Not my cup of tea in any case, but the standard displays look truly pitiful compared to the hyperscreen.

I keep it simple and self-insure. Beats listening to the finance guys/girls sales pitch and agonizing/haggling over costs and probabilities. If I curb a wheel, well, my motto is that stupidity needs to be punished immediately.

Had to do that once (out of 4 charging sessions) at an EA charger. Does anyone know how to get the cord back into hole?

I used one by accident a few weeks ago (my first charging session with the new car; missed the EA station 100ft away). Worked w/o problem, but not very fast (< 50kW?).

Key in determining the price points here is the fact that the suckers are not that poor, on average...

Thanks, very useful, if not totally reassuring.

LOL. German, as you said.

Saw a 4S with PCSB at the EA charger today - those things are MASSIVE. Don't know that there's much utility, but they do look quite impressive inside the 21" Mission E style wheels.

Something new every time I visit the same local EA charger: first two visits, plug&charge worked, with ~100kW charging rate requested and delivered. Next visit, plug&charge doesn't do anything, rather than call EA I decide to pay $9 for 30min. 100kW again. Today, no plug&charge, but thanks to a...

Car yes, charging app (EA) no - worked twice, didn't work the third time, all at the same charger.

Hm, just went for my third free session at the local EA station, and this time it didn't start charging but offered guest or member access. Opening the EA app and tapping the phone didn't do anything, so I ended up paying $8 to charge from 30 to 80%

Switched from a '14 Carrera 4S w/ Sport everything to a base Taycan with PB+ and no other performance options. Sounds like a downgrade, but very happy so far. I wish Porsche didn't hobble the RWD Taycan from a standstill, but once moving there's more than enough speed for daily life in the...

Nah, then it would be air-cooled..

Baffling approach by VW AG. OTOH, my success rate at EA chargers is 100% - 2 out of 2 attempts :cool: Fortunately I have no intention of taking the Taycan on a road trip anytime soon.

I have the same question - one youtube review claimed that overboost remains available for the whole drive if one used launch control (which seems somewhat implausible, but who knows). Reg. launch control - compared to launching a 911 with the engine bouncing off the limiter, launch control on...

Taycan replaced a 911 that spent most time sitting in the garage or in the shop (because I had been sitting in the garage for too long). 98% of the time the Taycan just makes more sense, and I think a modestly equipped RWD with fed tax credit is a bit of a bargain.

I'm confused. Currently at ~300 miles. If there's no recuperation yet, what is the green band on the powermeter indicating when I'm braking?

That what I thought - from the title I assumed OP was looking at a deeply discounted RWD as a risky bargain to get into a Taycan. For $150k there are lots of options that are far less likely to spend a good fraction of their life in the shop.

Same here, 4, 10, 12 - one car seat. Wouldn't go on a long road trip, but fine for around town.

I have the limestone standard interior and like the way it looks and feels. But then I also liked the standard interiors in my Macan and Carrera 4s.
