Having owned a 2022 Taycan RWD and still do own a model S 100D I agree with most of the comment here.
Taycan is a car which happens to be an EV, almost a bit of an afterthought. Certainly the UI/UX in the car and app are so bad, it’s really not acceptable.
Model S is on the other hand is a...
Just get a tesla if you care about a practical, easy to use and fast UI ?
I’ll take my model S any day of the week for long Road trips over Taycan. Mainly because it’s so much easier./ in the Taycan I’m always fapping around with dozens of apps…
the software isnt good, nor fast. The screen is...
Except the Tesla software works much better and is free.. well.. you don’t loose much if you dont pay.. you can use your phone as a hotspot.. you only need to pay 10 / month for the connection if you don’t want to use your phone..
But yeah.. it’s just the price you need to pay if you wanna...
Calendar aging is the biggest factor. Even if you don’t drive the car, after around 7-8 years around 15-20% will be lost. Normally after one year 5% will be lost, then it evens out to about 1-2 % : year.
biggest factor seems to be ambient temp and the SOC.
The higher both of these the higher...
I Know from experience you can drive a model s around 20-30km below zero..
With the Taycan it’s maybe a few km.. 0 is basically 0.
personally I m more a fan of the Tesla approach.
I have 14% degradation after almost 230.000 km in a model S, so I don’t doubt their claim.
My taycan has 25.000 km after two years. I’m not worried about degradation at all.
I drive a Taycan and a Tesla model s.. the latter has never had a service.. almost 250k km..
That's one of the biggest differences between Porsche and Tesla.. Porsche is used to service cars as much as possible and they want your money for the EV's as well.
Besides the interior filter and...
Exactly my experience as well.. just finished a trip ( 1600 km in Germany) 90% autobahn. I adhered to the speed limits and on the unlimited sections I tried to cruise at 170-190kph. Ofcourse this is not always possible because of traffic. Sometimes hitting vmax aswell (238kph , software limited...
Yes.. ofcourse.. only when you are at 10% SOC or lower do you notice a serious drop in performance..
BTW : I notice that between 80-100% Soc the degradation seems to ‘reside’. After charging to 100% the range drops fairly quick.. much quicker than when new. below 50% Soc I can still achieve the...
Haha.. for me the answer is : NO
I ve owned a Macan, Panamera, still own a Tesla Model S and a Taycan..
Model S is a vastly different car than the Taycan.
I actually prefer the Model S ( when speeds stay below 120-130kph) for fast drives the Taycan.
While the driving dynamics of the model
s...
LOL that seems ludicrous and bad development… I know for a fact that the battery gets cooled and/or heated to get best charging speeds. If the battery gets too hot the charging will slow down.. if the battery gets too hot will driving the power will be reduced to cool down the battery.. so...
Actually it has been tested that around 160-180kph is the best cruising speed for EV’s, permitted there are enough fast chargers around and the car in question can charge at high speeds.
you could drive at 90kph but the driving time would double and charging from 10-80% takes only 20 mins...
I don’t think it matters too much.. battery degradation will occur no matter what.. even when the car is never charged..
my model S has almost exclusively been supercharged for 100.000 miles and still have only lost 15% after 4 years.. last two years maybe 1% each year..
Taycan on the other...
Strange those waiting time in the US of A . For perspective : I placed an order in February this year and in may ( same year ) my build was already finished ?
OT : today it was warm outside and was charging at 11kw ( deliver to car 10.2kw ) but the weird thing is there was a fan going.. I guess...
can anyone explain to me why they charge you almost 0,5 euro's per minute fast charging with the Porsche card ?? Ionity seems the only exception.
I understand a price per kWh.. it makes sense to do it this way.. but also a fee per minute ? LOL
I kinda regret not getting the Bose (the base audio is so so bad) and I also regret not getting ACC.. but I still have a Model S with an awesome audio system and autopilot..
I'd say spec as you want, but what you don't spec.. you can never ever add!
Suppose it also depends on how long you want...
