My 2021 4S has been bulletproof, no issues. I wouldn't consider keeping it without approved warranty though .

Although I'm not an expert, I believe that the BMS handles charging and if you were to install a 120kwh battery in the taycan (eg in 2030, when batteries are denser, cheaper and lighter), charging power would essentially be the same. But using a canbus translator to "trick" the bms into thinking...

The real question for me is, whether such independent EV shops will be able to swap the battery for a bigger and newer chemistry one after 2030, when price per kwh will be like $50. Maybe doable with a can bus translator? Theoretically, the taycan's modular design should make this a possibility...

Generally, my experience with the taycan is that its SoC calculations when car is sitting are off. For example, I've noticed it might lose up to 6% SoC in the first miles driven. Other times, it sits undriven for two weeks and loses 0% SoC. Not a problem with continuous drive though, it never...

Fun fact: my oem 21s are like 3% off, even when correctly chosen through the Pms. My 20s are spot on (again, when correctly chosen through the pms). guess I'll need to have dealership do a correction on my next maintenance appointment

Haven't ever tried 19s, but they must be even comfier than 20s. How much difference I can't tell though. as per the Porsche website, difference in range is small between 19 and 20 though, plus you can get A efficiency rated tyres on the 20s (eg hankook ion evo, available in 20 and 21 size with...

truth be told, the looks of the 21s can't be beaten; I'm running 6 months on the 20s and 6 months on the 21s per year. My conclusion is that if you use the taycan as a daily, better stick with 20s (better range, comfort, less prone to bump damage, less noise); if you mainly use the taycan as a...

Have both 21 and 20 sets on my 2021 4s. Range is better on 20s and they are quiter, comfier and less prone to bump damage. 21s win on looks though

interesting that the taycan BMS can do that... if that's the case, I guess the modular design of the taycan (which isn't available for most electric cars manufactured after around 2023, since they are going with a non-modular cell to chassis or cell to pack design) means that once warranties are...

I'm not sure WTD4 is the same as WSH4, but can't be certain. It's interesting though that this note acknowledges that the battery is different accross cars within the same J1.1 generation. I always had the impression that all J1.1 cars have the same spec battery.

Got mine today too. No visible difference - I guess it is a deeper battery analysis software, checking even slight millivolt differences across cells

and I've just googled it for U.S.A: have a look at the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975; I believe it states pretty much the same thing as the European block exemption regulation.

I've seen this question across many posts; I don't have information about other parts of the world, but I can say with absolute certainty that in the European Union countries there is absolutely no problem with using non-NF0 rated tyres, or even servicing the car outside of the dealer network -...

I am not that knowledgeable around electricity, but I believe that the real question is how many amps a charger can support. The matter is mainly relevant for 400volt cars - some 150kw chargers for example may only be able to provide 200amps, which would make a 400volt car charge at less than...

mine had the heater problem before I bought it; luckly no 22kw charger on mine and therefore no problems there. Now whether all J1.1 taycans prove to have a defective battery only time will tell... let's just hope that Porsche doesn't leave anyone uncovered if they fact battery problems after...

you say 1 out of 5 or even 1 out of 4 taycans have or will have a battery problem - that is in deed scary, as it would mean 20,000 - 30,000 cars. The car's already been around for almost 7 years; I have signicant reservations about whether the number of affected cars is really that big (20 or...

a number of cars across different brands (Porsche, Jaguar, chevy bolt etc) was plagued by the LG torn anode tab problem; mainly manufactured between 2018 and 2021. After 2022 the problem appears to have been sorted out; a cell may fail anyway, not because of the LG manufacturing issue, but for a...

maybe things are different in the U.S. than Europe. In Europe, if you follow this link https://warranty.porsche.com/de/de-DE, it takes you to a webpage where you enter your VIN and name and you can buy up to 3 years of extended warranty, if you already have valid approved warranty; without...

Guys, there's a common misconception about what the high-voltage (HV) battery warranty actually covers. For mostEVs on the market today, the standard warranty states: "8 years/100,000 miles that the battery retains at least 70% capacity." This does not imply a full, unconditional replacement...

I have a 21' set of taycan exclusive wheels, plus a 20' set of sport aeros on my 4S. I can honestly say that the 20' wheels have almost 8-10% better range. Also a better ride and quite less prone to kerbs; plus, the tires last longer. In addition the car feels a bit faster acceleration-wise...
