    Does such a MF exist? I know interest rates are low but I was under the impression that MF rates are usually higher than actual interest rates.
  2. Maximum charging speed

    Peaking at 166 kW on a 350 kW charger when starting at 7% SoC seems bad, am I missing something?

    What makes you think the $1550/month is horrible? You're paying down 3 years (I assume) of usage of a $100k vehicle. It's gonna be expensive, especially if putting so little down (which I would recommend, for the reasons you stated).
  4. Bloomberg News : Porsche Readies Global Taycan EV Recall to Fix Software Issue

    Hate to be a downer but honestly if someone had gotten killed from this issue, they wouldn't be around to post on the forums... :( On the plus side I didn't see anyone reporting any actual accidents due to this issue, just some close calls.
  5. SOC when letting car sit for a while

    This is from the GTK app. Honestly though for 2-3 week storage I would just leave it unplugged.
  6. SOC when letting car sit for a while

    80% is no problem, and in fact is probably what I would do. What you don't want is to leave it at 100% or a low SoC, as that is not good for the battery. Given the low drain rates of the Taycan, you should see minimal drain after 2-3 weeks.
  7. Is cruise control standard?

    ACC works in bumper to bumper traffic. However, if you end up stopped for more than 15 seconds, I believe it switches to a Hold and you have to press the accelerator to get going again. I don't know why it's implemented this way, and I find it annoying. I've already had a couple times where...
  8. New user questions about estimated range

    How was the charger in Barstow btw? That'll probably be one of my stops when going to Vegas as well.
  9. Softer brakes post update

    Honestly I wish there was no creep at all, or at least an option to toggle it like Tesla has.
  10. Washington to Houston and Back (5,000+ Miles in 7 days)

    Ah OK, didn't realize it was downloading map updates constantly while driving from area to area, that's annoying (considering the side effects). Personally I've just been using Carplay so I wouldn't even need the PCM map stuff anyway. I haven't taken a road trip yet though, so I'll have to see...
  11. Washington to Houston and Back (5,000+ Miles in 7 days)

    Excellent writeup, you obviously put a lot of effort and thoughts into it. Thank you! Regarding the map updates, would it have helped if you turned off the auto-update feature in the PCM? You mentioned ALK was "notchy". As someone who plans to use ALK + ACC on any road trip I do (Autopilot was...
  12. CarPlay & Charging Navigation

    This button is for precooling/heating the cabin via climate control :)
  13. PostPoned - date TBD - [4th Annual Taycan Social Drive] - where should we go? TBD

    Is it just me or is Route #2 only a little over an hour on Google Maps -- 36.9 miles?
  14. 2,500 miles in 6 days!!

    Do you mean the EA app told you about the down chargers? Or PlugShare?
  15. PostPoned - date TBD - [4th Annual Taycan Social Drive] - where should we go? TBD

    You don't want "maybes" to vote, am I understanding that correctly?
  16. Softer brakes post update

    It's interesting because I took delivery of a car with the latest brakes firmware and I agree there's something sort of strange feeling about it. I was an expert at coming to a smooth stop with no body movement using single pedal regen braking in the Tesla so I don't think I'm bad at slowing...
  17. NHTSA investigating Taycan power loss issue

    I have to commend the NHTSA for jumping on this quickly and actually taking some meaningful action/putting pressure on Porsche. Color me surprised considering how our government usually operates.
  18. Just got my Taycan :)

    No worries, I'm also a first time buyer (took delivery 3 weeks ago) :)
  19. Just got my Taycan :)

    It's standard, fortunately, despite the configurator implying differently! I don't have the memory package (I have the standard 8-way seats) and mine tilts down. There's also an option in the PCM to toggle the behavior.
  20. What do you think of my RWD build?

    I also recommend the sport sound. I find I turn it on for spirited drives, and turn it off when I want a chill cruising around town drive. I also like to turn it on if I'm feeling like I want the car to get noticed, and let's face it, as Porsche drivers, we want people to admire our car. As for...
