Yes - it was more than a year ago, but the images still keep recurring every week, or even most days. The lease period will expire late this year, but I have made up my mind to buy the Taycan - even though that could be one of the least smart financial decisions I will ever take. Call me...

Try to use Ionity chargers where you can - many of the other providers boast about their fast charging capacity, but fail to deliver. Ionity is not always consistent, but at least in all cases 'fast enough' in my experience. We travel to Italy each summer vacation - key is to find lodgings...

2022... could it be your three year free subscription has ended?

Here's my 2021 RWD - a companion for more than 90,000 kms. I love this car even more now, since it literally saved my life during a serious highway crash, and also survived the ordeal itself.

To add: my free connect subscription stopped a few months ago. No internet radio since. So, for the music fanatics (like me): if you like to listen to music in the car a lot, and use international radio stations (I listen for example daily to bluegrass stations in the US, jazz/blues in France...

Is it correct that without having Connect you cannot listen to internet radio stations?

I am close to obsessive in watching my actual consumption figures during and after any drive. Ran with regen on my MY22 RWD for six months, then changed to non-regen to compare. No change in consumption to speak of - to me, it comes down to what you like best when driving.

LOL - but you may have a point there, as this is the second time in three years the Taycan was hit by a truck. The first happened when I was slowly reversing out of a designated parking spot in the city, in front of a stationed truck with workers doing some road repairs. While I was reversing...

Thanks much Peter! Even more bizarre: when I told my story last week to a colleague (who, as I, does not live anywhere close to the crash site), he replied to my disbelief that a few years ago, at the very same highway and approximate location, his car also had been hit by a truck in a similar...

In late November I drove on the right lane of a three-lane highway, when I suddenly got hit by a commercial truck moving to the right from the middle lane, whose driver had not seen me. The impact, around my left rear wheel, turned my car sideways against the bumper of the truck, which continued...

Lost the internet radio as well since a few days - maybe a European issue? Doing a new search for the stations did not solve the problem. EDIT: issue solved - as earlier suggested, first delete all internet station favorites (write them down first...) and then search/locate them again, then add...

Got the car back, took it for a long weekend trip to Germany and all seems fine again. Dealer said a loose contact caused the red alerts after the initial repair.

I had the same, recurring issue, until finally I also started losing power while driving and the car had to be towed. Dealer replaced a defective coolant pump. After picking it up the car drove fine for about an hour and then the red alert came up again. After a few days of these warnings it's...

During the coldest days the rattling fan noise in my car even drowned out the radio. When the car got a 30K service, the dealer informed me they replaced the entire control panel unit. So it seems that an easy fix for this issue is not available..

Sorry to hear that... my 2021 RWD was towed away a few days ago after breaking down on the freeway, now waiting for a diagnosis. It started with repeated electronic error warnings like yours about a month ago, but those only led to the steering wheel and seat heating functions being disabled...

That is the way to go for me as well. I did the same during my years with a Tesla. BTW, thanks to the OP for the interesting exercise! About 'ignoring the PCM antics': it has happened a few times that after entering the charge destination as suggested by ABRP in the PCM (for preheating), the...

Caveat about the Allego chargers - I returned last week after a week's vacation in the Alsace region. The 350kw Allego chargers at Aire de la Bruche off the A355 yielded a shameful 30Kw on the two separate days I visited. I never experienced such disappointing scores when using Ionity. Since...

I neither understand the hate regarding one pedal driving. I never found that uncomfortable during my five years in a Model S. I think Tesla did a very good job there. For no real reason, I tend to be overly focused on energy consumption with my RWD - maybe because I have the standard battery...

I said before I that I hate the standard audio. Spent three hours in a loaner today with the Bose system. More power, better, more dimensional sound, gone are the grating trebles that hurt my eardrums. But - certainly not $1,400 or so better. It is adequate, but I had expected more. Porsche (or...

Not necessarily, you can buy the entire population of Seychelles (95K) a box of Skittles for the price of a base Taycan.
