I had a similar situation as a passenger in a Tesla Model 3 Performance. I normally love the sensation of speed, but I didn't enjoy that sudden acceleration. Am guessing at least part of the unpleasantness was due to being a passenger. I think the "launch mode" on any performance EV is a...

Very happy to hear Porsche is on top of this. As you said, I'm sure they realize you are blazing new trails here Don and want to make sure you're a satisfied owner.

Out of curiosity Lou, did the car give you any kind of indications there was a problem other than not charging at Level 3? Given the sophistication of the car (and the manufacturer :) ), I would have figured it would give you some kind of indication if the problem is with the car itself. Sorry...

Great shots Lou. Really enjoy hearing about your trek!

Best of luck on the trip! Great to see you're putting the Taycan through it's paces...

Fantastic commercial!

Great review! Thanks for sharing it with us.

With the BMW i3, in the winter most of us precondition the car. If the car is plugged in to a Level 2 charger, you tell the car when you are planning on leaving it and it will precondition the battery using the EVSE and precondition the cabin temperature (if you want it to) so the car is nice...

Interesting. Thanks for the info. I'm guessing you can get in and out of the car without the window coming down to clear the door seal at the top, but think the seal might not last as long if this happened all the time.

The fact that EA is a subsidiary of VW makes me think feedback from a Taycan ownerwould be really important to them. Very strange; wonder if this is just related to how far in from the curb the charger is mounted when it was installed? One question; have you run into any issues with trying to...

I did it on the front half of my Cayman (hood, front clip, front fenders, side mirrors) and it makes me feel less concerned about rock chips. The local Porsche dealership recommended this and I'm glad I listened. My daily driver has film on only the first third of the hood so of course all the...

He's providing details on why he feels comparing the two is ridiculous.

No, you guessed wrong. I did click on the link. My question was how do you interpret the AMCI testing as how a grandmother drives the car? Seems to me it gives you a pretty good idea on mileage someone might see who's just driving the car from A to B.

That was either a misquote or a poor translation. A statement like that is so counter to Porsche's culture. Just like the term "Tesla killer" is something made up my the automotive press, not the auto manufacturers.

ROTFL! Your quote really made my day; thanks.

No, I think it's you who interpreted the info to suit your pro-Tesla view. How does any of this say the car was driven like a grandmother does? They didn't flog the car; they drove it normally. I'd be more interested in what the EPA is doing different from pretty much everyone else. My gut...

"AMIC numbers are based on 75 year old grandmother driving" And you know this how?

I totally agree. Porsche (as with every other manufacturer) makes a series of tradeoffs when they design a car (handling, power, efficiency, etc). EV technology brings a whole set of tradeoffs (weight, range, battery life). If you don't agree with Porsche's tradeoffs, you can always buy...

FWIW, I've been using the ChargePoint Home for a couple years. Works great; very happy with it.
