I made the jump nearly a year ago – and have enjoyed it.

Here I talk a bit about what a long range road-trip to the arctic was like compared to doing similar in our Taycan...
These are my budgets for my old Taycan Turbo S and my current 911 Targa 4 GTS. They are all my estimated and planned costs but do not include fuel. But it does help give a sense of the cost of ownership between both vehicle types.

It is for sure good to see them owning more of the supply chain. It does look like it is battery assembly and not manufacturing of the cells themselves.
It is further evidence – despite the online speculation – that Porsche is serious about BEV – even if they admit that its adoption curve will...
As the original author of that project – which I wrote to scratch my own itch. It was all based on reverse engineering the web-based https://my.porsche.com site. That site used to mirror the mobile apps, but has since been retired with only the mobile apps being supported.
Around the same time...
I'd love to know how that is implemented. Is it a message that CarPlay can put on the local canbus or is it down via an internet API calls the works its way back to the car?
I recently completed my first arctic trip to Norway/Sweden in an ICE vehicle and it cost a total of €837. That was me picking the "most expensive" fuel option at every stop and this was a week or two before the Iran war and the spike in prices.
Looking back at our typical arctic trip in our...
I don't think Porsche's strategy update is such a bad thing and certainly it's not too surprising given the realities of where they find themselves.
I also don't think that too much is changing – Porsche are not pulling back from EVs. They are adjusting to a longer adoption timeframe than they...
Well the 911 factory has been all tooled up to make it for the past 18 months. They even moved the limited production of petrol 718s off to a common VW factory to facilitate it.
Seeing as they can hardly make enough 911s for demand at the moment, I wonder if they'd consider producing it in the...
It was for the "Carrera Panamericana" a long distance race in Mexico. I think Porsche wanted to suggest that their 4-door saloon was a "long distance racer/cruiser", hence the name.
I find that measurement so much more confusing than the usual metric measure of kWh/100km. By fixing the distance to 100km I think it is much easier to understand how much energy you are using.
18.5 kWh/100km vs 3.4 miles/kWh
