That’s it but the eBay description is nonsense.
I saw a Taycan OTA module on ebay once advertised as an audio amplifier likely because is has "Harman" written on it as manufacturer. People parting these cars out not Taycan experts. Heck, most Taycan drivers would not be able to accurately identify parts from their cars.
The black thing on the boot lid looks like a window box which can be very heavy when watered but I would still think it must have been high up on a tower block to cause that damage.Complete tangent, but the car from this listing seems to have some unusual damage - hit from above in the rear. Parked under a construction crane? Lose load from a braking truck behind? Crazy ex-wife in a forklift? The heater should be all good though.
I imagine it does.
Fairly sure the Taycan will do a similar range of things with its heating / cooling system.
Tesla can heat up the cabin just as fast as the Taycan without the 7.5KW webasto heater (since it does not have such a heat source at all). From what I read here, Taycan cannot heat up the cabin at all if the webasto is broken, so apparently the Taycan system is cannot even produce the "joules needed handle the few grams of air". Perhaps being able to heat the car even if some of the components of the system die is considered an unnecessary showing off to the punters?
Comparing the system in the self study guide to the Tesla system (see 3 part guide below), the eTron GT/Taycan system is fairly primitive. For one, Taycan would not need the webasto heater at all (note that Tesla system does not have a resistive heater, and with 16 heat sources it's fairly redundant - failure of one or even more does not leave your cabin without heat).
Yeah doesn’t come as a massive shock that Tesla have built a better mousetrap here, you’d possibly consider this to be their third “generation” of the HVAC system with Octovalve etc. Potentially compared against what we have in the e-tron GT / Taycan very much a first generation attempt.
Talking about getting rid of extras; Hyundai / Kia on the E-GMP platform use the motor drives / inverters to do the 400/800V step up when charging on a 400V DC charge point like Tesla Superchargers. Saves on another box.
Teslas have multiple such resistive heaters, so does the Taycan except it doesn't have a way to use them as such. In the first video I posted, look for the 6 alternate heat sources which they use when needed (when temps drop under 10C IIRC, so no, they don't "overheat" to generate heat, they simply bring them to an operating temperature). From the video:
