    Performance drop with low SOC?

    No specific selection to pre-heat the batteries. Warming or cooling the interior before departing uses energy from the batteries and pre-heats them, more if you are not plugged into a charger.

    Performance drop with low SOC?

    ICE cars have more horsepower in cold air - denser with more oxygen to burn.

    North Pointer? Compass Rose? Anything?

    It’s simple - my wife stops complaining about the map turning (and making her sick) when the map is North up!

    Don Breaks His Taycan - The Saga of the 12v Battery

    Have been trying for months to get the 12v battery to discharge - multiple Porsche Connect operations, different departure methods, different charging methods, controls in different modes, etc. All to see if a trickle charger through the OBDI port will bring it back to life. No joy! A big...

    One sure way to fool authorities (you need snow, though)

    Our Turbo S with P-Zero summer tires has that issue (Porsche calls it tire scrub) with slow U-turns or turns on wet or even dry pavement, especially with a little sand or gravel. First time it happened we thought we hit a pothole.

    How to set to profile to only charge to 85%

    Agree; warm, moist, and mold are not a good thing - the reason airplanes stored in the US are sent to the desert. Flexible parts, rubber or synthetic, bother me the most with older cars, especially in the suspension and steering. Like tires, after 6 or 7 years they do not perform well. Am now...

    How to set to profile to only charge to 85%

    In Ed’s defense (heaven forbid ?) a vehicle kept in a controlled environment lasts longer. If it stayed in use one year longer, the environment would be far better than scrapping it earlier.

    Personalized License Plates - What’s Yours / What do you Suggest?

    Mine is a veteran’s plate with a foreign war medal on it (Vietnam) - hopefully for some mercy from the police!

    Is it worth getting the car ceramic coated ?

    We have purchased four Porsche' and all are glass coated (ceramic in marketing speak). Would never have a new car without it. The oldest is a 2012 Cayman S Black Edition that still turns heads and beads water like the best wax. You will love how easy the car will be to wash, especially the...

    Taycan 4s parked on snow rolling forward - how why and wtf??

    On ice, snow, rain, or almost any surface, the shortest stopping distance is with very heavy pressure on the brake pedal to kick on the ABS. Especially important on slick surfaces so you have steering control (no comments from drifters - I am teaching grandchildren).

    Consumption and full battery charge level

    Both front & rear are below 40 psi at no load (driver only) in the manual. The door frame tire pressure is at maximum load (four people and luggage). Partial load increases both (rear faster) to a nice intersection at 40 psi for all four...

    would you buy taycan if it wasn't electric ?

    The best of both worlds may be the Porsche 918 - 8 cylinders and electric. My wife and I each had two hot laps at Leipzig in a 918 driven by a professional. Not sure what impressed me the most - braking, acceleration, or its ability to straighten the double chicane (that part might have been the...

    Door sill illumination

    Yes, it is Olea Basalt Black & Atacama Beige and we love it. Just enough beige to be classic red & beige, but black enough (especially the seat backs) to also be classic but easier to keep clean.

    Whats your favourite dash layout ?

    May be in sync with the passenger display. Will have to check - never use it in the cluster.

    Whats your favourite dash layout ?

    Took a long time to train my wife to love maps North up. She uses the passenger display to program and follow our routes and complains because it keeps switching to heading up (the turning picture makes her ill). The center display remains North up.

    PSA: iPhone 12Pro Max - will it fit in the wireless charging cradle?

    Agree wholeheartedly! Everyone one in our family, from wife to grandchildren, completely understand the "manager's reset" - turn off (or preferably unplug) for two minutes and restart. Works amazingly well on anything with a computer brain or relay. For some devices, I go the the electrical...

    What loaners does Porsche give you?

    Our dealer goes out of their way to give us a loaner and it is usually determined by what is available. So far, every model except a 911. A Taycan 4S recently, but loved the Panamera GTS more!
