    Well - RIM23 - you just explained the situation perfectly. Since being 8 months in various repairs the Trashcan has been now ca. 6 months in stable. Meanwhile the selling company Amcap Oy seems to have disappeared from Finnish market and only their Swedish managers listed in company register...

    Elon's political antics may help WA EV consumers

    What I have noted from LI-posts - there are many people especially from Germany who don't really appreciate kanzler Musk's involvement in local politics.

    Elon's political antics may help WA EV consumers

    Talking about hate - Tesla sales in Germany dropped 59% in January. Tens of %'s in many other EU countries. During 40's KdF Wagen was selling good. Todays AfD Wagon is just hated. Heil Musk!

    Let's go drifting! Porsche Taycan GTS sets new ice drift record

    Nah. Trashcan would be too bulky and slow on ice especially with those street legal tires. 14 years ago we had own ice track on our lake. Several other years too..

    Both radiator fans blocked - Requires Investigation

    Stones removed from fans in every service. Updated (?) fans and fixtures assembled as warranty. May cause all sorts of rumbling and squeaking and charging power can be limited.

    How to prevent 12v battery from dying when stored for 6 weeks without trickle charger or charging station?

    I don't have exact figures but during this 5 months it dropped from 80 to 65 because I let it circulate the coolant, heat the cabin and battery for two times. Then charged from 65 to 70 - just for testing.. Still showed 70% today. If the key is not nearby and you don't wake it remotely - it...

    Onboard charger defect

    OK. So a SW/FW bug then. I suppose you use 3x400V 16A plug where max. is the mentioned 11 kW. So I had similar issues - coming back from Porsche Espoo (260 km) and needed to take few kWh's but none of the DC chargers worked. Charged it with AC 11-22 kW during ca. 10 days and returned to airport...

    Onboard charger defect

    I did not understand your figures.. EVSE's showing 40 kW? However the charging problems sound familiar to me. OBC and converter changed. Whole story: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/1-year-gone-electrical-system-fault.19064/

    How to prevent 12v battery from dying when stored for 6 weeks without trickle charger or charging station?

    Looks like I may have the storaging record here as my 4S was put in garage 30.8.2024. So it has now stayed there ca. 5 months. Charged once from 65 to 70%. Powered on 2-3 times just to check there's no errors and reset the 12V charging cycles. It has no warming in the garage so temp. has been...

    Let's go drifting! Porsche Taycan GTS sets new ice drift record

    So there is/was one functioning Taycan in Finland! I saw one another last week as the flatbed driver was having his lunch at our local bakery. My 4S was usable for me 10 days during 2024.

    Stick or Twist? Do I get a replacment Taycan or look elsewhere...

    We have one larger car service house called 'Kokkolan Autohuolto' who has put a lot of effort in servicing electrical and hybrid cars too. They service ca. 16 000 cars per year. This gives them some perspective of the whole fleet of cars on our roads. The young boss makes also very objective...

    Stick or Twist? Do I get a replacment Taycan or look elsewhere...

    Long term reliability was the final reason I dropped thinking about Panamera Hybrids. Checked the amount of technology and how it was packed and planning how I will fix it when the car is 10 years old? (yes - no new car every year..) Decided to go for more simple solution ie. battery and motor...

    Stick or Twist? Do I get a replacment Taycan or look elsewhere...

    :no: from me. My 4S -20 was 10 days on the road during 2024. 8 months was spent in warranty repairs. Rest waiting Consumer disputes board to decide if this is just something that must be accepted as a Porsche customer (no decision yet). Few months without any loaner, then Audi A3 (- I suppose...

    What's the best mode for "fuel efficiency?" What's your experience? Who has done an empirical comparison?

    Basic principle in short - accelerate (uphills) coast (downhills) to maintain your average speed - without annoying other people. The less braking or regen the better. In regen you have to note efficiency in accelerating and in decelerating! It's better to use your kinetic and potential energy...
