I'm not sure if it is cheesy or not, but it brings a smile to my face and those I pass on the road. ZIPDUDA

When I drive at 75-80 mph in 30 degree ambient temperature for an hour , the battery temp rises from 45 to 60 degrees or more. Another hour and it rises a similar amount.

I get the same numbers for loss of range in cold temperatures, but I have a question. Why can't the Taycan pre-heat the battery while connected to the utility/charger? Would that make a difference? I believe Tesla's can pre-heat the battery.

That may be better than mine. People ask me what's a Tuesday Thursday Doctor?

Consumer Reports strongly recommends winter tires for those driving in snow country. I wish I had the option of summer tires when my 4S came with all-season tires. Finally, make sure you get tires designed for EVs. The weight of the car and other issues make that a must if you want the tires to...

Thanks for that data. Have you recorded anything similar when the battery is preheated? The one time Iooked at my data, battery starting at 48 degrees F, ambient temp high 30s F, a 125 mile trip at 75-80 mph used the equivalent of 155 miles of range.

Staples offers an aftermarket adapter so you can add a pencil.

Thanks. I also charge above 80% only when necessary.

Thanks.

I charge at home with a 40 amp charger. If my battery is say at 25% of capacity, the charge rate is .4mi/minute. Sometime during the charge it slows to .3mi/min. I expect that as the battery nears 90 or 100% it will slow further. Does anyone have a graph of the charge rate vs battery...

After receiving an email to schedule the software update, I went online and made an appointment. The site asked for a 4 hour block of time so luckily, I asked for a loaner. Why luckily? When I showed up today for the appointment, the service advisor told me "it may take a few days". Why...

I am not a finance guy but I was able to borrow the entire purchase amount from Fidelity using assets in my investment account as collateral. The assets greatly exceed the purchase price. My advisor negotiated a bit and I pay 2 % plus the US federal funds rate (.25%) . One thing to understand...

I'm not them but I'll find a nice, safe spot and give it a go, and another and another.

New Hampshire. Looking forward to driving in the snow. It comes with all-season tires, that might be a mistake.

Per my Porsche salesman, my 2021 4S is due for delivery "around Christmas" .

I got a Taycan logo wireless cell phone charger :). It works about the same as the 12 v battery LOL.

My cherry metallic is coming Dec 2020. Black/chalk interior. Can't wait!

Hi Austin_Yeah Baby, I just wanted to thank you for posting the colors that will be available with next year's model. I deferred my order (days to spare) until next year so I can get Cherry. You saved me much angst had I seen the Cherry only after I was already locked in. Much appreciated.
