This is a really interesting thread this one and one I've kept a close eye on :like: - my Taycan spends most of its time on the lowest chassis setting and I'm not seeing anything like the inner tyre wear that some of the examples in this thread show (FWIW mine has RWS, Goodyears) - the only...
1st service (2yr) booked to coincide with brake pipe recall...
£440 inc. filters/brake fluid change. Initial quote included 'door sill check' @ £999 overall...:CWL:
Honestly, this is not going to encourage people into EVs...the simple fact is that the service burden on EVs is way less than on...
Just renewed mine. Priviledge refused to re-cover. Now with the AA for <1000.
That’s fully comp on a Turbo inc. business mileage.(12k overall/yr).
I must be considered ‘low risk’ :D
Surely the ability to be able to adjust the chassis independently of drive mode is a good thing (including being able to go to max' height via a single button press for speed bumps etc.)???
Ferrari has recently done something similar and adopted this approach with their 'bumpy road' setting...
Experience at Porsche Bristol positive.
Turbo was booked in for PCM update/battery check this week before Christmas without fuss (all good and PCM now MUCH better with zero bugs).
Got a well spec’d Storm Trooper spec Taycan 4S ST as a courtesy car, was originally told the job needed the car...
Are people honestly using Sport/Sport Plus (pic above) and expecting reasonable efficiency from a Taycan on shorter journeys??? You need to be prioritising 2nd gear for that...Normal/Range mode...
Well, based on those readings, relatively speaking, your tyres are overinflated. What brand are they? Not uncommon for some brands of tyre to be at 6mm new these days….in which case the wear is negligible on the outers.
Would recommend measuring them yourself though - doing this accurately...
220-250 miles on my Turbo driving 'normally' ie using the performance. Driving conservatively in range mode I've seen 275 miles in summer on the motorway. (Should be the same for a 4S.)
N.B. This is using 90%+ of the available battery capacity. If your the anxious type who won't charge above...
Rational explanation...it's not a Volvo, or an Audi (in which the tyre pressure is usually the same irrespective of tyre choice).
Summer/all-season tyres have very different handling characteristics and Porsche design their cars to handle and ride to the same standard irrespective of tyre...
Way too much internet hysteria over this topic in general.
It is going to do no harm to the battery whatsoever charging it to 100%, or leaving it at 100% for a few hours/days/weeks etc (if that were the case, Porsche would prevent you from doing so - in the same way they have implemented...
It's a tight clearance, but there is just enough room to disconnect it.
You need to pull the connector straight up and don't let the cable twist around so that the nut catches the plastic once you've loosened it (and I'm not trying to state the obvious, but also make sure you loosen the nut...
Just been out to look at mine and remind myself - it's the brown wire (with the black connector seal) that is the negative 12V battery wire - this is the one to disconnect :like: ). Apols for any confusion.
The picture in the thead quoted above is a good guide. It's what my (RHD) car looks like (and I've disconnected the negative terminal before to reset the LTE module).
Remove the plastic cover under the bonnet and the negative 12V battery terminal Is near the centre of the car, black cable (can be a little tricky to remove due to the plastic moulding just above it). :like:
Thanks for the responses all. Looks like I'll just have to put up with it being bloody annoying :headbang:
(Its a sorry state of affairs though when it's deemed necessary to fit cars with such 'feature' (that you can't disable)...sign of the times I suppose and is probably only going to get...
