they are the best brakes money can buy…100%

TLDR; the ChatGPT summary - ROFL Summary of the Argument Against PCCB Brakes on the Porsche Taycan: Porsche’s Cast Iron Brakes Are Outstanding Porsche’s standard cast iron brakes are extremely well-engineered with excellent thermal management and fade resistance, especially given their brake...

I've driven the base Macan as a loaner -it's a terrible car… you get a better product for similar money in an audi…

from a HP and performance perspective the Macan EV is better value than the ICE macan in my opinion - there are cheaper entry point ICE macan but i doubt anyone on the Taycan forum would say they are “good cars” - crappy engines, terrible throttle lag, expensive to maintain, mediocre gas milage...

and the next step down in trim levels for the ICE Macan is really quite a bit less car/performance

Macan 4S EV - 0-60 in 3.9 seconds - $84,900 - before options Macan GTS ICE - 0-60 in 4.3 seconds - fastest trim you can purchase today - $91,000 - before options there are cheaper trims - but they are lesser cars - so you might as well compare Porsche to any other brand/car you choose - yes...

Porsche pursuing efuels is like Blockbuster video pursuing "faster rewind of the tapes" as a business plan to stave off streaming… even if they are carbon neutral (a claim I don't fully believe) - they still burn like normal fuels which have all sorts of nasty pollution/non-greenhouse gas...

a better route planner ABRP (web or app) and plugshare.com (web or app) plan your trip with ABRP - and check the charging stops w/plugshare (plug share is like. yelp for charging stations, they have recent check ins and reliability ratings). https://abetterrouteplanner.com/...

welcome - the key to EV ownership happiness is a good home EV charging setup - that way you only need to use public charging when you're on a road trip… welcome to EV's - few want to go back after living with them. check out the charging forums for many many threads on getting your home setup...

it will last longer if you don't push it to it's full abilities - charging at less than 22 kW should greatly extend it's useful life…that's based on tear-down and failure analysis 22 kW is overkill for most daily driving tasks and you should be able to easily run at 1/2 capacity and charge the...

maybe but not assured

the best use case for an EV is at home charging and not relying on public charging - residential chargers are far easier to deal with on a daily basis. The fast chargers should only be used when road tripping and therefore infrequent. Daily use can easily be handled overnight by an at home...

I'm sure there is variation in cord 'gauge' (weight/density) - but the fact is we're dealing with 400/800V @ 400-800 amps - this sort of power simply requires thick gauge wire to carry that much electrical current…also some of the cables are also water cooled to keep them from melting during 350...

yes all Vendors have to have agreements with Tesla to use their non-Magicdock superchargers - and VW/Audi/Porsche have not yet completed their agreement w/Tesla…the exact date is TBD and only known to Tesla/VW/Audi/Porsche…access to the non-MagicDock chargers requires "authorization" from Tesla...

I find hybrid's funny - most people get a hybrid because of range anxiety - and then during their ownership period spend most of their time "gaming" the hybrid system to avoid using the ICE motor - and/or always want just 5 more miles range so they could've "made the trip on pure EV" - which is...

and here is the current tank of gas … we're no where near empty so I would estimate "july" sometime I'll be filling it up @ costco during a grocery run…

here is the Porsche app trip data for my "best" tank of gas…1600 miles between fill ups…

going to suggest this is off topic for the thread - but it'a great topic - my answer is linked below - let's continue sharing over in the new thread… https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/hybrid-experience.27171/ we should continue sharing/chatting over in the new thread. @Administrator...

Tesla superchargers have cables that are "free" to plug in before starting a session - Tesla has no RFID or Point-of-Sale mechanism's on V1-V3 superchargers because Tesla vehicles have _ALWAYS_ been plug&charge - it was in fact pretty much the only way to start a charging session… along with...
