If you want to charge fast, don't let it go over 90F. Chuck J

But the key is that it charges faster at the higher percentages so now, instead of stopping at 80-85% you can go to 90-95%. That, when included with the slightly longer range means less charging stop time. The other key is to not let the battery temp get above 88-90 before charging which it will...

Was that option available before the uPdate, I never looked for it? When I tried charging before at 90% it was down to 50KW area or less. Chuck J

I forgot to mention that after the uPdate I changed the setting to "save the battery" so that may be it. The most important factor I have cound is that the battery temperature should be 90 degrees when starting. If you use your route planner, it will use energy to heat the battery to too high a...

Now that's some data! I'm really thinking the charging speed increase above 50% is the largest benefit. That, combined with the extra 10 miles will make road trips better. Unfortunately for me, my typical road trip has extremely limited and unreliable charging stations so I have to use my ICE...

I had my first opportunity to DC charge my 4S after the uPdate and was pleasantly surprised. I plugged in at a battery temperature of 93 degrees and 35%. The charger ramped to 110KW and stayed there until over 85% I don't like to fast charge past 90%, but it was still charging at 95KW when I...

Mine is similar to yours and that I am getting about 4% better range after the update. Chuck J

I was just addressing the percentage improvements, not the total. Chuck J

I think I may have found why so many people are reporting different mileage results after the uPdate. This article shows a chart (hopefully from Porsche) showing what they expect for different variants and years. Before the Update at highway speeds I got about 278 miles. I have not done a...

That's true, but what I was thinking was that could save some pending battery warranty charges by just opening up a little buffer. :) Chuck J

Wouldn't that be interesting that the software could open up a little more battery (for various reasons) Chuck J

Have you looked at you center display to see if the new strategy has been invoked properly. Mine shows four wheel when I first start up in the morning for a couple miles. After that it shows rear wheel drive when cruising (especially with cruise control) even up slight upgrades. Rear wheel also...

Been at the drag strip? Chuck J

I went back to the dealership that I bought the car at and they had 50Kw charger, which took me 45 minutes to charge at before I could leave for home. No other chargers in the area. And the car was in for the first big recall and they didn't charge it while it was there. Needless to say I...

Very cool Chuck J

I had the same observation. Also, I just want to know if range or DC charging has been improved. Also, does the 22 KW charger require 400V or 250V? Chuck J

Did you just reboot the PCM by restarting the car or is there a way while the car is operating? Chuck J

I'm scheduled to pick mine up Friday. Chuck J

Hope it holds through your trip Chuck J

Hope it works out let us know how the mileage goes. Sort of sounds like a hardware problem to me ( or a loose connector) not a software problem. Chuck J
