I read somewhere that they are "considering" it. Which of course means nothing. But man oh man... 4 door convertible Taycan. I'd buy on the day.

feye might be correct. Has anyone got lots of driving figures before/after that they can prepare? (talking about pure Range figures now). I agree with regen; It's noticeably less. Before update the switch between 1st and 2nd gear on my car was quite "clunky". After update the gear change is...

I assume you're spinning off on my observations. Indeed it it curious. Believe hydraulics (servo), AC (eco), front air intakes (closed), battery cooling (minimal) etc functions are still "range"-y. But the drive - seems to be 99% AWD (as opposed to before update - FWD pretty must constantly...

So some more testing. Was stuck behind a trailer on HW so was doing 70 km/h. Going to this screen you see the energy flows. Cruising in Range (2nd gear) at 70km/h means pretty much no load. Still it's using both FWD and RWD. This was on a reasonably flat roat, 10*C, battery 20-ish. Not...

Cute. "Safety is much more important than aesthetics." True and agree. True is also the fact that changing the colour of your calipers in a proper way will not alter safety, in any way.

Having driven a 4S w/o for 5 months, then a Turbo with everything for 8 months, and now a loaner 4S w/o for 3 weeks - I believe I have pretty good experience in both. You definitely feel the difference! No Q about it. If it's worth the money - individual decision. If you want the best and money...

Tx, will look forward to your feedback. As it is now - cruising on the highway at 130 km/h - Range mode (AC in normal, not eco) and Sport mode uses pretty much the same amount of energy. I will continue testing myself back and forth.

It is my experience that in Range mode, it uses only FWD unless power requirements dictate the need for AWD. "Driving in this mode means driving with the most efficient all-wheel distribution possible." = Only FWD. Which mine does not, after update. Next time I'm on the highway, I'll check the...

Just got mine back from the latest WMA5/6 update - now SW 3397. Observed a change in behaviour on range mode on the way back. On Car/Trip in the menu - you can see energy flows. (blue = usage, green regen, 2WD/4WD). Before in range mode I clearly saw the rear wheels disengage when gently...

Intelligent Range Manager no a requirement. Add a charger as a stopover or final destination and your vehicle automatically preps battery temp at arrival (30*C if I'm not mistaken). Or, as we early adopters found out - Spots Plus+ for the last 20km and a heavy right foot works as well.

Good. Porsche had invested a lot of time, money, effort into the Taycan. And it shows. Why stop? I believe it is the obvious way forward. Can't see any negative side to it. Next-gen solid state batt, w/o the need for precious metals on behalf of child slave labour, 800km+range, ISO 15118/V2G...

Gorgeous! Well done!

37, First P as well, Active SW engineer, Never owned T, Never owned BC, never owned GME. We're pretty similar, deduct 2 decades and investments. All good, brother. I fully agree P can improve, *easily*, on the software-side of things.

Yep, of course the real issue is that Porsche builds cars to be driven by the driver, not ipads on wheels. I, as well, assumed you're trolling. And still do. If not - I might be getting to old for this. This forum has changed -a lot- in the last 3-6 months.

Bad taste. 2 people are dead. Stupid or not. No joke to be found.

ALK is "acceptable" (not good) on highways. I use it quite often when boring drives with the family. I'm 100% sure it can and will be improved programmatically during the years. The thing that bugs me is that it "pops out" of ALK without notice. I'd venture to say it is a hazard. A slight...

Negative, negative and negative. It uses it's own separate battery. Being charged while main 12V being charged + 1 hour after. Battery lasts 12-18hours standalone.

Let's overnerd this, completely! I'll even pretend I understand 1/3 of what you're about to write! (I do, genuinely, look forward to quantification.)

"Cut the D or cut the P". Easy. Congaz on the +1 :)

I've grown to appreciate the "build in" settings - something I didn't in the beginning. I'm normally in "normal" - no need for 1st gear in my day to day drive (with wife and kids in car). When the desire is there, switch to Sport+ and the car really comes alive like and ICE with sound...
