    Colder Weather Battery Endurance

    Many good things said here, just want to add: You can largely mitigate cold weather by charging just until you leave. The battery is then warm from the charging process and range normalizes, especially if you have a heat pump. Use a charging timer setting for this.

    Tall drivers long journeys

    No problem here (6 ft 2"), and I am critical with seats. I have the 18-way sports seat and really took some time in the driveway to adjust it properly. All good for me.

    Does anyone ever actually use Sport mode?

    I use Sport more than SP actually. But not using both a lot. They're both pretty extreme.

    A Taycan or an BMW I5 M60- what would you do?

    I have a brand new BMW X5 50e (for the wife), which is a very good car. Plus I have a Taycan Turbo. The Taycan is far better – for what it is: usability, charging, App, ride, speed is all brillant. After trying several EVs and hybrids, I am still super happy with the Taycan. I even don't want...

    Taycan Facelift spotted estimated >100kwh usable battery and 300 kw charging

    I neither have a problem with range nor charging speed. Actually, I limit charging speed to protect the battery and there's no difference for me. Also, I don't want to carry a bigger battery and hence heavier car.

    Real Range of Taycan

    The Taycan states the projected range quite pessimistic. Other than my previous Tesla, where it was very optimistic. However, there is no such thing as a definitive "range". Range is always re-calculated dynamically, based on previous consumption. What I get in reality is between 235 and 310...

    Electric car sales switch into reverse (Times UK Article)

    Well, EVs are very expensive, electric charging is very expensive; If you do the math, a hybrid or diesel is cheaper (I have a BMW 50e, like 80k € cheaper than the TT…) But especially the Taycan is brillant. So same story. Very good car, not cheap.

    20" Vs 21" Wheels Comfort and Handling

    Considering a Taycan after 5 years of Tesla's - what do I need to know?

    Switched from Model X to TT. Best advice is prob drive one. I like the Taycan MUCH more. But you decide.

    Is there a doctor in the house?

    Ph.D. won't do here, right? ;-) Anyways, as the driver, no probs with the Turbo. My wife, as a passenger, not so happy. Mostly b/ breaking. Tesla was worse (b/ one pedal drive). Two things that help: 1. pills 2. coast/ sail and don't break harshly (which means: don't accel so much)

    New tires at 4657 miles?

    Tires on EVs last pretty long, mine are 12000 miles now with 75% left. Of course, all-season tires are bad but the torque discussion is bs – traction and ASR is significantly better with EVs. My recommendation is to go and see those tires for youself. Make pictures. They also probably will...

    Taycan Sales Declining

    Nope, not the sales are declining, the deliveries are. Sales is (too) high, still

    Why is the Taycan so long?

    The dimensions are a consequence of the design criteria, such as * ride quality (--> length) * corner dynamics (--> width) * range, interior space, two trunks… That's basically it.
