    Grateful for the town's support of EVs

    The other day, I was looking for a parking spot at the local shopping center and saw to my delight a double row of EV-only parking spots, even without any charger near those spots. Turns out that my town (Princeton, NJ) is reserving dedicated EV parking spots in parking lots, parking garages...

    First Word

    Under considerable social pressure from @feye and @NC_Taycan , I launch(-controll)ed my car for the first time today after seven months of ownership. @NC_Taycan challenged me to report the first word I would utter while experiencing such a launch. In his case, it was "holy" followed by a...

    General Profile at 80% or 85%?

    When I got my MY2020 Taycan delivered in October, the Porsche-recommended SoC to charge the battery to on normal days (i.e. no long roadtrip shortly after charging) was 85%.

    Tesla's "rollout" 0-60

    I never owned a Tesla but always respected the company for its audacious pioneering role in bringing EVs into the mainstream, even though some of its hyperbolic language is silly or sometimes even dangerous (think Autopilot or Full Self-Driving).
