A 50000 dollar bill for fixing cooling tubing for a battery pack ? It sounds like Porsche is abusing the situation to have new source of income to replace oil changes on ICE cars. It can't be that expensive to repair. Even if they have to replace it with an entire new battery pack, it cannot...

Range strongly depends on the kind of roads you drive. In Belgium, where I live, you have an extreme amount of traffic lights, speed bumps and speed radars. So you are starting and stopping a lot. Average speed, including stopping, on non-high way roads is barely 30 km/h. Next to that you have...

I have a Taycan and I had a Tesla. I am very happy with my Taycan. But I would strongly recommend Tesla to new buyers. If you just look at the facts: It is just so much value for money compared to other cars, I don't understand why anybody is still buying new +40k euro ICE cars. (In Belgium at...

Next to my Taycan, I ride an electric motorcycle. The typical motorcycle enthusiast is rather negative about electric motorcycles. Seems to be a quite conservative kind of people. They say it is bad, even if the have never ever ridden an electric motorcyle. Just because it does not make noise...

The 911 is also a lot about marketing. They just need time to make a good story around it. Maybe they will put a big part of the battery pack in the back of the car and say that it gives the same driving dynamics as the 911 ice. Maybe they will use some uber-expensive materials to keep the total...

Yes, sure. When did we hear that before ?, :-) The 911 will always be naturally aspirated. No Turbo. The 911 will always be air cooled. No water cooling Porsche will never make diesels. Porsche will never make SUV's. .... Obviously the 911 will 100% surely be electric at some point in time. But...

I would recommend using Ionity and FastNed. But I would also install the Tesla app as a backup. They have so many chargers per location, that you will always find one that is available. It is a bit slower, and it is a bit less user friendly with the short cables, but it is a good backup plan.

If they fixed it, could you ask them how much it would cost to replace a broken module (not the entire battery) out of warrenty (after 8 years) ? I am curious to know. It would affect my descision to keep the car longer than 8 years.

Total battery failure in less than 1 year. That is worrying news... Did you get any more information about what is actually wrong ? I find it hard to believe that all modules are damaged at once.

If it is true that that SoH is using the wrong reference point (bruto capacity instead of netto). It might be more correct to use the 'energy capacity' reported by the ODBII-app and divide it by the netto maximum capacity. My ODBII-app reports about 91% SoH. And 67,5 kwh max capacity...

This is very interesting. This could mean that the SoH 100% reference that the Taycan is using is not the netto maximum, but the bruto maximum. This could explain why the initial degradation is so fast and why the numbers are about 5% less than Tesla. Since the initial degradation is so strong...

It is unfortunate that we did not succeed in making one global standard. Now we have the cost of adapting vehicles per region. CSS1 and CSS2 were very close. NACS/Tesla have a completely different size. Would have been better if US would have forced CCS2 (like the EU did). Or if Tesla opened...

This website says that the average soh after 1.5 years (the age of my Taycan) is 97%. My Taycan is at 91%. Does that mean that the Taycan (or my taycan) battery degradation is far worse than the average in the industry ?

Isn't the Taycan going extremely fast from 100% to 95% SoH ? From the info I read for Tesla's that takes about a year. With the Taycan it goes to ±95% in the first months. I wonder if the 100% level in this soh reading is a good reference point. Are most Taycan's really delivered with 100% ...

Got the WNW2 high voltage update today in Belgium. Does anybody know more about the content of this update ? What does it actually do ? I searched for forum for more info. Not much to be found.

The 2020 Taycan's have another battery chemistry than the later ones. I am asking my question to understand: Do we mostly see 2020 taycan with battery failure because they are older. Or because there was something wrong with the 'old' chemistry. Given the fact that they do not just replace the...

This timer/profile way of configuring charging is rather confusing. Does anybody know how I can make a timer or profile that I can enable manually to let the car start charging immediately to a given target percentage ? Without setting a target timer. Just a target percentage to be reached asap.

We read regularly on this forum that somebody has a battery failure with a 2020 Taycan, with the old chemistry. I am wondering: did anybody hear of a 2021+ car (with the new chemistry) having a battery failure ? Could it be that Porsche is doing a full replacement on 2020 cars, but only...

Normally they do not replace the entire battery. Only modules. Maybe in this case (old battery chemistry) they do replace the entire battery to avoid mixing different battery chemistries. I am really interested to know what the actual cost is of replacing modules and replacing the entire...

It has been proven several times that the grid only needs a 10% to 20% upgrade because charging happens mostly at night when there is enough grid capacity. A 20% upgrade over a period of 20 years, is no problem at all. Plus, people adapt. That is what humans do. This is not a static system...
