    Odd SoC arrival estimate and charging behavior

    I was doing a local drive (about 100 miles round trip). On my return, I started at 50% SoC and set my destination for an EA DCFC near my house. The navigation typically shows your arrival SoC, but for some reason it showed my present SoC of 50%. I thought maybe it'll adjust itself once I...

    I just noticed this from the 2025 E-Tron GT pics. The new variable light control roof change the scrolling shade. The shade now opens from front to back. On the J1.1 it's the opposite. Anyone with a 2025 notice other differences with the roof?

    Argh! Cracked glass roof!

    Damn it, I've had the car for 7 days and today, I picked up the dread crack on the glass roof. It's clearly an impact related crack, so it'll be an insurance claim. It's on the non visual part of the glass, so I can still enjoy my VLC roof while I wait for the part. Questions: 1. For those...

    J1 GTS initial impressions

    Having just finished a 1000 mile road trip in my new-to-me Taycan GTS ST, here are my thoughts: Pros: Awesome speed. The car is deceptively fast. I have to often adjust how I drive and the lack of road and typical motor noises contribute to this feeling. ACC and lane keep and other safety...

    Cross/Sports Turismo trunk space figures

    Question - does the capacity figures quoted in North America for the wagon include the space on top of the rear cargo cover? I know in Europe it doesn't consider space above the cover. Does any CT/ST owners have pictures of variety of items packed into the boot for me to gauge how large the...
