DC Charging Rates of 100-150kW will result in battery temperatures of 95-100°F.

DC Charging Rates of 250kW resulted in observed battery temperatures as high as 121°F

The charging sessions usually started with battery temp 85-90°F. (assuming the car pre-conditioned the battery as I was approaching a Charging Station)

Hello,
just in case, where can you see the battery temperature, please?
Tx!

It’s a configuration option for the right hand dashboard Info display.

In this photo it is at 73°F.

So Don, do you believe you should not top it off for daily driving?

The manual says don’t do that. But I can’t read.
;-)

So I’m just going to charge to 100% because I live in Maine. There’s a lot of rural roads in this state that won’t be on the charging grid anytime soon.

Also, I like being the extreme test case.

Be careful following me..,you might not like where I go.

I've read a lot of your posts and like your frankness. I hope Porsche is reading them also.

I knew I had seen a maximum charge SOMEWHERE... but I forgot where. I don’t yet have a home charger so all my charging so far has been at public chargers.

ok... here’s where you set maximum charge: In the TIMER. (Not at all obvious)

Set up a Departure Timer. In there you specify the target maximum charge.

Thank you.
I hope Porsche is reading them, too! I think they probably are (I used to when I shipped new products). But I don’t expect direct answers. That’s not how most development teams work.

I’m too old to be less than frank. What will they do? Fire me? No one has paid me! :)

Anyone has any idea how to fix app not connecting to the car? The car itself has connectivity, so the problem is somewhere else...

Can you login at login.porsche.com and see your car? If not you need help from your Porsche Center.

I can login but cannot see the car. Also, the car’s built in 4G does not seem to be getting any data through, as none of the Taycan connected services seems to be working.

Anyone knows of a way to reboot just networking services?

I think your Porsche Center have not made the config for you car you should get a code in a sms and you can you should then create a Security code you so you can login in your car with your Porsche id. If your not login in you can use all apps.

I am sure I need help from them already. But it’s Saturday. And this used to work for two months... then all of a sudden I went for an update in the PC and three days later - kaboom.

You have to disable "privat mode".
Be sure the "internet connection" is checked.

How long did it take you guys for the Porsche Connect to be activated? We did all the steps at the dealership but after 4 days my online profile and app still show “pending activation”?
