    100% Range on Taycan ST Turbo S

    I agree - individual trip numbers don't add up. Mine go from 4.9 to 1.8, but eyeballing the average, it's more like 2.5. Not sure how Porsche gets these numbers - it would be interesting if someone has the algorithm.

    100% Range on Taycan ST Turbo S

    Both car readout and app agree with 3.1mi/kWh. Here are the readouts:

    100% Range on Taycan ST Turbo S

    I learned about 'rebalancing' from the Porsche official battery technician, who was at the time one of 11 certified in the US. They flew him in from Atlanta to diagnose and fix my battery which was showing significantly reduced range and was discharging when sitting idle. He identified one...

    100% Range on Taycan ST Turbo S

    The 260 miles is at fall/winter temperatures. Summer will be closer to the 300.

    100% Range on Taycan ST Turbo S

    Good question. Over the past 6397 mi. I'm averaging 3.1 mi/kWh.

    Taycan Turbo GT production numbers?

    The dealer said no to the Weissach package because they can make one themselves by just removing the rear seats and a number of other 'unnecessary' extras...:CWL:

    100% Range on Taycan ST Turbo S

    I get over 300 miles (range setting) estimated on my 3-1/2 year old 40K mile Turbo S. As mentioned, this does need to be viewed in the proper context. The temperature affects the range estimates significantly, and the 300+ mile estimate needs to be at almost 70 deg F or higher ambient. Also...

    The New Two-Tone Seats

    Just IMO - I think the beige looks great and the red/black is one of those WOW! interiors, but I'm afraid I would get tired of the volume after a year or so...😵

    Best Practices for Charging?

    The problem may be the Porsche charger, which is a POS unfortunately. Everyone should get another charger. Charging every day to 85% is not only fine, it may be the best way to charge. I have almost 40K miles and I've been charging every day for 3-1/2 years. I did have two cells replaced 6+...

    Need Charger Suggestion for high outlet please

    I would check out this relatively new charger. Very high ratings and it is very simple to install. Has a much longer outlet cord than most.

    New Charger-related recall (for the 240 V cable) (NHTSA ID 23V-841)

    Porsche can't supply us with a charger that works. My PMCC has stopped working, and I had to buy another charger. Yes, it's reimbursed, but I cannot believe a major car manufacturer like Porsche can't even supply their customers with a simple charger that works when there are a dozen third...

    Eviqo Charger

    That is obviously the Porsche charger... ;)

    Porsche Charging Lounge experience

    Well, Porsche must have had somebody else set this up. They can't seem to figure out how to make their own chargers... :mad:

    Eviqo Charger

    Anyone tried this? I've installed and it was simple and works great! iPhone control lets you monitor and schedule charging. Very simple - plug and charge 40A is the default. Can do 48A if you hardwire.

    World Premiere: 2025 Taycan Turbo GT and Taycan Turbo GT with Weissach Package

    Get what?? I'm always in favor of good engineering, especially when it comes to cars. Removing a bunch of features and seats to reduce weight is not good engineering - it's just silly. I'm not going to reinforce this kind of ridiculousness.

    World Premiere: 2025 Taycan Turbo GT and Taycan Turbo GT with Weissach Package

    I would agree with you when it comes to sports cars. Doing this to a four-door sedan is ridiculous. What’s next, a Weissach version of the Macan??:rolleyes:

    Will older models get the new push to pass upgrade?

    I wouldn't pay anything for this feature. I can't remember the last time I had to use full-throttle to pass a car. Anyone with a Turbo S think they need this??

    Pictures of the 2025 Taycan Turbo from SXSW

    As mentioned before, this looks like a revision designed by a committee. The first Taycan was designed based on the Mission E, and IMO is one of the most beautiful cars on the road - probably one of most beautiful 4 door ever designed. The new version looks like it was modified by some...

    2020 Taycan Turbo S or 2022 Taycan 4S!?

    Turbo S for sure - 8K miles is basically a new car. You'll always wonder what it would have been like if you don't get it...😬
