The point was that when this happened my first best option and choice was to act to reduce any chance of damaging my battery by utilizing the infrastructure that I understood to be in place for such things. AAA, Porsche SOS, etc. . I posted the story to warn others of this gap in support for us...

Thanks for the notes. Some interesting stuff here, most I already know. My tragic tale is NOT MY ROUTINE. It was ONE exceptional experience and will not be repeated. I don’t “live on the edge”.

I have never run my phone battery to empty. Never run out of gas. Never missed a flight, lost my keys, or forgot to pay a bill. For some reason, people contributing to this thread seem to assume I’m some kind of dumb-ass. I can assure you, I am most certainly not.

I believe that is the reason I did not get the predicted range I saw when I started out. Including the fact that I was hyper-milking the whole way. I’d say I lost about six miles of range, or about 20% Due to rain and chilly temps.

really? How useful. Thanks for the wisdom.

You know what they say when you “assume”, don’t you? I have never run out of gas in my 52 years of driving. How ‘bout you?

Thanks for the reality. I appreciate your return to the intention of my OP. I knew there is a “limp-in” ability and that is indeed what got me home. I would have made it just fine if not for the weather factor, which was worse than predicted. And to all you well-meaning respondents above (and...

Here is my tragic tale. If you don’t feel like you’re an early adopter, this saga may have you feel otherwise. Tonight I was invited to join a friend to attend a discussion at University of California, Santa Barbara on artificial intelligence and Neurotechnology. It was fascinating. So now...

In my Sport Turismo GTS I am almost always in Individual mode, which I have set up as sport driving, normal ride height (for the dips and driveways) and sport chassis. No sound, thank you. I find sport mode just right in that configuration. Sport plus is faster, and firm, true, but for the...

I just had the nose, hood and all doors coated in PPF. Parking Lot Rash is real and this should help. Lots of stone chips here too on the high speed runs down the 101. For me, it’s not about the $. It’s about the emotional damage and the security of knowing that the car has some real...

I have comfort access, and usually the car turns on when I sit down in it with the key fob, but not always! For some reason about 20% of the time it just sits there and forces me to manually turn on the car. Pretty annoying. Seemingly very random. Does anyone have any suggestions about how I can...

I’m an EDC guy. I carry a pocket knife in my pocket, some tissues, MAYBE a chap-stick and that’s it. I do also carry a handbag, since 1969 in fact, because l like to be prepared and equipped, but not in my pockets. I’m a Product Designer, and a Master Craftsman, so the quality is very important...

I also find my 18-way seats narrow in the upper thigh/hip cradle. I believe that this is intentional, given the track-focused nature of my GTS ST. I wish there was a width adjustment for the leg bolster width.

I just received my Delivery Experience for my GTS, and the Tech had some interesting info I had never seen anywhere. He says that the ReGen is mostly with brake pedal use, as we all know, but this fact was interesting: The brake calipers don’t engage at all with braking forces at or below 1/2-G...

You did a smart thing, not a wrong thing. Early-years depreciation is the steepest and especially with high-value cars ist is always smart to let the original buyer take the hit, then swoop in for a deal. Low miles, well optioned and never look back.

Thanks for the confirmation of the fit for the Cross Turismo! I believe it is identical to my GTS Sport Turismo, so I ordered one. I’ll let everyone know if it works out. I’ll need it when I get my electric surfboard Soon!!!

WE DID IT! My son and I had an incredible day. I super-recommend this if you can swing it. The cars on display in the L.A. facility were very interesting. There is a large glass window area into the workshop, the only place where they build race engines here in the USA I believe. The gift shop...

Thanks Richard! Great advance intel. Ill being some ginger candies! And if I’m lucky enough to have the same team, I’ll relay your greets. I don’t tend to get the greens in a car, even during my go-kart training, but it’s always better to have and not need, than need and not have!

A battery powered car with a matte black skin… say goodby to 20 miles per charge keeping the interior cool. (At least here in the sunny southwest)

I’M SURPRISED TO SEE A TAYCAN GTS THAT IS NOT THE SPORT TURISMO format! I had read, and was told, that the only GTS available (for now in the US) is in the Sport Turismo format. I am picking mine up TOMORROW at the PEC LA!!! My son and I are STOKED! (In the Californian sense, of course! Surf’s UP!)
