Really interesting. I've always packed the charger and cable but I bet I'll never use it. The only thing I could imagine would be somehow ending up at a house that only had 110V current and having no other options. Unlikely, especially with good planning.
I may rethink this and just carry...
Yes, I seem to remember that it does time out and you also have to watch out for amperage draw which is limited to something like 10A, I believe. Like I said, I'd only use it if "this is not a test." Now that I also have an Ioniq6, which supports V2L (vehicle-to-load) up to 15A through an...
However I was able to 12V trickle charge a Ecoflow storage battery using the 'cigarette light' 12V in the Taycan's trunk. I just did this for a few minutes as it would take a real emergency for me to need to do that so it wasn't much of a test.
The Taycan isn't the only EV experiencing dizzying depreciation. Last month I picked up a white 2024 Ioniq SEL with 5,500 miles for about 28% less than the MSRP of $43K. The car was sold by a Ford dealer and appeared (and appears) to be in perfect condition. Why buy? My wife loved riding in the...
My Porsche dealer told me that Taycan wheels were not in alignment but our local stellar tire store disagreed. Tire pattern wear also did not indicate an alignment problem.
I've heard charging to 85% is OK as Porsche seems to use both those numbers. That's what I've been doing. Hope you're right about all these take-aways. Thanks for the research!!
Here are two more pictures of the phone insert/holder. As you can see, the insert does not fit all the way down into the cup holder. Notice that I put the stickies on the bottom to touch the cup holder side pressure thingees but I don't think the adhesives ever worked and also don't think they...
Ok, my bad (eyes) ... I recently had cataract surgery and now can see that high beams are BLUE and low beams are GREEN when the Automatic hibeam adj. system is off. Personally I still these these colors are too close together ... something like bright green and bright yellow would make more...
My car is a '21 RWD. I don't believe I have Matrix headlights and haven't gotten a recall on that. Other than the instrument panel, I have no issues with adaptive headlights.
Following up ... I had a passenger watch the "A" mode while I was driving. When we approached a vehicle (or other shiny object) the high dropped as expected. However the color did not change from it's blue hue. Maybe this is unique to my car or to the model and year but there isn't any...
The OP didn't detail the extent of the issues and # of days in shop for repairs ("It spent a lot of time in the shop due to small electronic failures (door lock/unlock, key recognition failure, etc..)". It would be very frustrating to have a car in the shop for repairs 90 days over three years...
Sorry to strike a discordant note and no disrespect intended:
This seems like a misuse of the intent / purpose of the California Lemon Law (note: I'm no lawyer) and it might well be used as an way for car manufacturers to weaken a state law which is designed to protect consumers from getting a...
The Taycan is major achievement in automotive history IMO but Porsche created way, way too many models and flavors which necessitated setting the overall base price at, perhaps, 20% higher than it should have been … then all the options and more expensive models had to follow suit. Now there is...
This chart needs to be adjusted based on %-age of vehicle type to get a better idea of how these vehicle types compare in regard to vehicle fires. Still, its obvious that all electric vehicles are safer in this regard although a more accurate analysis comprehensive study would also factor in...
Thank you!!! I had previously tried to get the floor heating going but somehow I'd overlooked the floor directional option. It seems to work good although it wasn't immediately obvious where the heat comes from ... certainly not the vent above the foot well. I've learned a lot from this forum.
No, I'm almost always in "A" mode unless I get flashed.
However, it's good to know that this is my problem and not something that annoys anyone else. (Certainly for the color blind it would be a problem, but I can't make that excuse.)
Thanks. I'll check the heating settings later today and see if I can detect a warm breeze going towards the footwell.
Regarding the Green / Blue ... yes, I was aware of this green/blue description.However while driving I'm unable to detect the different between two rather close shades. That...
