We drove from Lake Como to Austria today. In stead of going by the highway I decided to take the Stelvio. I was fortunate today because the road was relatively calm for a Saturday. Also nice experience taking the Taghetto from Menaggio to Varenna. Lots of attention for the Taycan.
Great car for...
Preparing for holidays and put on my roofrack and box for the first time.
Installing the wingbars isn’t difficult but it takes a bit of time. To be sure they are in correct position I put them at the level of the little holes and measured the distance from the front end of the rails to be sure...
Yesterday I was driving back to our hotel in Deauville. In Le Havre the situation with exits is complex befor going on the bridges (port and pond de Normandy for example)
I went wrong 2 times and felt really stupid. Second time I had to stay the high way for 8 km for the next exit to turn...
I am planning a trip and was looking for chargers in the My Porsche app.
It shows some useful info other apps like ABPR don't show
I didn't see the occupation graph in other apps. It doesn't show an absolute value but it shows when it could be busy when comparing different chargers and...

This is a really interesting for long distance driving potential . I have added the most interesting graphs at the end.

The wheel arches of my Dolomite CT4 were painted by my dealer before delivery.
They ordered the smooth Turbo S arches and painted them Dolomite. The body shop didn’t want to sand the original ones because they had a negative experience. When not done correctly the paint could come off.
Got...
FOD wasn’t available for MY 2022 but it is now. I was able to purchase ALK and PID. First 3 months free trial.
ALK was installed and functional when I entered my car 5 minutes later. No sign of Innodrive yet. The confirmation mail says different purchases won’t necessarily appear the same...
Yesterday, when I parked my car in my garage while it was in lifted position. Plugged it in to my Wallbox to charge and the light became solid green indicating it was fully charged. Battery was at 77% but it wouldn’t charge. No possibility to select direct charge on the display. The Wallbox sent...
My Taycan 4 CT has arrived at the dealer.
Ordered half december, promised delivery second half of February, delayed to 8/3 and finally arrived last week. Still consider myself really lucky with the time of delivery.
Past car was an X5 45e for 2 years, good car but I wanted something else...
It would really interest me to see some (European) reports of owners taking their Taycan on a long winter trip to go skiing.
I saw a lot of summer trip reports, that is really good info but I was wondering about the specific challenges during winter.
Any reports on the range loss when using...
I am ordering a CT 4. I want a light color and Dolomite is my favorite. However I am not 100% convinced about the matte black wheel arches on a light car, and my wife doesn’t like them.
My dealer can order the gloss black ones and paint them.
Tried to do some photo shopping, I think the...
Still in doubt what to chose. I chose the 20 inch Taycan Turbo S design wheels. Gloss black window trim, pano roof and black roof rails.
Gloss black would match better with the wheels and window trim. On the configurator the Vesuvius looks quite dark which would be good too.
I saw some...
I was looking at some pictures to choose the wheels. I found that from some angles the Taycan Turbo S wheels can look flat and from other angels much better.
Turns out that the CT has the 20 inch Taycan Turbo S Design wheels and the sedan has 20 inch Taycan Turbo S wheels. They have the similar...
To my understanding the following options will have an optimal potential range:
Heat pump (only difference in cold temp)
Tinted rear windows
Acoustic / thermal isolation glas
According to the sales guy the panoramic roof is so well isolated the it heats up the car less than a dark metal roof...
I will be able to charge 11 kWh at home and my daily commute and weekend use are generally way below the estimated range of a CT 4. And if I happend to get the SoC really low I can charge over night. And there is a Iononity charger at 20 km from home.
I do some longer weekend trips with...
Hi everybody. One of my first posts here. Very nice forum with lots of useful information.
I have a X5 45e and looking to switch to a Taycan CT 4. I do most trips on electric now with 65 km range on a full charge. So in daily use the Taycan will be perfect. First test drive next week.
Only...
