    Falling out with my Taycan already…

    That 210 miles of range is just a little below normal for me in the cold of winter. Depending on what kind of cold you are dealing with in the UK, which i imagine to be much more than me in the southern US. I usually get about 220 or so when temps get around the freezing mark here. In the...

    So the Taycan isn't a sports car? 😬

    Ummm…no it doesnt handle like A big heavy sedan. I had a big heavy sedan before this car, a Hellcat. This car Handles FAR from that in all the best ways. If weight is part of the definition of a sports car, no EV ever will likely meet that requirement (for a long time anyway, until the tech can...

    Winter And Cold Temperature Weather EV Range Loss - % loss in popular models (chart)

    You can do this. Preheat the car and battery while fully charged and plugged in, before a long trip in the cold and it will save you range. Assuming you can do this on both ends, you will get some of that range back. But if you have to start cold, and depending on how cold, it can take a pretty...

    EA (Electrify America) Sucks - that is all

    In regards to the over boost issue, would enabling the option in the Taycan to limit the car to 200kw for fast charging protect the cars?

    EA (Electrify America) Sucks - that is all

    Well at least it’s Windows 10 this time. I’ve seen the older units reboot and it was XP!!!!

    Does driving a Taycan make one an official EV and/or Porsche brand ambassador?

    It goes with the car right now unfortunately. You are an ambassador for both. I tend to keep info on hand to give them so i dont waste my time having to educate every single one of them that feels the need to tell me why they think they are so smart and did about 2 seconds of looking on social...

    Spent some time w/ Lucid Air this morning… impressions

    I love the tech on the Lucid and depending on interior choices, it can be quite nice. An acquaintance in town has one of two in the area and i got to check it out. It was very nice inside for sure, but that exterior…Ugly AF. It looks like something an old grandpa would be driving back in the...

    One of my 2 cupholders lights stopped working.

    Mine goes back and forth. Took it to the dealer and they couldn’t find anything wrong bc of course it worked for them. It‘ll do it randomly, fully charged or not.

    Trip Report: my first relative long distance trip - about 350 miles

    Yeah, it is about useless. Try PlugShare to pre-plan your routes. Takes a little more work up front, but you’ll have better trips.

    Trip Report: my first relative long distance trip - about 350 miles

    Oh and I did mean to point out too, speed kills in EVs as well as temperature On long trips. Once you go over 70, it takes much more energy to go at those speeds (in any type of car) and you are going to lose range very quickly. I usually do 75-80 (occasional jumps into 90 as needed) and I keep...

    Trip Report: my first relative long distance trip - about 350 miles

    I’m sorry to hear that you had a bad trip there. EA and the car’s Nav failed you on this and I’d be angry too. I’ve gone on several road trips, more than twice as long and I haven’t had those issues. I dont use the built in Nav bc I’ve heard several say it sucks, so i use PlugShare to route me...

    Titans TV show on HBO Max

    In season 4 episode 1, our Taycan has made an appearance and the inner kid/geek in me is excited to see the car on the show. Bruce Wayne gives it to Nitewing…maybe it’ll be used as a new eco-friendly Batmobile?!?!?

    Actual ownership cost to own a Taycan

    Closing in on 2 years ownership and still on my first set of tires with 30k miles on them (Pilot Sport 4) and very close to replacing them. Charge mostly at home about 2 or 3 times a week at .10 per kwh rate where I live. Did the 20k mile maintenance is the only fee I’ve had to pay and that...

    To Each his own. I would not question you moving on, nor anyone wanting to pursue recompense.

    Need a Class Action Lawsuit - Porsche Mobile Charger

    See, I hate that kind of thinking, where just bc you paid a lot of money for something, that you have no right to complain or seek recompense when some part of it doesnt work. If I buy a new $500,000 home and the $10,000 AC unit doesnt work or only works half as good as it should, I’ve got no...

    Why I Dumped Carplay

    Had been hoping for a fix, but considering this route for some time. Went ahead and did it today and I’m fairly happier with it disabled for my daily driving. Several functions that i need the phone to do work just fine over Bluetooth and the UI in the car. I’ll plug the phone in for CarPlay on...

    First time at 350KW Electrify America-What do I set the car at?

    ACTUALLY, there is a setting in the car that will limit your charge speed at DC fast chargers to about 200kw to preserve the longer life of the battery. If you want to see those top speeds, you will have to disable that setting. I dont know it off the top of my head, but that info is in the...

    [North America] - this is getting embarrassing - Porsche nerfing/neutering the PMCC via OTA update?

    Yeah. They just stopped communicating with me. I know where I won't be spending future money.

    [North America] - this is getting embarrassing - Porsche nerfing/neutering the PMCC via OTA update?

    Thats what i used to run mine at with no problem. I did have the overheating issue at 40 amps and after researching, i reduced the power to 32 and it was all fine. I just bought another charger and back up to 40 amps and i had forgotten how much it does make a bit of difference in the charge time.
