Yes one per year is my average as well. The car is going in tomorrow for 6 year service and check for 12 volt battery, plus all the navigation updates. Service guys informed that there also was a flag in their system to change my heater! Winter preparations for Taycan seem to be: 1. Filled...

Even without preheating but the car overnight in a hotel garage with AC charging, my heater coped very well in minus 20C outside in Norway. Driving the first 100 km in minus 20C and later in a horrible snowstorm, we had no problems at all. The car kept the temperature nice and even. No issues...

Yes navigating to a charging station within say 30 minutes or less drive, will start preconditioning. If the charging stop is too far away it will not do anything. If you use car scanner while driving, you will be able to see when preconditioning of the battery starts.

Would like to hear more about you experience of this after some time. From what I have seen the voltage curve for a LiFePO battery is very flat. Thus it will be difficult to determine the SoC from voltage alone. Some good monitoring devices (probably more expensive) will instead monitor the...

BMW seems to buck this trend though. Their BEV sales increased more than the ICE sales. And Hybrids also did well. Their electrified sales is nearly a quarter of all Sales in numbers! So there obviously is a demand for great EV’s

When I bought my 996 C4 in 1999, Porsche were quite price competitive. And the quality has been excellent. After 100k km I needed to change my clutch, and that also addressed the famous IMS danger and RMS issue. Apart from this, there has been one fuel pump giving up its ghost and of course...

Yes I tried to look at what was available out there. I took a different approach this time and considered the car as something that would take me from A to B in comfort and safety. Irrespective of Brand. The badge on the front and back was totally ignored. There was a risk of course to look...

I briefly looked through this set of slides. Very internally focussed presentation on my mind. I could not find a single page that would address Porsche Customer Satisfaction. No activity to respond to feedback from customers. Mostly trying to be exclusive, but that Is not what Porsche stands...

That article is behind a paywall for me.

Yes the Taycan deliveries have really gone south! Did they not build out the capacity for production to over 100k cars per year? That must mean Taycan is a loss leader for Porsche. They really got carried away with their set target of 20% return target.

I think you will be surprised when you see the Zeekr 7GT in real life. We got a Zeekr 7X for family use at our other home in the summer. We used it quite a lot and coverd about 5000 km in 10 days before we left. The 7X is the SUV version, while the 7GT is a ”shooting brake” version. We wanted...

Would you know the Porsche service reference for this update? I am having my car in for service in a weeks time and want to be sure they perform this, if available here. Thanks

Sorry, it was late after a long trouble some day. I wasn’t planning to use a charger for this, only the boost function of either the lithium charger or a separate booster, to activate the relay. I could use the same principle if a lithium booster has a cable that could be in place permanently...

I have for some time been thinking of installing one of these CTEK cables on the 12 volt battery. And then hide the plug somewhere accessible without requiring to open the bonnet. However I have earlier not done so, since Porsche could void the warranty due non approved accessories ?? After the...

I did follow the advice and charged the main battery to 55% before leaving on a planned trip for 3 weeks. I did not have the car plugged in with AC via the Porsche Mobile Charger Connect, due to expected severe thunderstorms. Change of events resulted in the trip lasting 8 weeks instead. Since...

Yes I guess it is the system that controls the 12 volt charging. But surely Porsche should have necked that several times since they already had to replace one battery. But at the same time it would not surprise me if there would be a bad cell in the 12 volt battery. Porsche accountants...

The average temperature during the 8 weeks was around 10 C, which as forfarande is not that cold. Only the last couple of nights have been colder but day time temperature about 14 C! If a car can not manage that it is not fit for purpose in my view.

Understood, and I tried it both ways. The emergency key has a quite small head and I could just not turn it any further with my by then frozen fingers. As stated here it seems it is quite hard to turn the last bit. I could not do it then and did not want to use any extra tools for fear of...

Willbe interesting to hear if that works with a Lithium 12 volt battery?

Well if you have had no issues with leaving the car there clearly is something wrong. I have repeatedly asked the service guys if all updates have been implemented and that has been confirmed. Will ask again though. This Taycan has been in for so many faults, recalls and issues that it has...
