Just not true, you have to activate updates.

SOC is a calculated value. The actual state of charge (SOC) of a battery depends on parameters (temperature, pre-heating, ...) and the range depends on parameters (previous consumption...). So, this is absolutely normal.

Nice work, thanks. Will look at that over the WE...

sic Plus, w/o passengers throw up less frequently.

Well, especially with EVs a lot depends on politics. I made profit when I sold my 991.1S (kinda regret selling it), I don't expect to repeat this (or anywhere near) with the Taycan. Especially electricity price rose to insane amounts in Germany. So, I enjoy the ride and forget about it.

It depends a lot on how you measure. In Germany, we see currently around -7°C (19°F). Range/ consumption is very good if the car is charged before (b/ battery is warm and heat-pump works well). Not so good if the battery is very cold when you start.

It's certainly smart not to add more battery weight than you actually need. Pro Perf Battery reasons are, as stated before: * resale * performance (is actually more impactful than the spec suggests as perf is reduced at lower SOC) * range

Taycan's a wide car… But excellent handling. Go for Rear-wheel steering.

Porsche most likely will increase prices in March, as usual.

The Webasto heater V10 is faulty. I hope to receive the v11 this week now. Some parts where delivered with errors due to the pandemic and they still have backlog to fix this.

YOu don't replace the whole battery, just modules.

Wow. US insurance is expensive. But I get it, roads are very unsafe and lawyers expensive ;-) I pay ~700 EUR here in Germany. Taycan got cheaper as they initially overestimated the car specific risk.

No. The '22 is fine, '23 no different. Wait at least for the facelift in fall '23, or better for the all new Taycan

I just saw the "Auto Blip" option today. Cannot find it anymore...

funny one

Actually, simple: With EVs, AWD has no disadvantages, besides price. And lots of advantages. AWD EVs have 2+ motors, hence traction and stability is far better than in conventional ICE AWDs. Plus almost no increase in consumption, as 1 motor can be decoupled.

It's actually irrelevant. The range is calculated from previous consumption. So if they just maneuvered the car a bit, the calculated range is v low because the (short distance) consumption was high. You need to drive a bit yourself ;-)

Nope. I get more range, like 10-15% increase (in summer), winter don't know yet.

It absolutely will NOT invalidate warranty!

Congrats! Nice color!
