Can you remind me how to check the battery temp?

In retrospect, given the choice, I definitely would have specced the 14-ways. Unfortunately, I bought an inventory model so I wouldn't have to wait months for my order. I got a lot of what I wanted in my own config, but the seats were definitely not one of them. That being said, I still like the...

Also @Torv regarding Plug and Charge, I've mentioned it a few times but one of the obvious symptoms seems to be that in the Charging NA app, there's nothing listed under My Vehicles. It just shows a blank page and then an error at the bottom about some backend server issue. It's been like this...

Well keep in mind Tesla upgraded the seats multiple times between your 2015 model and my 2018 model: https://insideevs.com/news/339209/watch-tesla-model-s-seats-evolve-over-time/. Also, I only have the standard 8-way seats in my Taycan, with the key lacking feature being lumbar support (for me...

That's simply the mechanism to ensure that the driver is being attentive by testing if you are applying torque to the steering wheel. If you rest your hands too lightly the car thinks your hands aren't on the wheel and it will warn you with that message.

I just completed a successful trip from LA to the Bay Area and back. It's my first trip in the Taycan. The relevant stats of the vehicle: - 2021 Taycan RWD - 20" Aero wheels - Performance Battery Plus - Range Mode set to 85mph max - ACC set to 75mph, ALK on for 95% for drive - A/C set to 70F...

Is that like blue balls? :CWL:

Dang, what a missed connection. I would have loved to chat about your PEC LA experience, since I live like 20 minutes from it. I feel like I have to do it after reading your post. We left the bay area with 100% charge and this was our first stop heading south, according to ABRP. Since I wasn't...

Were you charging at Panoche Shell in Firebaugh yesterday around 3pm? I pulled up and saw a Cherry Red 4S charging, the first I've seen in the wild. I waited around a bit to see if the owner would come back to the vehicle but they were nowhere to be found. Unfortunately I only charged for 15 min...

Like I said, it's the only one like it :) Tesla actually built a full lounge complete with a coffee bar, nice bathrooms, vending machines, and some tables/chairs for sitting. My main point being that Superchargers have a LOT more stalls than your average EA station.

Picture your typical EA station with its 4 stalls. Now picture pulling up your Taycan to this. Granted, it's the only one of its kind, but it would be really nice to have the Superchargers available for our Taycans.

Thanks, yeah I realize that optimizing your braking with recup off is the most optimal. TBH I'm not really concerned with my consumption for city driving, it's when I go on road trips and am driving long distances on freeways that it will really matter.

It's not uncommon for the dealer to need a few days to detail the car, install software updates (like AMB5), and in general get it ready for delivery. In my case I got lucky and the dealer actually turned it around in 1 day.

I usually drive with Auto recup on and it definitely does slow the car down, so I suppose that means it's on and active and I am out of the break-in period?

Are you saying you don't have the same issue? I don't look at my consumption every short drive but I believe it regularly starts out in the 400s-500s before settling down into the 300s. I also only have 700 miles so maybe my regen braking isn't fully activated yet? I remember reading about that.

My consumption is also always super high to start out trips of any length. Not sure why, I just assumed it was some bad calibration that needs some miles to average it out.

I don't have the 19.2 kW onboard charger.

I have a 21 RWD with extended battery. Here is how you enable/disable Plug & Charge:

One thing you can try next time the Charging NA app is failing you is to try initiating the session from the Porsche Connect app. I've now incorporated this step into my "routine" if the Charging NA app is failing me. For example, on my last session for whatever reason, the Charging NA app would...

Same exact thing here. I've gotten that PROXCAN error when trying to use Plug & Charge. Charging NA app shows backend server error in My Vehicles. If I turn off Plug & Charge and manually initiate from Charging NA app, I can charge.
