Yesterday my wife and I had a small project to do that was about 85 miles away so decided to experiment with two different driving styles there and back to compare range. This is certainly not a scientific study but here’s what I found. The drive is mostly flat, about 80% highway and the...
Flip a coin you'll like whichever you get :)
I have both and really like both. RAS helps make the car more maneuverable - love how it turns. SC adds the dial on the steering wheel and Sports+ and I think Individual mode. I use Sports+ mode often and really enjoy it. It tightens suspension...
I'm guessing that Porsche is doing a rolling update with some number of VINs per day or week rather than turning it on for all at once. A pure guess on my part but given the complexity of the update they may want to do the upgrades methodically a few at a time to avoid overwhelming the central...
Thanks!
I had two 350 chargers on my return trip where the charge rate was slow (one was 26kw and the other was 64kw). While I was in Durham, I also charged at a local EA station and the 350 charger delivered only ~60kw rate. In each of these cases, I stopped the charge and moved to a 150...
Mine occasionally speaks the nav directions using km instead of miles. The display still shows miles but every once in a while it it decides to speak in metric. It's just a little quirky.
Yesterday I did the return trip from Durham to Boston – 721 miles over 14 hours. The Taycan is such a great long distance driver! It was me, my wife and two trunks full of luggage. Weather was about 30F departing Durham (6am) and about 55F when arriving in Boston. I have a 4S with 20” all...
Thanks for the super helpful input. I'm driving back to Boston later this week and I'll try arriving at EA chargers with something closer to 10% SOC to hopefully get a charge rate above 150kw on the 350 plugs. The battery is generally in the 80-85F range during long drives so I'm guessing that...
@wemct - thanks!
I did not precondition. My drive to the station was about 15 min and I did it in sports+ hoping to get a little heat into the battery. The battery was 72F when I started charging. i was thinking that the low soc of 24% would give the battery time to warm up. It actually got...
I also went to the Sheetz - Hillsborough EA location today and tried the 350s. I arrived with 24% SOC and got 150kw from the 350 station. I called EA and they reset it and then I got 100kw (I was at about 55% SOC at that point). I moved to the other 350 stall there and got 64kw (argh). The...
I drove 716 miles over 14 hours from Boston to Durham NC yesterday with my wife in our first long distance drive in our Taycan. We had a clear day and really had a pretty good experience. The Taycan is an awesome long distance driver – super comfortable and fun. The Bose sounds great and we used...
FYI - I upgraded to the new Electrify America app.
1. my default credit card is shown as "card expired" with 00/00 as the expiration date. Can't re-enter the date to correct it.
2. can't add a new credit card. Just keeps reporting "please check your payment details and try again"
3. it...
I may change my vote on sound/heat insulation glass... I drive in toll areas fairly often so that's a hassle/drawback. The car is the most quiet I've ever owned with standard glass so given the toll tradeoff I'd probably just stay with standard glass.
I also do not have the dock/pedestal and...
Thanks re the seats- I think the massage function would be somewhat helpful for long drives. I guess I’d probably take the massage option over the 18 way seats.
Re the glass- the car is pretty quiet with the standard glass and it is so nice I’d probably go for more next time. I don’t use a...
This is by far the most fun car I've ever had! I thoroughly enjoy it and have almost 4,000 miles on it since October so there's not much I would change.
My favorite features:
- Rear axle steering
- Torque vectoring and PDCC Sport
- Sport Chrono knob
- ventilated and heated seats (14 way)
-...
Generally I see this when the specified time on the timer is close to being reached but there isn't enough time at the current charge rate to hit the desired target charge level.
