    Do you remember how to drive an ICE vehicle?

    My Taycan was in for a recall heater replacement and tire change for the last couple of days, and we got an ICE Macan as a loaner. The thing with the key that isn't really a key because you can't take it out that you described in the OP always gets me as well. I frequently just stop the car, put...

    Mine was done within 48 hours of dropping it off.

    🔋 Baseline for HV Battery SoH Performance (Battery Degradation Data by Taycan Owners)

    I hesitate to answer "no" to questions that start "is it possible". In this instance, I suspect that what you are more likely observing is not the battery "healing itself", but rather the range estimator adjusting itself to the way that you are using the vehicle and ambient conditions. I...

    Is there any Taycan morning drive event in Bay Area CA?

    I'm fairly close to where 92 meets 280, and Skyline is always a great drive. At least for me, you can even get quite a feeling of exhilaration without needing to go much faster than the posted speed limit. This was taken in the parking lot of one of those open-space areas around where Skyline...

    2nd Taycan - thoughts on my build?

    I was going to suggest that the massaging seats are worth it even if you don't specifically want the ventilation (which comes along as a side effect), but it seems that you have already chosen that. One option that I'm probably in the minority on is the night vision assist. If you don't drive at...

    POLL - How much would you pay for Porsche Connect

    No they aren't, because I filed the privacy opt-out before I took delivery of the car, and I'm not rescinding it. Technically, this makes no sense to me. All that is necessary to get real-time traffic information is location, not anything that can be tied to a specific individual. So if you're...

    POLL - How much would you pay for Porsche Connect

    What are you basing these assertions on? I can say this: I have explicitly filed "do not share my personal data" paperwork with Porsche. I know that it had some effect, because before I did that, there was "personalized" content in the TYD website, which turned into "nothing to see here" black...

    POLL - How much would you pay for Porsche Connect

    FWIW, https://customerservice.costco.com/app/answers/answer_view/a_id/796/~/do-i-need-a-membership-to-purchase-prescription-drugs%3F seems to suggest that you might want to inquire as to whether that membership is actually needed.

    POLL - How much would you pay for Porsche Connect

    I think that depends in part on exactly *why* it's free. For example, Costco uses the revenue it gets from memberships to be able to keep its retail prices lower than competitors. All other considerations aside, that's fair, because consumers can decide how much that membership is worth to them...

    POLL - How much would you pay for Porsche Connect

    I would like an option to cast a protest vote for zero, on the grounds that auto manufacturers should not be able to extort ongoing subscription money for what is arguably core functionality of a vehicle.

    🔋 Baseline for HV Battery SoH Performance (Battery Degradation Data by Taycan Owners)

    Current mileage: 10122 SoH: 92.2% No DC charging since last report Has been charged to 95% once since last report, other than that nothing above 85% Has not been below 25% since last report Voltage in all individual cells appears consistent

    This is why I love Taycan integrated screen design

    FWIW, both also available in the right tube. In fact, it's what I typically have there by default.

    This is why I love Taycan integrated screen design

    I confess I do not understand why anybody would ever option that analog clock that sits in the center of the dash. There is a clock in the driver tubes. There is another clock in the center screen. How many sources of temporal information do we need?

    Counterintuitive evidence regarding EV Batteries

    I'm sort of having a difficult time parsing the tone of the rest of your post, as it seems like it's saying my original statement was silly and wrong. So I'll quote this part and say that the difference between "total" and "usable" capacity that you describe here is what I was referring to as...

    Counterintuitive evidence regarding EV Batteries

    It might be worth keeping in mind that the 85% that we see isn't truly 85% of battery capacity (AFAIK), as there is "invisible" headroom managed by the battery management software.

    🎨 PTS: PAINT TO SAMPLE Taycan Club & Photos Thread

    I wonder if the 4S you're referencing is the one I saw the unboxing video of. It's such a difficult color to capture in photographs - all of the ones in your last post look much brighter and more heavily saturated than mine typically looks, even in direct bright sunlight: I do have STEK...

    Corrupted scrambled center screen.

    I agree that it's very unlikely to be software. I had a couple of Google Pixel C's die with that sort of symptom, initially presenting as intermittent and then Jackson Pollock Technicolor Screen of Death.
