The cabinet for the PMCC is a waste of money. It looks nice, but the circuit easily overheats so you have to leave the door open.

Then let's add the rest of the quote from GGC When energy gains from regenerative braking are included, the amount of energy used for traveling down the road can rise to more than 80% in the EPA-combined city and highway driving cycle, according to the US Department of Energy (DOE). By...

This from a discussion at Physics Forums Every battery has an internal resistance. You can think of an actual battery as a perfect battery in series with a resistor. As you charge the resistance converts some of your charging energy to heat. (note that watts = power = energy/time = Joules/sec)...

Couple of points. First your assumption of a flat linear charging curve in the interval you indicated looks ok. AC DC inversion is very efficient at around 95% but there other energy losses that raise this number. A quick search will indicate a higher range. Here is one from Car and Driver...

Interesting analysis. Took a look at your analysis to see what is most critical to your conclusion. Any physicists or EE's could chime in. Starting and ending SOC are the boundaries. The Raw Reported EVSE kWh is the critical number. Honestly have never paid attention to what data the PMCC...

So this is an electric car and all of its functions are controlled by software. The opposite of simple. So does Porsche do a competent job handling this?

As discussed in some current threads, the range delivered by the battery declines with time. How would you feel about the regular battery if it delivered 10% to 20% less range in 4 years. How would a potential buyer regard this? How about if your battery was fine, but there were reports of...

My rant. I have had it. Love the car, but I won't buy another Taycan until Porsche gets the software (all of it) fixed. And I won't recommend the car to anyone else either. Spoke to a young lady looking at trading her Maserati for a Taycan. Sorry, not a good idea. Lot's of alternatives out...

Hardware problems with the battery sound like it would be just a warranty fix. Actual reduced battery capacity would be problematic. Given all the software gremlins with the car could be that too. Dealer diagnostics is the path forward.

This is from the Canadian warranty book on excessive loss of capacity. I think the US is the same. A net capacity battery test is performed at an authorized Porsche service center. The battery is warranted for 100% of net battery capacity at the time of the initial vehicle's handover of...

You can find a lot of material in the Porsche Engineering Magazine. Here https://www.porscheengineering.com/peg/en/about/magazine/

A dealer can measure the net energy capacity of the battery. They will do this to determine the battery status for warranty purposes. You can't do this yourself. You can get an estimate of the amount of energy you are putting into the battery using a home energy monitor. It needs to be...

Take a read through your warranty booklet before going and ask for the net battery capacity as measured by the dealer.

Yes. There is an ongoing problem as to how the software controls sub components. It fails from to time to time on a seemingly random basis. As to the cause. Software failing to load properly? Sensors? Controllers? Etc. Does anyone know what operating system(s) is used on the Taycan?

Fascinating. Never heard about this. So if someone were to buy a Plaid with FSD and drive it like they advertise, FSD wouldn't be turned on. Have to watch when MSM starts reporting on this. Heard it here first.

I think you are misstating your case. My recollection is that we had this conversation before and I think I pointed out we saved you guys from those guys but you took umbrage to that.

Thank you. I didn't know about Godwin's law. Now I have to reread this whole thread to see who first raised the subject of Nazis.

You'll be back. This thread is like driving by a traffic accident. You just have to look.

The continual use of the fanboy term is an ad hominem attack on the character of those who disagree with you rather than dealing with the facts. The phrase Gobbels propraganda is similar but more extreme.

I was referring to you. Tesla has demonstrated that it is a valuable property (measured by market cap), because as the sales graph shows, it generates rising sales for its electric cars. Market cap is a result of all the inputs that go into the value of a company. But your argument will...
