Not sure what propaganda I'm espousing nor sure how you are taking it. Anti EV saying the range is too short, or that my contention that it exceeds your bladder capacity is wrong? There is no question which side you are on concerning the CCS1 charging system. It can be complete crap and I'm...

Oh I pretty much agree with you, with the one difference being that CCS1 charging in the US is seemingly a step or two behind that in the UK/EU. Would be in complete agreement if I was still driving a Tesla (they really are easy to live with). You and I have put in the home level 2 charger and...

Oh I was referring to my copilot. My bladder capacity knows no bounds.

"range anxiety" represents a larger concern for people shopping for a future purchase than it does for people with actual EV ownership experience. If the question is limited to "range anxiety" then selection bias is real. Almost everyone owning an EV forgets range anxiety very quickly. A "full...

Most people look upon a vehicle as an appliance. I realize this is a heretical idea to Porsche owners but with many years of keeping my customers' cars on the road I've learned that most just don't care a whole lot about their cars. They expect it to fulfill a purpose without any extra work...

Can't speak for too many Taycan owners, but possibly true of a decent percentage. After a while the car just isn't providing that "this is new and exciting" feeling, and a Taycan is not some unique collectible. In my case nothing magic about 3 years except my attention span and a desire to try...

At around the 3 year mark it will be time to start the search for a replacement for my 2023. My, strictly personal, replacement time pretty much corresponds to the expiration of the basic warranty. I've had no issues with my car that would preclude another Porsche but technology on the EV side...

Concentrate on getting yourself better. The car is just a little added incentive. A seriously great driving car and plenty quiet.

I also have a '23 GTS with the insulated glass option, so apples to apples (except maybe the tires. 20" with summer Pirelli). The car is very quiet overall. My, subjective, impression is that the Taycan is as quiet as the brother-in-law's MB S550 and slightly quieter than my now departed Tesla...

The TeslaTap Mini is a must have for me. For road trips the Tesla destination chargers are almost always working, the various J-1772 offerings not so much. I previously had a Tesla and had installed the Tesla EVSE. I use the TeslaTap every time I charge the Taycan at home. Works perfectly. I use...

You can't really judge the efficiency after only 200 miles. There is some mechanical break in that will increase your efficiency (probably pretty minor). You almost certainly do not have any brake regeneration yet which will also improve your efficiency. The guess-o-meter uses a look-back...

Has to be an AI generated response. Just does not come across as being biological in origin. It's just clickbait for thechbatterysolutions.

Hadn't noticed that. I will certainly be paying attention next time. Even their own car can't get it right but now I have to wonder which way is right.

Almost all of the United States says Porsch. It's not until you drink the coolade and are indoctrinated into the cult that pronouncing the marque as Porsch-a becomes mandatory.

I'll send off all the before and after readings once I've done another discharge/recharge cycle. I haven't put much mileage at all on lately so running it down below 10% is taking a while. As far as Vim's voltage readings (new modules/cells aside) I have noticed that my voltage differences cell...

@ciaranob I'm not sure of the point in time that you want the mileage reading. The last time I gave you battery statistics (9-28-23) was immediately after the road trip at 7736 miles. Mileage when I observed and posted (10-28-23) about the drop in SoH 4 weeks after the road trip was probably...

PCNA absolutely should have some in stock on a regional basis. Right now we are out our cars if they fail the test, the dealer is most likely out a loaner vehicle (for a month+ ?), and the dealer has to manage a customer who wants his car back. I agree with you that Porsche should be able to...

Driving is why the Taycan replaced my Model S Performance. I do fairly regular road trips. With the Tesla the basic autopilot was engaged for a good portion of any restricted access highways. With the Porsche I only use Innodrive to play with the infotainment or open a bottle of water. With a...

My first reaction was that this was a dopey comparison. However after looking at the comparison "test" article that gave rise to the one quoted above (https://www.roadandtrack.com/reviews/a45614830/2024-performance-electric-car-of-the-year/), it's fair to make the comparison. R&T compared 6...

Impossible to pick a single number. Drive an ICE in cold weather and stop and go traffic and the mileage will be horrendous. Minimal stop and go, 45-50 mph in warm weather and probably double the first situation. Taycan/EV is no different. Now throw in the fact that we have a shrinking "gas...
