PS: Here is a great video showing "ideal conditions" and a great chart appears about 20 minutes into the video that shows 85-90% SOC after 30 minutes is feasible but again if you started at a low enough SOC and all other conditions were optimal. Which is a bit uncommon -- especially in...

Way too many variables there: - Did you hop in the car at ambient/cold temp, drive 5 minutes down the road, and plug in? If so, even if navigating to a DC HPC, it'd never have warmed up to optimal in that time frame. - What was your starting SOC%? You fail to mention that-- so if you plugged...

@whitex -- it sounds like we have similar backgrounds and experiences as I've owned every Tesla S3XY + my 2010 Roadster. Some were leases, others purchases. And overall I'd say you/I have a similar approach to our day to day use of our vehicles, so kudos for our alike thinking there. FWIW, I...

Understood. But my car is not a lease, it is a loan (2nd owner). So for me, the net cost of a new battery is quite a lot. Also you're talking about something else -- "normal degradation" has been clearly recorded as worse with DC fast charging than AC charging across various EVs across various...

Same here; works while driving; and I am indeed located in the USA so should work for prior responder anytime too even while driving FYI

Though I cannot speak to "charging speeds" I can tell you that the owner's manual clearly states maximum state of charge for longevity. If you want to test that out, by all means, by my guest. I'm not willing to f'k up a $150k car personally just to see if I degrades beyond my comfort level...

$158k MSRP Lease: $2060 x 39 = $80,340 + $4,700 down = $85,040 spent over 39 months, with 0 risk of resale value Purchase: Assuming same $32,500 off MSRP = $125,500 sale price Assuming 72 months at 6.99% APR (today's estimated rates) $2,217 per month at 7% sales tax with $4700 cash down =...

That sounds rather high to me. There are plenty of online lease calculators, that you can plug in the data. But more importantly I'd ask them to provide you the MF (money factor) as well as the residual value. When I plug in $158k MSRP and then reduce it by $35k down (your contribution and...

Be aware that there are other reasons and advantages to having more of the top/bottom locked out by the automaker. For example, if you have ever charged a Tesla to 100% then you'll find you accidentally almost run into people expecting the 1-pedal regeneration to work "as normal" - but it...

Assume "which one I have" you're asking if you have the thicker GT steering wheel or not? If so, then you'd want to consult your build sheet (or window sticker). If you don't have that, contacting Porsche and they should be able to provide it for you. It would list all the items and the "GT"...

There are some pros/cons in both cars case for sure. That said, I have a friend with a newer model 3 that lacks the USS (ultrasonic sensors) and if you've watched any of those YT videos about how inaccurate the parking distances are--well that just got worse. The latest update shows "heat maps"...

Apples to Oranges. But to still answer question best I can: My model 3 performance was quick and fun to drive. Notably lighter than the Porsche. But suspension tuning too harsh, bouncy, easily upset. What you get in lighter and smaller you lose in ride quality and steering feel. Software will...

Only other thing to maybe try that I -think- (dont hold me to this) I had read/seen was someone logging out of their MyPorsche account on the car and back in. That somehow re-sync some of the services. And since those online services are established in connection with your Porsche Connect...

In my '21 Taycan 4CT this occasionally happens. I've found that if you just give it time to re establish the LTE connection it should eventually come back. But basically -any- internet (data) based service needs to start up and connect. Until that happens, they don't show up in the media...

If the Porsche is showing a white ring, IIRC that means it acknowledges being plugged in. So It would only stop charging if it thinks it has hit some max requirement. I'd make sure the "Direct Charge" button is on/illuminated on the lower interior display of the car before plugging in, and see...

At one point I was offered $30k off a $160k MSRP Audi eTron RS GT -- so basically the nearly same car (I think the Turbo/S and the RS eTron GT share enough to be called an apples to apples comparison). Of that discount I do think a few grand was a Costco benefit, FYI. Based on that, I was 20%...

Great write-up that matches my prior Taycan experiences (this is my third; first CT though). I'm in Ohio on Lake Erie so we get lake effect snow etc. I'm on the edge of the snow belt, so luckily my commute takes me out of the belt into better areas but I still get to enjoy winter, if you're...

FISHEYE -- the view that is just below the default is slightly better IMO (it's the second from bottom button, tap that and things flatten out a bit, but you do lose the lines). I find that when I am needing a more precise view of parking I switch to that view, plus the ultrasonic sensors, and...

Wagons seem to be holding slightly better value than sedans but also are too new still as they didn't come out until '21 a year after the sedan did in the states anyhow. Used car prices are falling as more discounts crop up, but ~50% residual on a 3-year lease is very much the norm. If the...

It should sync every time you connect CarPlay to the car. I'd say force close the Apple Maps on your phone (while not connected to the car), then establish a car connection (CarPlay, phone to car), then launch Apple Maps. Then see if it has resolved. It requires the CarPlay connection to...
