It looks like the child of a Taycan and an Aston Martin DB4 to me. But not in a good way

I always use m/kwh and it’s normally beteen 1.6 and 4 depending on driving. But after a software update last year the maths went completely screwy. Basically whenever it went over about 3 it reset to zero it seems. The net effect (or possibly the cause) was all the maths was out. It couldn’t be...

Whilst I am attracted to the Ford and Hyundai there is one other reason that really swung the Audi for us, and that’s VAGs approach to driving experience. I didn’t like the one pedal driving in the Tesla and so I bought the Taycan on the very day I tested both. The Audis drive like Porsche. It...

We have a 2021 eTron and I love driving it. Range is terrible in its class but honestly it’s never been an obstacle. We’ve been to both ends of the country and we just charge it when it’s low. We looked at the Q4 but my teenage kids were cramped in the back. So that basically ruled out...

And sometimes, it’s the fault of Gelato!

Here’s another example where the numbers simply don’t add up, so I’m afraid I just don’t have confidence in the software. It’s a pretty poor show really. And I’d like Porsche to take notice https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/tyre-pressure.2262/

the maths don’t add up here either: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/tyre-pressure.2262/

In any case, the point of the post wasn’t whether it’s anyones favourite metric, it’s whether anyone has gained any traction getting this buggy software up to scratch. This isn’t the only thing wrong with it and I’d like to know what route Porsche offer and how they respond to complaints like...

why is it useless? It’s a standard metric for comparison and easily converted into money just like mpg.

Yes Fair call. In my professional experience I doubt it’s a problem with my specific car. For one thing it’s just been for the firmware upgrades and has started showing symptoms of poor testing in other areas, economy for one - which is an easy calculation. I’m starting to suspect the maths...

That’s not a typo, it’s a bona fide calculation from the PCMI’m sorry for the clickbait title but I’m fed up with the shocking software quality we’re putting up with on these otherwise fantastic premium cars. I mean seriously. This hacks me off. I know there are others. The dealers could give...

Are we sure the pluses in the deviation diagram don’t mean that’s how much you need to add that would make more sense perhaps?

PCM, yes it does. The temp has varied between 0 and 10c over the last week and maybe varies by about that amount but the diff shown in the brackets is consistently much more than that, as shown.

Thanks. But if that’s true then the car as pictured above is telling me I need to inflate my tyres to 29psi?

Another bug - it thinks it’s already charged, but it’s still going up, and I can’t adjust it. No idea where it’s going to stop, maybe 100% :(

I have exactly this issue after arriving home on 4% having ignored all it’s suggested charging stops. I can’t seem to break out of it either.

Unfortunately this didn’t take my car out of planner mode. It still says that in planning mode it’s going to ignore all timers and profiles. it did ask my to stop at several cheffing stations but knowing I could charge at home I ignored its range anxiety. I don’t understand why it’s still in...

Sorry. To be clear. Everything is as factory supplied. The pressure drop I kinda moved on from, no answer. A glitch? But now I’m questioning my whole understanding of what’s correct. The software maths is pretty shaky on other things like “mpg” so perhaps the TPM is the same. Perhaps the...

What, wait! 3.8 on a road trip? I’ve managed over 4 in my RWD once or twice early on but I rarely get more than 2.8 on a run anymore. I’ve *never* seen the range as high as that, way over MSRP isn’t it? In fact since the last software update I’ve done considerably worse, and since the maths bug...

Taycan base. 20” wheels, 245 and 285 rear. Summer or all season Pirelli tyres, not sure
