I arrived in Miami/Brickell to visit my son there for the first time since COVID struck. The local Lucid showroom had an Air on display. Nothing wrong with it but nothing exciting or seductive either. I wish the company all the success but a car needs to be more than a set of great specs to...
I just saw that a couple of hours ago the new version 4.5 of the Connect App was released for iOS. I cannot judge whether there are noteworthy functional changes in practical use because my OTS module got fried during the recent software update and the replacement part from Germany is still at...
Every eighth Porsche sold globally was an all-electric Taycan.
Porsche has increased its global car sales during the first quarter of 2021 by 36% year-over-year to 71,986 (from 53,125) and achieved double-digit growth in all sales regions.
One of the major motors of growth was the all-electric...
Given the association between use of the Connect app and the 12V battery depletion issues (see numerous other threads on this forum), I never used the app to communicate with or check on my MY2020 4S. Tomorrow, I have my WMA5/7 update appointment. Is there any indication or evidence that it is...
I shut down and closed my 2020 4S on March 8, without any trickle charger or tethering to the PMCC/EVSE, and with Interior Monitoring off. SoC was 58%. Then went to enjoy the Colorado mountains for a month. As usual, I refrained from using the Connect app meanwhile or from logging in to the...
I have seen bits and pieces of advice around this on the forum, but would like to get experienced members' counsel. Next week, we are leaving for our place in the Rockies where we will stay about a month. Meanwhile, the Taycan will remain in our garage in New Jersey. What are the best...
This afternoon, I had to get my COVID vaccine at the improbable location of Atlantic City, NJ, which is a 203 miles roundtrip from where I live and therefore an ideal opportunity to test the real-world range of my Taycan 4S with the bigger battery and 19" wheels. I charged up to 98% SoC right...

By the way, this is purely speculative IMHO.
Hi @Administrator , thanks again for doing such a great job. With more than 2000 registered members on this forum, I wonder how the distribution of nationalities looks like, but I cannot immediately find a simple way to display this. You probably can. Would it be a privacy issue if you would...
This afternoon, I charged my battery from about 61% SoC to its General Profile-set level of 85% (see first picture below). The ambient temperature outside was around the freezing point and the temperature in my garage was 55F/12.5C. Later today, two things happened which I never noticed...
If I get it right, this forum has about 2,200 registered members? Even if some of us are still waiting for our Taycans to be delivered or are still on the fence whether to order one or not, that would mean that about one in ten owners of every Taycan sold is a forum member. Thanks again to...
Is there a simple way to measure or estimate the useable battery capacity? The kWh charged as read from the PMCC charger display is a gross number which does not take any charging losses into account, I suppose? Can we read the net kWh added to the battery somewhere? Or is there a...
This morning, I charged up to 100% because I will be driving down the Jersey Shore and back soon. The projected range was 284 miles (457 km) while my garage's temperature was 58 F (14.5 C). Before I will be leaving, I hopped in the car and drove down to the bakery to get some sandwiches for...
