Hear. Hear. This is what we need battery efficiency for. A small, quick car with 250m range.

That should be true. But there is still surprising little break dust (compared to my boxster) on the front and rear of my rwd.

I would agree on the theory, but I don’t see any practical evidence. 4wD versions don’t seem to get better mileage than the rwd version. You would think the additional motor would allow for some demonstrable difference. But I haven’t seen it.

I don’t think you can buy a “bad” Taycan. I know there are people on here that are happy with the steel springs. I had a boxster with zero options on it. Not a one. I was really happy with it.

Thanks for posting all this detail. Makes for an excellent thread.

Ok. I get it. To some extent, I am trying to justify my buy decision. But what has really happened in the last 8 years is more car vendors have entered the fray. The technology hasn’t really changed much for EVs. We just added more vendors that engineered the technology differently. That’s...

@TDinDC, A mile back in the thread, you said the Taycan battery ev technology and the iPhone had similar depreciation trends. Th is is just not true. iPhone is based on cmos silicon technology. This is a technology that has doubled its capability for the same cost every 4 to 5 years for 6...

The only time the rwd feels tepid to me Is from 0 to 10mph. Feels like it has been electrically nerfed to limit the 0 to 60 time. After that it feels fine. It does everything I need it to do. Feels faster than my old car. I think that is all that is important. I have said it before, what I...

It’s a base stereo it looks like. Did you give it a listen?

Really happy with my rwd. I came from a boxster with similar acceleration and I did worry a little as I waited for it to arrive that it wouldn’t be fast enough. But it is plenty fast. With the flat torque curve, it just goes. I actually like the steering feel in the rwd too. The 4s I test...

No I got the rwd. Yes I had to pay adm too. But that is just timing. No free options. Are you kidding…. Just what @TXAG says. The only included option on 4S is the air suspension and the 4wD and the speed. But no snow in socal. And the rwd is faster than my last Porsche. So I am...

Spent 30K extra on my rwd. I plan to keep the car a long time and I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to treat myself. So resale isn’t a big issue to my mind. Maybe I will regret it. But I doubt it. The only option I got with a 4s for “free” was air suspension. And I didn’t like the less...

The ABRP app will give you a better idea what your consumption would be for your big driving days.

But I don’t ever need that much. I don’t drive that much in one day. Maybe occasionally.

10 hours in the states with the standard ac charger. 9.5kW I think. Europe charger is 11KW I think. So it is potentially faster. Depend what kind of circuit you have.

I can see what you mean. I will look at mine the next time I am out. And congrats on your car. It looks great.

Maybe some photos of the problem? The dash sounds by far the worst.

Use ABRP app to try out some routes you normally drive. The default setting for Taycan base looks pretty good based on my first week. When I am just getting from pt a to b over a good distance, consumption goes down to that range. Sitting in my car playing with settings makes my consumption...

Listed in the manual (my Porsche app). right side of dashboard. Fuse #2. Look at the manual.
