If my etron is at 30% charge and I plug it into a fast commercial charger it accepts electricity at 150kw. Right up to 80.% then reduces to 100kw for 80%to 90% then 50kw oneards
the Porsche charges at just over 200kw till up to about 30% then 100kw
basically I spend longer charging in a...
Got to say, I think the porker charge rate is just too clever and defeats purpose.
My etron charges at 150kwh right up to 80%. Much more useful in normal life that the Porsche cycle
So it was the charger unit. It failed and was replaced last year. New unit failed as well.
It was the 22kw charging unit that was an optional extra.
they have replaced the unit but downgraded it to the 11kw version and applied 12V update.
Let’s see how this goes
no warning. It did spend 2w telling me there was an OTA update to do with battery management. However last week that message stopped implying the update was successful
2y old car. Must be the 6-7th time this has happened. Ive had it from new.
THe Porchse recovery guy reckons there is a fault with the 12v battery as it accepts charge slowly at the start of the topping up process. After 5min it then behaves normally.
Keep taking it to main dealer who say the...
first service of a J1.1 GTS saloon. Porsche Tonbridge. I am very happy. I liked that they let me inspect the underside of the car on arrival with the service guy. Price was good (to be fair a previous quote some months previously was nearer £1000 as it included a zircon service for £250 which...
TBH a bit shocked by this. So few J2’s have this specced; apparently not enough usage. There were charging £730 each for ALK and innodrive. No wonder. It’s a £900 option FFS.
anyway, I’m kinda shocked by this.
So if I have a J1 GTS with standard matrix LED lights> changing to J2 GTS will give me the same light package? I’m actually really happy with the J1 lights on the GTS
Any thoughts on the stock MATRIX LED lights that are standard on a J2 GTS vs the optional HD Matrix ones?
How do the Matrix LED lights in a J2 taycan compare to the standard ones in the J1 Taycan? (Exclusive Matrix LED headlights in black, with Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus)...
the deal fell through at the last minute because the dealer failed to mention they were selling me a non performance battery plus car built in 2024 that has been sat unsold on the forecourt for over 1y. Can you believe it
My j1.1 charges nice and quick till 50% then throttles down to 100kw - which is so slow.
Really annoying especially if you try and do quick top ups.
Have an Eton that does 150kw from start right up to 80%. So much better
I think Porsche really messed up the charging philosophy
well I have learned something. I thought the rads were transmitting a speed signal but it appears the car cams are working it all out from the signs. Magic
