My bad, I meant modules. Not the individual cells. Battery packs contain modules and modules contain cells. They can check on a module basis, and replace that module. Ergo akin a refurbished battery pack. I apologise for the confusion. Edit: That they could replace certain parts of the battery...

Keep in mind, much of the depreciation in electric vehicles is influenced by consumers themselves. Logically, an EV should depreciate less because it has fewer moving parts, less wear and tear, and, with proper battery care, it can last a very long time. However, many people are overly concerned...

I hope so… prices need to drop considerably for repairs and/or warranties need to be better. I feel like they will make the battery packs easily repairable on the next gen taycan, I feel the current J1.1 and J1.2 are not going to see much improvements in repairability. Besides how else is...

It says “…replace it with a new, reconditioned or remanufactured part…” So once again; Why doesn’t the new battery have the original 8 year warranty? It’s new… For the “remanufactured” or “reconditioned” part, I can understand the lesser warranty, just like with the Porsche Engine Rebuild...

They will only replace the cells that are below the threshold, until the total unit reaches or exceeds the threshold. So basically if you have 9 cells at 70% and one at 60%, they would just replace that single cell with a new one (if you are lucky) or with a spare cell (used?) that would be 70%...

To me it seems normal? The lift is probably due to a Smart Lift location saved near by. All the other settings do revert when you turn off the car. Only individual settings will stay saved.

Honestly the more power + 4-wheel drive + rear-axle steering is worth the 4k if you ask me. I would go for the 4S, if you have no specific preference for color. Edit: I see it also has the Bose. So for sure the 4S is better bang for buck.

This is in combination with the Bose or Burmester?

No idea but the torque is significantly higher on the 25 model. And the base non-boost HP is higher as well. It seems they have tweaked to make the motors faster even when they have on-paper less HP. Goes to show HP is not everything I guess

According to ClaudeAI and cross checked with other AI's: The horse on the Ferrari logo, known as the "Cavallino Rampante" (Prancing Horse in English), has an interesting origin story. It comes from Francesco Baracca, a famous Italian fighter pilot during World War I. Baracca used to paint a...

Maybe a silly question, but if your wife already has a Macan, why not use the Macan to ferry the kids instead of the Taycan? This way you wont need to get another car. Edit: If you looking to change car then maybe trading in the ICE Macan for the new electric Macan could be an option?

@Maelstrom Just got me thinking, make sure they show you the bottom of the car when you are going to pick it up. Make sure it is flawless. Just imagine them (accidentally) putting a dent in the bottom during their joyride and at your next service you are in this mess again…

Not at all. The car should be at the dealership, and any drives should be authorized. It’s definitely strange if it’s sitting in a regular residential neighborhood. Save the screenshots and keep an eye on it if it moves. Continue taking screenshots of its locations, and then ask about it when...

From what I understand, the Active Ride system is so advanced that it could entirely replace the air suspension. However, the air suspension was kept in place to help reduce the power consumption of the Active Ride system. The Active Ride system can lift the car higher than the standard “lift”...

Cheap tires are often terrible, which is why they're inexpensive. Now, imagine putting cheap tires on a heavy EV—that's just asking for trouble. I would never put cheap tires on an expensive car, especially not on an EV, and certainly not on a Porsche. At that point, you're risking your life and...

Oh I didnt know! I could ask indeed.

That is true. I have found 3 seperate Youtubers using the exact same vehicle. But that scares me a bit. How badly abused will it be? o_O For sure I will make them inspect the bottom plate. Not in the mood for 40k repair…

Yes! I’ve decided that after my test drive with the PAR, if I feel indifferent about the suspension and the Turbo S is still available, I’ll probably go for the Turbo S. However, if I’m impressed with the PAR, then I’ll choose the 4S. The Turbo S is quite a flex, but the power of the new 4S is...

Enjoy! Many safe miles! You feel any difference in the suspension over the outgoing model? The new air suspension has been physically changed a bit.

But I find it strange that a 250k car loses 80k in 4 months and 10k KM…
