    🔋 Baseline for HV Battery SoH Performance (Battery Degradation Data by Taycan Owners)

    Please don't think I am arguing with any of your conclusions. Just lending another voice to what you have been posting on this very long thread. Appreciate you collecting the data and just wanted to add another deep cycle experience that improved the SoH reading.

    🔋 Baseline for HV Battery SoH Performance (Battery Degradation Data by Taycan Owners)

    @ciaranob. Some data to report. Drove from NJ to Florida and reported the car's numbers to this post. SoH was 92.33% at 7736 miles (you have posted this reading). The car sat for a couple of weeks with little driving and the SoH dropped to 90.93% at 7898 miles. This drop in SoH several weeks...

    What about a Taycan Spyder ?

    That's the refresh they should do.

    Mobile Charger Suggestions

    If you are keeping it in the car for travel then get the Tesla Mobile Connector. Compact and reasonably priced ($230). You will need a NACS to j-1772 adapter, but you should have one regardless for using Tesla destination chargers on the road.

    Caution - Inspection BS - Dealership BS - Austin TX

    It is both standard to recommend an alignment and a way to generate additional profit. I owned a shop for years and an alignment was always recommended when new tires were put on. Why? Because if the new set of tires wore quickly the customer would be sure it was defective tires, not the...

    Taycan 2 Year Service

    I hope you read the forum fine print that states anyone who gets another member a savings is entitled to half the savings. ;) I suspect that the customers of most high end dealerships don't often question the pricing for various services and so they charge what they can get away with. Porsche...

    Taycan 2 Year Service

    The 2 year service was included when I purchased my car from the Ocala dealership at $770. That was two years ahead of when the service would be done so $700, or less, discounted to current dollars. If the work required is actually done this service is about 2.5 hours of labor (I owned a repair...

    Taycan climate app reliability feedback & 2025 facelift

    Thank you for the info. Xfinity is getting a call to see if they can provide a similar device.

    Taycan climate app reliability feedback & 2025 facelift

    LTE/cell signal is the problem and won't be cured by a WiFi extender. I'm not sure what kind of extender would get you a LTE signal if you couldn't already get a signal. If it was in fact an extender/ amplifier for LTE I'd love to know the details. Forget the car, I can't even make a phone call...

    Taycan climate app reliability feedback & 2025 facelift

    My experience with the app only goes back one year. Not much has changed feature wise except a little more functionality with Apple Car Play. Porsche will not let the car connect to your house WiFi. If your cell signal in the garage is intermittent or non-existent (mine is) you will never...

    Fully loaded GTS

    Porsche does suck on occasion. Standard feature on a GTS in the U.S. Why it would be standard on a GTS in one market and not another must make sense to someone at Porsche but that seems a little strange. At this price level it really should be a standard item.

    My Taycan no longer a virgin

    What @SergeyIndy said. Paintless dent removal looks like it would work and be invisible. Do not let the car start the slide into "what's one more ding?" land. Horrible, horrible trend to let get started. Almost impossible to recover from.

    Feedback on Pricing Offer

    Complicated decision. The Turbo S offers very little more than the Turbo unless you are in launch mode. Personally I would not spend $200,000 and get anything other than exactly what I want. If you are willing to compromise on the exact specs I would side with the CPO camp. Your $196k discounted...

    177 KM Range

    At an 80% charge level your min-max difference in cell voltage should be in the range of 4 to 8 millivolts. Your difference of 310 mv is almost certainly an indication that a cell/module is going bad. Given the weather where you are and some reports of the range deteriorating very rapidly when a...

    177 KM Range

    Unfortunately the dealer is going to say there is nothing wrong right up until your get the red dash warning and your car dies. You need to arm yourself with some information. Invest in an OBD dongle and Car Scanner. You will see the battery State of Health (SoH). The displayed SoH may differ...

    Taycan TV Commercial on Sunday Night Football

    I'll admit to being surprised to see this advertisement. Low demand? Some need to sell EVs to offset ICE EPA mileage penalties? I really doubt their potential purchasers need an ad to be aware of the car. Glad to see it as it was well produced visually, but confused as to who thought it was...

    First long-haul trip in my 2022 Taycan GTS

    Yes, I input the destination for each leg of my trip in at the start of the day. GOM on the dash did not change from before to after the route was calculated. The PCM (dash display) either didn't adjust for the conditions ahead or thought those conditions were similar to recent past driving. On...

    First long-haul trip in my 2022 Taycan GTS

    Just get a Bluetooth OBD dongle and the Car Scanner app. Reads the SoH that the car reports. Some discussion on how accurate this reading is but probably within 2%+/- versus the results from the two day test the dealer can perform. Long thread on battery SoH and how it degrades -...

    First long-haul trip in my 2022 Taycan GTS

    TLDR: Your real world range will vary a lot. My data might help, might not. '23 GTS, on 20" wheels with Pirelli summer tires, most driving above 60F (18C). Just short of 9,000 miles with 75% accumulated on trips of more than 100 miles. My battery has degraded to 92.5% State of Health (80kWh...

    Why US drivers may be thinking about EVs all wrong.... BBC article....

    So my takeaway is that you bought the wrong car for New England. I completely understand that you wanted one of the best driving cars on the road. Who wouldn't? But the CCS1 infrastructure apparently sucks in New England. Doubly so for someone who wants to travel in the cold to places that do...
