Indeed. If you have broken cells in a module, you open the module and replace the broken cells by similar lithium-ion cells. As long as there is nothing that registers that you opened the module, it should work. I regularly read horror stories of prices of battery replacements of 50000 to...

I know the Tesla model S prices. It should be similar for the Taycan. A battery failure does not mean that the whole battery is broken. So they do not replace the entire battery. They replace modules. A module costs about 5000 euro for a model S. I assume it will be similar in the Taycan. It...

Don't get carried away with the option list. Nothing is really a must have. Most of it are Porsche marketing tricks to let you pay much more for a little bit less. And the 'it is good for resale value' argument is totally not applicable to the vast majority of options. Options typically do not...

In that case I would not do it. It will not add much value. I did it because I did not want to loose luggage space to the Bose system.

Caliber BC108US. Because the seat can not go to the full lower position anymore. Which is not a problem for the passenger's seat. But I wanted to keep all the freedom of movement with the driver's seat.

Both the audi and Taycan are nice. But the audi in grey is just plain boring. Take the audi in red and it looks completely different. I like your Taycan color choice !

I like my RWD, standard suspension and standard battery. It is fast enough to drift. :-) I had faster cars with air suspension but to me the power of the Taycan RWD is fast enough and the adaptive suspension without the ability to change the height of the car is also fine for me. A typical range...

Side info: For those who try to make the python library work on macOS: If you get an error about VIN number not defined, there is a problem with the ssl certificates on your local system. You have to run this to fix it: "/Applications/Python 3.7/Install\ Certificates.command" to update your...

I did some research about this. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong. But to me it looks like this: 1) In most EV's (and I think also in the Taycan) the heat pump does not take heat from the outside air. It takes heat from the internal system: from the invertor, the motor, the battery. That...

I wrote 73kwh. But it was +3kwh. So the total increased from 71kwh to 74kwh. I checked this now using an odbII dongle. I read the SoH percentage and the current energy capacity. With these to number I can calculate the reference value of what the battery should have been at 100% SoH. In my...

RWD Taycan. Location: Belgium 1) unknown 2) 95,38% 3) 8200km 4) 0 kwh (did not do any DC fast charging yet) 5) january 2022 Thanks for collecting this data. Very interesting.

The Vgate iCar Pro BLE 4.0 works for me with car scanner (using bluetooth), but not with ABRP (using BLE) So it must be a BLE or ABRP specific problem. Does anybody know if ABRP can work with regular bluetooth ? Or any other solution to make this vget icar pro dongle work with ABRP ?

I think educating people about the technical reasons behind it (maximum charging speeds and maximum battery level) is useless. Now that we are past the early adopter phase, people that are totally not technically minded, are also driving EV's. Most people are too stupid and ignorant to learn...

Is it possible to control Android Auto apps by voice commands (like Waze) too ?

Just press with two fingers for 3 seconds in the upper right corner to reset the PCM. This trick also works when the screen is blank.

About $10000 of the options in the list are in the category: "We will make the plastic in a slightly different shape and/or paint it in another color". This must be options with +90% profit margins for Porsche.

Just calculate with Ohm's law: U=R.I (Voltage is resistance times current) and P=U.I (Power is voltage times current) and the resistance of a copper cable per meter Charging is more efficient at lower current because of less power loss in the cables and the charger because P=R*I^2. I think...

I did the same as Jasper in the audio cabling topic. Based on the info provided by tigerbalm: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/audio-cabling.10907/post-158252 You can get access to the cabling by removing the plastic covers on the middle side of the driver foot area. Then you can feel...

It is an active subwoofer. Powered via 12V connection to the fuse box in the passenger foot area.

I forgot the exact type. But it is 7cm high. And about 20cmx30cm long. I assume all these solutions are very similar. It is called an "under seat active sub woofer". You just have to make sure it has a high power input (to take the signal from the other speakers. Else you have to find an audio...
