imagine the following. You have a bank account. Money gets direct deposited from your job. There are no debit cards. You have to take out cash for expenditures. If you want to redeposit your cash, the bank charges a 20% service fee, so only 80% of your cash actually goes back into your account...

Unfortunately, I did not contribute this year. Apologies for not pulling my weight. Wait, I have a 2024 Cayenne loaner. Does that count?

Woah woah woah. I don’t recall ever claiming I can afford anything I do. Besides, my Taycan is just a lowly 4S also.

No, I don’t think it does. I’ll try to look up the motor and inverter differences, unless someone else has the information closer at hand and can share it before me.

The motors and inverters are not all the same. There is some sharing in different trims, but, in general, they increase as you go up in trim.

I would never up-badge any car ever.

I’m all for people doing whether they want to their car….but please do not up-badge it. I have a 911 GTS tuned to > 600HP. It’s not a turbo. It’s not a turbo s. It’s a tuned GTS. Its badge is factory deleted though because those scripts get long and busy.

Always charges to at least 25% target when plugged in Charges to 100% target if no timers and no profiles, or if you have a profile with preferred times and no timer, or if direct charge Charges to min profile setting immediately if set to optimized Charges to timer target at departure time...

If you really mean difference between applying regen from throttle lift vs brake pedal, there is no difference. Those are just different input interfaces to request the same thing, a negative motor torque. There aren’t different “types” of regen in that sense.

Between Tesla and Porsche? I don’t know. But I’m not sure that’s “the essential” question. It’s a question, for sure. But the essential one? First, Porsche can recup significantly higher, so even if less efficient (and I don’t know that it is), it has more potential. Second, the “essential”...

Are you plugged into 120VAC? That’s about how long it takes on that supply. Shouldn’t be that long on 240VAC. Even a low power EVSE.

I agree, but all other things equal, non-moving will last longer/have less issues than moving. Everything else is not equal though; as I made point about energy storage and refilling being more complex in an EV vs ICE. Refilling specifically, it’s difference of active vs passive. It’s a passive...

You’re at your limit of providing information because you don’t know what you’re talking about. I asked you a simple question and didn’t answer. Because you don’t know. And you don’t know because it’s not there. You just provide links to things that you think are related. FYl, I work in...

Which moving parts are added to the system to add regen braking. Be specific. Name them.

That’s my wife’s name. Maybe I should name my car Heidi. Then when I say things like “I love Heidi!”, “Heidi is the best thing that’s ever happened to me!”, “I would die before I let anything happen to Heidi!”, my wife will think I’m talking about her.

I’m not sure what your confusion is, but the original post specifically said drivetrain. It didn’t appear to be trying to hide anything, which is what your response seems to suggest. And there’s a huge difference between “parts” and “moving parts”. Parts that don’t move (and no, they aren’t...

That’s how I’m referring to OPD from now on… “OPD? You mean lawnmower mode?”

to follow up on this, capping the decel rate at 4.5m/s as shown in the graph, the 400kW would be at or above around 88mph. Lower speeds would decel at a higher rate than 4.5m/s at 400kW.

kW is power (rate of energy); not energy. Has nothing to do with speed, really. You could dissipate at 400kW from 1mph if you have the means for it. The motors can’t at the speed. I would think the friction brakes can. This is the right way to think about it. It’s a deceleration rate. Not a...

I still maintain you can drive the Taycan with just one pedal if you’re willing to receive braking assistance from the car in front of you. Now if you have a line of Taycans on the road….i don’t know…but fortunately they are rare here and I almost always have an F150 in front of me to assist.
