Except the battery on any other car won’t kill you if you get it wrong.

To add to the above, the car uses the motors to do most of the braking and put the energy back into the battery. The only time it uses the mechanical brakes is if the battery is full and won’t accept any more input from the motors braking, the last few mph when you are coming to a stop, you...

A mix. According to Porsche off is the best for energy efficiency. I have it off on long cruising roads. I switch it on for controlling speed downhill and I switch to Sports+ mode for driving twisting roads. It has a much stronger regeneration in that mode - more like having engine braking...

That’s why I use Google Maps or Waze. Porsche navigation is poor too.

I use Google/Waze and transcribe the charging location from the Porsche charge planner and then switch the charge planner off but keep the Porsche nav in the speedometer screen for the map that shows the boundary of where I can get to on the current charge.

Preconditioning depends. Many find it crashes the Porsche navigation app every half hour or so. If it doesn’t then it will precondition as much as time and driving allows (about an hour). Otherwise don’t use Charge Planning but set the car to Sports+ about 40 minutes before you want to charge.

You’ll probably be disappointed the first time on DC charging rates until you get the hang of battery temperature /preconditioning and starting charge percentage. Also as you’re coming from the Netherlands beware long uphills which can drain the battery until you get to the top and recharge...

Which side is your DC port? Mine (UK) is on the left which you said wasn’t working.

Can’t help feeling manufacturers design cars to discourage working on them. Why should you need to take the back seats out to remove the dashboard for example? Didn’t know about the bonnet/hood moving up to protect pedestrians in an accident though. And don’t have the HUD but had assumed...

Kudos to him for doing it. Just worried he’s going to find the battery has been damaged and that’s a major issue. Maybe why Pt2 has not arrived.

How dare you ask! 😂

That’s as I expected. Right paddle equates to changing down to overtake. Left paddle changes the level or recuperation aka engine braking similar to changing gears in a manual car.

I think they are designed to emulate gear changes. So flipping the paddles increases or decreases the level of regen which simulates engine braking differences between gears in an geared car. The IONIQ5N started the trend AFAIK. BICBW

Apart from the first mile where it uses the mechanical brakes to clean the pads and discs the braking thereafter uses the electric motors regeneratively

Given the depreciation on Taycan’s I’d be inclined to get a good deal now on a used J1.2 and then trade it in for a used J2.1 in a two or three years. You will get to know and enjoy the J1.2 for the next year or so and will save a lot of money over buying a new J2.1 next year if indeed it ever...

How about they process the refund and compensation and then if they ever have a 22kW to replace it with, you pay the refund back at your option?

Or you can use a Brodit clip and keep the cup holders free for cups and keys.

For me as a beneficiary of the heavy discount on a used Taycan I’m not complaining. And they are still pretty rare on the roads and get a lot of compliments, at least in my case. I got it as a stop-gap to the new Cayman/Boxster EV, if it ever happens, but now plan to keep it and my current...

The Nav rebooting is a post an over the air update. Provided you don’t do charge planning it shouldn’t crash. But would recommend Google Maps or Waze then as the Porsche nav app is pretty poor IME>

I would say yes but only closely supervised. On his own, no way. On their own there is always the temptation to have a go but without the experience to know how it can go wrong and how to correct it if it goes wrong.. With adult supervision they can get some of the thrill and experience...
