My 2025 Taycan Turbo S Sport Turismo started braking with regen after 220km. or 136 miles. Message displayed in notifications.

Hopefully this afternoon after pre-delivery inspection, it will be passed on to me, board a covered transport and off to be ceramic coated. Hopefully by Friday I can start using it.

I like them a lot better than the 2nd generation Mission E wheels I ordered, which I saw in person at the dealership the other day. They are really ugly and worse in black. I am unsure as the GT’s have a different brake configuration with what seems to be smaller calipers. Also, they only...

Now it feels like a great sportscar after finally being confident when braking. After commending my dealer and asking them what was involved, they confirmed brake hoses and fluid was replaced (obviously any air was bled) and a software update was performed as well. So it is anybody’s guess...

Going to my dealer to change my order.

I quote from IOS app update description to version 6.2.0: This release contains minor fixes, improvements and new features: Integration of your charging equipment (Mobile Charger Connect) I have seen a new charging icon at the bottom of the vehicle tab, yet the options that appear in mine just...

I am quite happy with the new PCM. Seems zippier, liked to be able to change 5 icons for the ones I use the most. Anybody else notice they changed the turn signal sound, or am I going crazy ? It sounds to me like my father’s multiple Peugeot 404’s and 504’s from the 60’s and 70’s.:surprised...

In Europe at least the Porsche Charging Service works with several networks and if I had Plug and Charge (2020 Turbo S), there are several stations where 2-4 networks where I have signed up have Plug and Charge capabilities. Now, I just pick the card or app where the price is lowest. I was...

I have been meaning to ask this for over two years now and always forget. It is like cars seen on inside rear-view mirror appear like hearse conversions because the upper fourth appears stretched vertically. I presume the complex curvature at that point may be the reason… Mine is a sedan.

It is basically all common sense. See: https://ionity.eu/en/stories/charging-etiquette

While I was driving the last legs solo, I was looking for things to do and decided to see what the traction display on the left tube showed me while driving on the highway at high speeds through Germany. While you maintain your speed, most of the traction is from the rear, when accelerating...

Sorry about the primitive spreadsheet. I have included as much data as I could gather. Missing data at some points, as I failed to remember to take photos of dash or tube 3 was not set to info…:headbang: Just as I estimated total cost of charging was just over 1000€, not bad for almost...

One annoying criticism I would like to make, is that most chargers are not marked clearly with their maximum output. This would benefit everyone and would be a matter of placing decals to identify them easily. On most of my road trip this was an issue. Until you looked at the specs of the...

I had assumed I would be back with front tires ready for change because I had changed the previous ones with 17k kms. However after 17k kms with these there must be enough tread for 4-5k kms left on them. The rears I changed before departure, have about over half the tread left, so also better...

Tarifa to Nordkapp distance 5,989 kms in six days. Nice to be home again. Definitely, it is plausible to travel through Europe with planning and preparation. Not as straight-forward as an ICE, and more stops required. However it has been highly rewarding to make my dream become a reality. I...

After driving thru Germany at speed, the extrapolated result is a jaw-dropping 265 km. range in normal mode with ac in eco mode. Hopefully after a return to “normal” speeds, the range will start climbing to the usual 380km. In the summer. No crucial charging issues at all during the trip. A...

After resting at my daughter’s house for a couple of days, I resumed my trip At 09:00 this morning. I just barely had time to initiate charging, go to the john, buy some water or water and food, check my itinerary, stop charging and get back on the road. All Ionity stops today. Range mode...

I have confirmed it was open to all cars…

Most of the route was exactly the same as on the way up North. Fortunately, the road closed detour we had encountered, was reopened, albeit, with many roadworks and a short unsurfaced section. We have been using the car as a giant flyswatter !
