I just received my electric bill after my first full month of ownership of my Turbo S and did some rough math out of simple curiosity since this is my first EV. I put 129 kWh through the PMCC in October. At a blended rate of ~$0.17 per kWh for supply and delivery with my utility service...

And what happened to the flap that covers the DC portion of that charge port? Totally missing. I’m always worried mine will snap off if I pull it down too hard. Seeing his validates my concern.

At least for me, if the car is actively preheating or precooling and you start driving it turns the “pre” feature off automatically and the regular climate control comes on like normal. So the button there is only relevant if you want to enter a vehicle that is actively preheating or precooling...

I’m trying to understand the purpose of the precool/heat button in the lower center console. I fully get the benefit of precooling or preheating from the Connect App or with using a departure timer but what is the purpose of the button? I’f I’m sitting in the car while it is stationary wouldn’t...

Same issue here. The included screws would have been OK had I not needed the spacer but it wasn’t even close with the spacer (which was necessary because of the conduit). Thankfully my electrician installing the NEMA 14-50 outlet had longer lag bolts in his truck.

I have not researched this at all so this is just a personal view (and I have no interest in debating the politics of the issue), but I have always felt like the primary purpose of the Federal credit was NOT to benefit the EV consumer but instead to benefit the EV manufacturer, with the overall...

Good stuff, Dave. Thanks. That all makes sense to me but I guess my question is why did Porsche handicap tbe Taycan’s ability to DC fast charge on 400V architecture by limiting to 150kW with their upgrade option? I appreciate that Tesla is really the only provider that can deliver in excess of...

I don’t own a Tesla but I understand some of their Superchargers can put out up to 250kW. Is there any particular reason why the 400V/150kW upgraded charger option for our Taycan is limited to 150kW when there are 400V networks that deliver greater power? Just wondering.

Thanks. FYI I believe this is only for upstate and Westchester Thruway facilities. Not for NYC or NJ tolls.

Great stuff. Amazing journey. I felt like I was watching the YouTube video as I was reading along. Enjoy it. I bought my Taycan from a Porsche dealer in Indianapolis and seriously considered flying there and driving it back to NJ (which would have been a walk in the park for you) but I chickened...

I see. I guess I really was in the right place at the right time. I would have spec'd adaptive cruise control and head up display and those are the only things my Turbo S does not have but I don't really miss them at all. Most important to me was Carerra White Metallic with Black/Chalk and...

I am in Bergen County. Interested.

Just wondering what this means. I see each member has one. Is this Uber rating or Golf -- i.e., do you want higher or lower -- and how does it change?? Just curious.

Have you considered a low mileage CPO Turbo S from 2020 or 2021? I fully appreciate why you want an allocation and to build your own -- I was in the same situation as you and was patiently trying to find an allocation to build a highly spec'd 4S or moderately spec'd Turbo. I then came across...

I got 2.23% last month on 72 months through Chase Auto.

I see now that you can. Not sure if you need to be a member or if anyone can do it. I will check them out.

Understood. I guess my supposition was that you would be accelerating the 7 times regardless, so you may as well have the regen on the braking and get that cumulative effect rather than not having it.

Wow thanks, I had not heard of this place. That is only 1hr20mins from me. Can you track your own car there? I don’t see it listed on an initial glance. Wow they have a Taycan Experience. https://www.monticellomotorclub.com/porsche-taycan-experience/

I’m not a “math guy” so I have no beef with your numbers but isn’t there a cumulative effect you are missing? You are only talking about 2 seconds of braking. If you do that 7 times that is a full kWh back into the battery, right? Over time and charge cycles that adds up I would imagine and...

Agreed. Said better than me.
