Interesting Taycan18 I am an Octopus customer, not heard of Octopus Agile before. My current deal finishes in two weeks, how long have you been using Agile, how much of a success has it been?

As a footnote, Porsche decided to refund the blocking charge, the money arrived in my account today. I made the points above that :- Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, any term that imposes a financial charge must be: Transparent Prominent at the time of contract Fair and proportionate...

Battery balancing is a well-known technique across many industrial and aviation applications to increase capacity. For me I ran the battery down to 0 miles range, left it for a few hours and had a 5 mile range after re-balance. I then rebalanced again and saw the range come back up to over 2...

I beg to differ, when the batteries go through their re-balancing routine, it will increase the range if the batteries were out of balance. From what I have seen, everyone that completed the routine has seen the range increase where their batteries were out of balance.

Your results look great. When I looked at my battery, it seemed to me that it is when the battery is empty that you will see the greatest offset between cells. There was also the guidance that when you fully empty the battery it will rebalance the cells and increase the range.

To answer the OP original question, "I have had my Taycan for a few weeks, and notice that the brakes feel a little spongy." My brakes were spongy after a recall where the front brake hoses were replaced. My guess is that air was somehow introduced during the procedure. A second visit to...

A PIWIS 3 for only $75 - Rennlist - Porsche Discussion Forums

Nothing to wait for CAGCTG, the Taycan is a fabulous car and deserves to be enjoyed now, there will always be worthwhile innovations in the pipeline. I have a well sorted 1200 + BHP Nissan R35 GTR, the Taycan beats it in every way except outright pace that can only be safely achieved on a...

You need PIWIS or another advanced system to activate the ABS if there is air in that. Pressure bleeding is so much simpler than pumping the brakes, makes an excellent job and only requires one person. These systems are not expensive and are well worth the money IMHO.

The latest breakthrough in EV battery technology is called Silicon Anode. If you had this technology in your Taycan, it would double the range. The weight per kWh is 1.9 kg to 2.8 kg per kWh, roughly 2/3rds the weight of current battery technology, so EV's are going to get a whole lot more...

If you have direct charging selected, it will charge to 100%. Timers and profiles work when DC is off on my J1.1

I love mine without. Might be worth you gettting yourself a track car if you miss the gear changes

It will be worth checking if the heater requires component protection to be removed for the heater to work?

I have PCCB's on another non-Porsche car, never hear a noise from them. I have Titanium shims behind the pads and also copaslip grease behind the pads, both of these are anti-squeal measures.

My tariff is called Intelligent Octopus Go 12M Fixed. It expires in August, but I think it rolled over from last year. When I joined, I had to take the standard tariff, then ask to be switched to the EV tariff.
