Check this excellent post comparing charging session temperatures, speed, and energy wasted during pre-conditioning: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/will-my-taycan-pre-heat-the-battery-based-on-a-better-routeplanner-charging-stops.22826/page-2#post-347754 I agree that the Taycan...

beat this So what happened here? Our car wouldn't fast charge anymore, so we decided to hypermile and to hopefully get home in two legs (900 km total). Yes we were coming from the mountains, driving back to sea level. In the end we did manage to HPC charge, so, we didn't have to go for an...

Yes, this is going to be DC (*correction* AC, duh!) charging at home, and usually at slower speeds e.g. 4 kW. I believe there are other potential problems with going deep or high. I'm definately not an expert, but I've read about oxygen bubbles (depending on chemistry), crystals that might...

I had a similar problem with Ionity during a long trip and while in Germany, this was on 21th June 2025. However I am not using plug&charge (not available on MY2020) and always start charging sessions from the Ionity app on my phone by scanning the QR code. So in my case there was not a problem...

I’ve owned my MY2020 Taycan 4S with PB+ for about 3 years and driven approximately 50,000 km. So far, I’ve mostly done either really short daily drives (<10% SoC) or proper long trips with several HPC charges. I typically cruise with traffic and achieve better efficiency than what the car...

I will give it a try, not doing any pre-conditioning. When we set the car to charge at reduced speed (200 kW), the charging usually takes 18-22 minutes instead of 12-18 minutes. It also means we don't need to rush our cup of tea, and we don't feel like we are in some kind of race. Let's see...

Yes, and that is where the problem lies. The built-in navigation stops automatically if you show ABRP (while navigating) via Apple Car Play.

If I remember correclty, when navigating on any iPhone app, as soon as you show this app in Apple Carplay, the car gets notified that some type of navigation app is active in Apple Car Play. This then stops the in-car navigation and I can see the logic in that. However, when using A Better...

I keep getting notifications that the "connected services" will disappear from the web URL my.porsche.com. I am just wondering, are they really going to remove "all connected features" from the website? I can hardly believe that downloading a trip log (for instance) will no longer be possible...

True. However there used to be a bug where the swipe left would not remove the stored location. No matter how often you try it. And this bug, supposedly was addressed in the "big" software update of 2022 (whatever that was called). I still have the bug.

My understanding is when you are DC charging, while the car's battery management system is in control of the charging session, the "charger" itself is the equipment outside of the car providing DC directly the battery. With AC, yes the charger (AC to DC) is in the car.

Sometimes I steer into a curve, and ALK has the same perfect line ... and then the message pops up that the car would like to see proof that I am paying attention. This does not happen often, but kind of shows that the car wants to feel *rotation* not *grip*. Another thing that I noticed is...

The problems I reported earlier (parking sensor malfunction & 1 of the 2 charge ports not opening) were gone the next day. This was when temperatures were still below 0 'C. Just mentioning it here, to have a fair statement on the record. It would be fun to reverse engineer the Porsche algoritm...

I have ACC and ALK but not InnoDrive. I noticed that when I set ACC in "speed limiter mode", it tries to detect/assume the speed limit. Which works quite erratic in my experience. I did not find the speed limiter very useful nor convenient, but it was a nice way to test how good (or bad...

Another thing I want to mention, pre heating is setup a bit too aggressive (in my opinion), I find heating up the battery to 30 degress Celsius is a bit too much and a waste of energy. Also, it appears the car wants to pre heat for 30 minutes (?) or so. Next time I will do this manually and I...

-5 degree Celsius here in NL. After I drove 130 km, back 130 km, I arrived home with 12% state of charge. Then I noticed that my right side charge port would not open (I have the manual version). So, if I would have been on a longer trip, a HPC session would have been problematic? I decided to...

I agree to your logic and rationale, however in practice it turns out that even following the default settings of either your browser/OS or the user profile is not how my.porsche.com works. I gave this a few tries. (1) I reconfigured & rebooted macOS to run with nl-nl as default region and...

Maybe nice for you to have miles and mph, but I'm using km & km/h here. And I'd like to learn how to default to those in the web gui.

Since last week the web gui on my.porsche.com shows the trip details in miles and speed in mph. This used to be km and kmh. I can fix this by going to my profile settings and selecting preferred language "English" (which is already the active setting). Then the web gui switches back to km and...

Just to add one data point, when I was considering a second hand Taycan 4S from a rational point of view I knew that I would be happy with the normal battery. Suppose the PB can bring you 380 km in a day (have some SOC% left for peace of mind and then you home-charge), and the PB+ can bring you...
