mission E wheels, all season Goodyear tires Manual charge doors Air suspension Range setting PBP+ battery Drive speed 81mph, air on 73f The trip went from Central Florida to Knoxville TN and back. Approx 720 miles each way with many...

Looking at the empty grove in the side mirror since I took delivery 4 months ago…. It always felt like it needed to be made for something So I pin striped it! $6 Mod.

Years ago someone asked me if I could drive my Tesla in rain…… Innocent enough question I guess… thank goodness for the rubber tires..

I would have answered him: “Done with my wallet?” “Agreed, if it did it might light the gas in that thing your in!” and to his final statement, my answer would be….. “we’ll the government had to find some way to fund the $7500 kickback their giving us!” And then I would be glad the Taycan...

Tesla certainly has changed our perception on not only what fast is but what should be fast…. If Teslas first vehicle was garbage truck, we’d probably all have expectations that garbage trucks should be sub 3 sec 0-60… For me, the reality is that I have a family of 4 and needed a 4 door sedan...

probably a little more detail than most people want, I would hope the the designers of the chargers open the circuit (relay) when the car is not calling for power. I can hear the relay close when I first plug the car in. If I could verify that it opens after (while in hold mode) I would feel...

I’ve had EVs for 10 years now. Volt for 4 years, Model S for 7 years and now Taycan. I always leave the cars unplugged. Although I have to be careful with the Tesla with its horrible vampire drain. The Taycan has almost no vampire drain. The reason is, I live in Florida, the lightning capital...

Yep, at least my settings are so far off normal, I can notice the moment it happens.

It’s funny, as our cars start to become more technically complicated than our phones our expectations are that they are still less glitchy…. My Taycan is still less glitchy than any Android phone I’ve ever owned. It has a little way to go to get to my first (current) Apple phone. But still in...

267, and confirmed to meet this on a long trip. I am very happy with this because I have the mission e wheels. configuration: 2022 RWD Mission E wheels Goodyear all season tires Manual charge door Metal roof Range mode 80 mph cruise setting Air conditioner on (Florida)

Hmmm, I’ve tried multiple attempts at EA stations with mine and so far the most I’ve gotten is 173kwh. This was on a 350kw charger with a less than 20% state of charge. Battery has always been warm and out side temp is warm. Starting to think something is wrong with my car…. Also I have the...

It better be covered, I asked specific questions like this before taking the insurance for $2700…. They said they also cover ding repair as well.

I’ve been a “car guy” since I was 10 years old. Became a Mechanical Engineer at a Michigan University so I could design and build cars. Was an Automotive Design and Manufacturing Engineer for 20 years (now Aerospace). I used to work with Porsche. I have a Tesla Model S and a Porsche Taycan...

I hope everyone has been reporting this to NHTSA (only 11 reported so far). This is a safety issue and has been happening for at least 4 months now. On Porsches own notice they say it is only happening on a “small number of vehicles”. Clearly they are not understanding the impact this issue is...
