    Taycan 4S+ Cold weather experiences

    Just thought I‘d drop a few lines on last weekend’s experiences over here in the winter mountains of Norway. Got up to my cabin Friday evening, going from +5 Celsius at sea level to minus 10 C at 1000 meters altitude. Arrived with about 28% of charge left after roughly 290 km of mixed winter...

    I had my 4S for 3 weeks, and now I am replacing it!

    Can totally relate to that... had to take the BMW Touring to the shop due to a defect ABS sensor and I seriously thought something was very wrong with the whole car (noisy and jolting suspension, wobbling steering feel, very high engine & exhaust noise) - until I realised - nope... just an...

    Setting up charging to 85% for novice

    Called Porsche Assistance. They sent the local tow truck. By the time they arrived I was already halfway through the 12v process as excellently described here...

    Setting up charging to 85% for novice

    ....just great.... tried to edit the profile & timer settings two days ago. Put the car on charger last evening. Today it’s totally dead. 12volt bug bites again! And I asked the dealer specifically if this bug was squashed on my car as I took delivery in august.... turns out it wasn’t.....

    Auto tightening seatbelts

    4S+ w. 18 way sport seats in Norway, no tensioner. Did try some Turbos and Turbo Ss which did have it, but those were German registered demo cars.

    Setting up charging to 85% for novice

    This is exactly how I want my charge plan to be, in addition to a preheat (no charging) at 4pm when leaving from work. Been trying to set this these last couple of days, but all I get now is a red errormessage in the app; "This funciton is currently unavailable. Please try again...

    Setting up charging to 85% for novice

    I used to have a working setup limiting the charge level to 85% in the morning. Then for no reason at all the Taycan decided to keep on charging to 100% every night. I’ve tried deleting all timers/profiles and recreating them, but to no avail - still 100% charged in the morning. Quite...

    Ready for winter

    The Momo/Nokian combo worked fine over the mountain passes. The Nokians are a bit on the soft side on bare tarmac, but that will probably be a good thing once proper winter is here.

    Ready for winter

    Not just a cat - she’s a Maine Coon, and knows it! My fault, - I used to let her jump in the BMW convertible when working in the garage. She’s obviously color blind.....the Beamer is black....

    Ready for winter

    I agree on the gold vs chrome bit. Looking into a simple DIY on foliage to match the winter wheels :) The R3s are “R” rated, max 170 km/h. Max speed limit here is 90, so not a problem (if I ever do decide to become a criminal and do...say maybe 110 on an overtake, I still have quite a margin...

    Ready for winter

    Not a problem so far (only have about 2000 km on the car). I have a hill coming down to my house so I make a point of getting up to speed and braking hard just before I park it. And I rarely park outside over time. Just switched out the factory liners with WeatherTech ones. Quite happy with...

    Ready for winter

    I think the Momos turned out nice. Apologies for the dirty car - this is Norway in the autumn...rain & dirt everywhere. 20" rims w. Nokian Hakka 3s, 285/40 rear & 245/45 front.

    Silver Linings - Wireless Carplay (not Taycan)

    Just a quick side note regarding the Cayenne Hybrid; was fortunate enough to get to test that model on a racetrack over here on Thursday. That is one impressive car indeed! And to put it into perspective, we did whip both Taycans and 911s around that same track. Even though the Cayenne is a...

    Standard parking option vs reverse camera vs 360 parking?

    I'm an old school driver used to using mirrors and line of sight and not even trusting parking sensors as they tend to freeze over in winter. But I'm sure glad that I got the 3D camera on the 4S as rearward visibility is very limited! I've grown to appreciate the surround view a lot!

    2 hour computer update at dealership just received letter

    Had the "-1" thing on my August delivery 4S+ just yesterday. Switching audio sources and unplugging/replugging iPhone USB-C CarPlay and everything fine again. It helps being an IT guy and being used to software bugs :)

    Speed bumps.

    Taycan 4S+ here on the west coast of Norway. So far no issues with speed bumps in Normal mode, and we do have a ton of them around here. Have to use elevated mode going in & out my driveway but that's about it. Planning a trip up to my cabin (Geilo) this coming weekend. The last stretch up to...
