No one really knows what is the recommended tire pressure on Taycans; I believe Porsche have multiple random generators, which they use to issue the recommended tire pressure in different media/channels. For instance, for the same model and wheel size (using my case of 4CT with 20"): - the...

Good point on detours. My calculation did include, however, everything related to the charging stop. Staying on point :) , what/how EA is funded is still irrelevant: evidently they are not building stations in your area, and neither is anyone else. So, while I agree with you that "enterprises"...

(I think) it's complicated. Porsche probably contracted a supplier to manufacture their design. Or could have contracted a company to design everything. I'd be inclined towards the former, given that the EVSE "captures" the "Porsche design ethos" :rolleyes:. Then comes PCNA - technically...

Correct; once this thread reaches a conclusion, we can start one on the depreciation of MY27 Taycans. Also correct; whether those numbers will withstand contact with reality, though, remains to be seen. And even if they hold true, their value/importance to you is likely to differ from anyone...

Well, that’s a bit of an exaggeration; in a year+ of charging/several dozen sessions, the number of times I spent more than 30min at one location can be counted on one hand - usually because of queues/downed stations. A decent charge is ~50kWh, and even at an average speed of 100kW that’s half...

"Closeout sale - EVERYTHING must go! Final days! Must make room for vastly improved replacement. Make an offer. Please."

The big deal is the rarity of the event. Also, it’s kinda cool (literally) and eerie at the same time. (I’ve watched the previous one from my backyard.) I dunno, some people like to attend sport events/concerts/other “live” things in person. ??‍♂️

My observations match @Murph7355 ’s - I’ve tried Range mode twice, and in both occasions it felt dangerous not being able to accelerate. I had my pedal floored, cars flying left and right (was on the 2nd slowest of 4 lanes), doing 60mph and fumbling with driving modes. (The other dangerous part...

@Vim Schrotnock Re: grid capacity and increases consumption. According to this, US total consumption is at 3.9TWh, vs 4.23TWh production. Domestic consumption is at 1.5TWh, and the largest of all sectors. I can’t find it right now, but Car and Driver published recently a chart with the...

“Tell me a bit about yourself, and why you want to join us at Miele.” “As a team member at Cariad, I designed and implemented the charging programmability for Porsche’s Taycan model. I tamed a simple problem with a complex, multi-axis modeling. It was a very-well received feature, and it...

I moved from the Taycan (base) to the 911 (996, base-ish) last Thursday. Amazing feel, noise, manual gearbox/3-pedal experience. Then I moved back to the Taycan on Sunday, for a trip to the skiing area, and to the hardware store. It worked great today in traffic, too. Tl;dr: I find it’s best to...

Waiwaiwait: your oven received more OTA updates than your mower and headphones combined? That is one frighteningly smart oven, I bet it prepares the ingredients and not just cook them? It may possibly show more than the time, too.

My must-haves for longer trips: - the larger battery - heated seats and steering wheel - air suspension - adaptive lights (PDLS, plus or not) - ambient lights (ok, maybe not a must, but it bugs the hell out of me when one of the cupholders goes dark) - good tunes (these I have to bring myself...

Do you mean “drive through Denver”? Btdt.

I think the key question (for me) is: had I known all this back then, would I have waited another 1.5 years? It’s not a resounding ‘no’, but that’s mainly because of the financial angle (markets etc.). Porsche themselves said the new model saves 40min over a 1200km trip - and that’s just not...

As long as a kid of the day/age stops, mouth agape, watching a contemporary 911 drive by, Porsche will continue to sell their cars 20-30-40 years later. Sure, not all kids will do that, and that’s okay. It’s really not about the UX, the software, the features..

The most meaningful update I’ve received demuxed the AC controls in “sync” mode; where previously sync would merge the 2 elements (temp with up/down buttons and the fan indicator) into a single one, that is no longer the case after the update. Umm, yeah, that’s all I got. I’m still hoping for a...

They also indicated the cx can choose the level of power made available.

It is, for sure, a matter of appetite for risk - in this case, financial. I am extremely adverse to physical risk (hate rollercoasters, although I ski and drive faster than I should) but, contrary to your definition, I don’t consider myself financially foolish. (Although that would explain my...
