@daveo4EV Why do you need "to use the app to start a session"? Is it a model year difference? (mine is a MY21)
I am able to pull into a station, turn off the vehicle., close the doors, plug in the cable, and .... charging starts. This has worked at EA stations from San Francisco to LA.
Only...
I had originally optioned quite conservatively. Then my wife said, “You may be buying your last car. Check all.” So I did. Never look back. Just drive it and love it. I have NEVER thought, “I should have bought a Tesla.”
The only option that I have not benefited from is InnoDrive. But that is...
Great write up, @tchavei. I'm in the Golden Visa program (application in queue) so really nice to hear that it's possible to traipse around Portugal in a Tycan - even at the peak of EV charging demand!
IMHO, you should go with the Plaid. You’ll never be satisfied with a Taycan given your focus on stats and will always be looking over your shoulder at some higher stat. The Taycan is for driving - a stat that doesn’t come with a number … something only you can take the measure of by how it makes...
Thanks for posting @CLF1 . I've only logged 13,000 miles. I get satisfaction every day - whether a 2 mi trip to the pool, or one of the "Taycan Trips" my wife and I take on a weekend now and then. Such a pleasure to drive.
Are you sure you want the car to turn off by itself just because you opened the door? That is not a feature I would want. Too many time that I need to pop open the door for few seconds or minutes. If the car turned itself off I would be annoyed - especially with the PCM startup time.
My 2021...
just make sure your front wheels are pointing straight before releasing the brake...
And there's a bit of a head rush as the blood in your brain pools in the rear of your cranium
I frigging LOVE the PPF. I did the whole car and would do it again the same way.
See this set of posts for detailed description..
Now, 12,000 miles and 18 months later, I appreciate the PPF even more.
The car always looks clean
The finish has a deep "luster"
No chips or dings (despite...
Rear wheel steering is an absolute joy: precision and tight turns. Excellent.
Thermally/noise-insulated glass: a must-have if you drive on the highway. It makes the Burmester worth every penny.
Innodrive: in the U.S., around San Francisco, daily driving works too well, dropping speed to posted...
@whitex
I wasn't referring to the SuncoastParts.com aftermarket lugs. I was referring to the lugs that come with the Taycan. One can buy a socket that fits the Taycan stock lug, which looks like this:
Yes, there is normally a minor hum like all electric vehicles have, that cannot be turned off; however, the “audio engine” is distinct and of greater volume and can be enabled/disabled or programmatically associated with each drive mode (Normal, Sport, Sport Plus, Individual)
The lost Burmester...
ciaranob, thanks for the write up. I generally follow a similar path. A couple of exceptions:
Right Diamond: Sound on/off. I use the sound in parking lots to alert pedestrians then turn it off.
Multi-display: This had been my most used as my car has Burmester audio. The multi-display...
You are ahead of the game since the SUV driver has USAA and the police report ID’s that driver as at fault. USAA is a stand up org. I’ve had USAA insurance for 40 years.
Reinforcing here an earlier comment regarding notifying your own insurance company. In previous experiences, USAA (as my...
