That's what I've been doing but it doesn't stop the heater from possibly sucking up lots of the battery unless I also turn the temp way down. Even if I turn the temp down the range-o-meter tells me just running the fan is using some 4-6% range so either the calculation for range impact is...
I must be missing something in that I can clearly change to AC/AC ECO mode or turn off AC with climate control/fans remaining on, but the range-o-meter still shows substantial drop in range with what should just be FAN on (AC off, temperature set below actual temperature in car so no heat will...
And that is one of the reasons I got the non-CT Taycan 4S with the smaller battery... The car is already way too heavy before adding the big battery, that small amount of extra range still won't make a difference for 99% of my driving, and to just have enough HP to compensate for the battery...
Having only had sEVen, my 7th EV, a Taycan 4S for 2 months, that loss upon resale is a huge factor in my view of the car. My first 3 EVs were Volt leases, VERY cheap after subsidies. My last 3 full BEVs, Tesla Model 3 AWD+, Bolt, Ford Mustang Mach E, I ended up making money on (to the tune of...
Having just given my Taycan 4S a Gyeon can coat EVO and a week later seeing how the top 2/3 of the car seems clean as the day I washed it despite 3 days of rain but all that junk behind the front wheel and on the driver door, I'm going to look into either the mesh or the foam, probably going...
I get 3.3-3.7 on my Taycan 4S on long trips with standard battery but don't do as well around town where I always drive in sport mode (though not usually racing, I just hate the sluggishness if it starts in second and the transmission delayed shift to first when I stomp on it that makes me feel...
Second try later with the app and it worked... First time the car was still plugged in, second time I started charging from the app before plugging in... Hopefully Porsche gets it's act together with updates and P&C!
Also seems this is an issue related to latest Porsche Software update and...
Will try this after disabling plug and charge only in the car for a few minutes and re-enabling it first... I do not want to download a sketchy (charging NA, 1k downloads, 1.6 star rating) looking app if I don't have to but glad to know there's another option. Hopefully Porsche does some better...
So far no joy with P&C on my 2022 Taycan 4S, at chargers that did P&C just fine with my 2021 Mustang Mach E. I was able to use the app and charge at 1 of the 2 working chargers near me but it only charged at 38 Kw despite being 30% SoC ... Electrify America is pretty terrible in getting...
Thanks for the input... Just tried it from the app and it can't initiate from there either... I think Porsche hasn't updated a database somewhere yet with my data...
Don't suppose any of the other folks with Plug and Charge issues had that when they first got their cars? Just picked up my '22 Taycan 4S 9/1, added a credit card the my porsche account, the My Porsche App under Charging Service says "Charging Service valid. Ready for charging", and I have...
Good for them! I was shocked they allowed this behavior to persist the 3 years I owned my model 3 but glad they have finally addressed the safety issue. I suspect they still don't do any battery regeneration from using the brake pedal as perhaps they thought that blending (Chevy did it well in...
Agreed that we see waaay too many white/black/gray/silver cars these days... Did you actually choose the Mamba Green? Bravo if so! I considered it, but my wife and I decided that we weren't brave enough to order it without seeing a Taycan in that color in person... Went with the far more...
While I agree Tesla's interface is responsive and elegant (and best in class overall if you don't need Android Auto/Apple Car play for nav or music), the warnings about center console (and using wrong mechanism to open driver/front passenger doors from inside) were only there because the center...
Tesla never used brakes for 1 pedal driving regeneration, true. But Tesla never does *ANY* regeneration when you are touching the brake pedal (which is why you get far better efficiency for stop-and-go driving on a Tesla with 1 pedal driving ... Other EVs like Mustang Mach E, Bolt, Chevy Volt...
I wish I had this problem with my 2021 Mustang Mach E :). If I drive in "Unbridled" mode with single pedal driving, the brakes are hardly ever used. Good for brake dust and power recovery, but I have to turn off 1 pedal driving or even ride brakes and accelerator at the same time every so...
Agreed, but for me I plan on keeping the Taycan 4S for a year and losing that $7500 would be enough for me to not throw money out on the luxury sports car I don't need. :)
I did submit a > 5 % non-refundable deposit months back but was too busy taking daughter to college last week to notice this new bill had one key bit taking effect immediately. I am not 100% clear that this meets the full requirements as per IRS IRC 30D ... It seems to ... anyone talk to a tax...
