  1. Battery Range dropped after service

    Same occurred for me - had the 2 year service a little more than a week ago and range has diminished, but I am guessing that it will come back as I drive the car more. Same thing happened when I took the car in for the 'big' update. Range came back after a few weeks of driving.
  2. Tesla to open ~20% of U.S. Superchargers to all EV by end of 2024

    Zzzzzzzzzzzz......................
  3. How long does the keyfob battery typically last?

    Same for me. Got the warning and replaced both batteries on both fobs. No more error messages.
  4. Why go for the Performance Battery Plus?

    No understanding of weight and/or relation to vehicle dynamics at all! ?. Pretty much rely on the articles that I read........................TurboS is definitely faster than the Turbo which is definitely faster than the 4S and the bigger battery pack has more range the the smaller battery...
  5. Why go for the Performance Battery Plus?

    Freema Agyeman For any vehicle (ICE or EV), with no equivocation, I cannot say that I purchased a vehicle with TOO much horsepower. Never, ever. Same for EVs - I cannot imagine saying that I purchased a vehicle with TOO much range. Never, ever. For both HP and range I want more, more...
  6. One more time: 85% Charging

    Agree, agree, agree. Life is way to short to even give this a passing thought. If this is so troublesome, trade the car in before the end of the battery warranty - 8 years - at least for me I am not planning on keeping this car for 8 years. Don't get me wrong, if fully enjoy my car but it is...
  7. First Road Trip Musings/Charging Infrastructure is a Joke

    As good as the car performed, what this trip convinced me of is the need to continue to own an ICE car as well so that I never have to rely upon the public charging infrastructure except in rare instances. Doubt I’ll be taking the Taycan on another roadtrip for a long time. What he said ?
  8. What would a battery swap cost?

    One of three things will happen to me. I may die between now and the time the battery needs to be replaced therefore I really don't worry about replacing the battery, or, I may trade my car in for a new one and not worry about replacing the battery, or worse, I may trade my car in for a new one...
  9. Brake-hold observation

    Yep. For me it seems an easier press if the car is on an incline or decline, but on level ground it feels like a harder press is necessary.
  10. New Electrify America (EA) Chargers failing in cold weather

    I paid for a Porsche first...............oh yeah it happens to be an EV. I purchased what I consider a toy - something to have fun with as I chose but not something that I would consider everyday transportation. For everyday transportation I contend that you need at least one ICE vehicle that...
  11. New Electrify America (EA) Chargers failing in cold weather

    Maybe not whiners...............we just want what we pay for. Not an unusually high expectation. Yes, I know that EV's and the charging system are new and the kinks need to get worked out but I don't think that it is out of line for me to expect to drive up to any charging station, plug-in...
  12. New Electrify America (EA) Chargers failing in cold weather

    Agree 100% - if you are going to drive an EV you need at least one ICE vehicle as a back-up, for all of the reasons that you mention...................and it does not matter who the manufacturer is, but with a smidge more confidence in the Tesla charging infrastructure (but I don't want a...
  13. My Taycan Nightmare

    Use the left foot to brake and the Use your left foot on the brake and learn how to control acceleration and braking with both feet. It takes a little while to learn but I left foot brake pretty much every car that I drive including rentals. I will tell you though on the Taycan that using...
  14. How do you like Apple CarPlay?

    I have not set up CarPlay either. My phone connects to the car as soon as I get in and I have access to answering or making phone calls through the PCM (if that is the correct acronym...............) I do have a favorite radio station that is always on and if I want to listen to my Apple Music...
  15. Pure filth

    No garage queens on this post!? Ferdinand Porsche would be proud!
  16. Which of these used / preowned Taycans is better choice?

    Key factor for me................Not from a Porsche Dealership and not CPO - pass on both. That's just me being overly cautious.
  17. Offered an extended warranty

    Couple of thoughts...............A warranty, insurance policy, etc., is only as good as the company behind it. I would do some pretty extensive research into complaints, particularly those related to denial of claims. Carrying that a bit further, the devil is in the detail. Did you get a copy...
  18. Taycan Performance Kit (Track Package) Ride-Along Review. May Be Offered Outside German Market

    What Dave said................. but honestly few if any driver's will be good enough or have enough seat time to get into the margins these improvements deliver. It takes a lot of experience and talent for for a driver to consistently drive these cars to the limit that these cars are capable...
