Note that the graph (charging curve) depends on initial SOC. You will experience higher charging curves at lower initial SOC. I.e. plugging in at 10% will result in a higher charge rate at say 45% SOC than plugging in at 30%. On a 350kW charger the difference in this example is roughly 260kW vs...
Innodrive is both pretty amazing and entirely useless in California and surrounding states as it insists on driving *exactly* the speed limit*, there is no way to specify an offset.
*) it goes without saying that I do that myself as well ;)
In my experience ABRP seems to be too conservative when using the defaults for Taycan, it does take elevation into account though. So does the Porsche app best I can tell. In my experience the in car nav will be the most precise in predicting charge levels and stops (unfortunately it has a habit...
I am a little confused, you say the car has a clean title so it wasn't a lemon from new, right? Have you looked at the service history? Anything stands out there? The car made it to 8k miles so I would say it's likely not a lemon in the original sense.
This is the main reason I use the built in NAV, the range estimation with the NAV is usually very good as it takes elevation changes into account. Having somewhat exact range estimation also allows you to notice your are cutting it close while you can still do something (Range mode, speed, heat...
I was struggling with this as well and it took me a long time to understand what is going on. The thing that is important to understand and also highly unintuitive is that the charging curve depends on initial SOC when plugging in. In my experience the Taycan easily and consistently meets the...
Heck, yesterday I drove 30 miles to visit my in-laws and my car looks basically the same. When it comes to the dirt per entertainment ratio you have me beat, … by a mile ;)
Love the trip report!
The Taycan is weird in that the charge curve depends on initial SOC. If you plug in at higher SOC you will get an overall lower charge curve. I think the cutoff is somewhere around 20%. If you plug in below that it will hold >200kw into the 50% SOC range while if you plug in at 30% you will get...
FWIW Porsche Reno has a capacity problem in the service department. Last time I checked they were scheduling service appointments 4 weeks out. This is caused by a lack of qualified mechanics (likely a fallout from COVID) and an ever growing customer base of Bay Area refugees. I believe they are...
The MY21 cars have an updated battery with different cell chemistry. I have yet to find out whether that actually makes a difference in charging behavior or anywhere else. In addition the PSCB brakes went from ten to six piston in front.
This is the one Suncoast will sell you. It's the original Porsche part. 9J1 044 800 25 with leather edges in my case. The photos are from a different car.
IIRC the PSCB brakes were changed for MY2021. They went from 10 piston to 6 piston calipers in the front. Supposedly the smaller ones were sufficient and reduce unsprung weight. That's why yours are smaller.
