    Ridiculously conservative EPA numbers

    Not as I did. I'm thinking (on Sunday) of doing the ride again from 85%. And sticking it in Range mode the entire time, and seeing if I can get there and back on 85%... I suspect it'd be a little too close for comfort :cool:

    Ridiculously conservative EPA numbers

    ...38% remaining. Surely this would be enough. SatNav said "no". My son recommended simply turning the SatNav off and winging it. Now I normally follow the principle of not paying too much attention to my son's suggestions, but in the case he was correct. Range mode off (70mph is too...

    Ridiculously conservative EPA numbers

    So... Last Sunday my son (10) begged me to take him skiing. We live in West LA, 125 miles from Big Bear (which is also the top of a mountain). I agreed. And we drove, mostly on the freeway to Snow Summit in Big Bear. 125 miles. 41% remaining when we got to the slopes. Four hours of (slightly...

    Flat Tire in Carmel!

    I did! I have been in contact with Dave over personal email - I should have updated the thread to show my appreciation for him there

    Flat Tire in Carmel!

    Yesterday, my wife and I were driving in Carmel, CA on Highway 1 when we hit a pothole at about 50mph, and got that sudden sinking feeling as the front tire started to rapidly deflate. Fortunately (very fortunately) we were close to a driveway, and we were able to pull in away from the flow of...

    Stuck in Big Sur, no charger!

    Help! I'm at the Post Ranch Inn in Big Sur, CA. The hotel told me that they had electric vehicle charging, but it turns out they only have Tesla. There is a 110 volt outlet at the hotel, but I don't have enough charge to get to Monterey or Carmel (where there is fast charging), and Amazon is...

    How to set to profile to only charge to 85%

    Hi, In my Settings, Charging, Profiles there is a setting for the percentage it should reach as fast as possible (25%), but no "maximum" charge option. My understanding is that I should aim for 85% maximum charge in day-to-day operation, but there doesn't seem to be a choice for that, and it...

    Can I use both charging ports at the same time?

    OK. I suspect the answer to this is "of course not, don't be stupid", but what would happen if I plugged J1772 connectors into both side of my Taycan simultaneously: (1) with both getting just level 1 - i.e. 110v/8amps current level (2) with both getting level 2 - 240v/30amps current level Has...

    How many screen presses to log in...

    So. I get in my Taycan (love my Taycan). And I turn it on. The big center screen comes on. I now have two choices: 1.. Log in as me, which means that I need to click (from memory) - Switch User - Choose "Robert" - Type in my PIN - Tap Enter - Sometimes repeat for no entirely obvious...

    Do I need to enter my PIN to charge?

    So... I'm using Porsche Mobile Connect (which is fine). But it doesn't charge my Taycan unless I enter my PIN. Why? And can this be disabled?

    Why does my Porsche charger top out at 8 amps?

    Thanks guys - I have a proper outlet being installed next week, so this is a (very) short term problem

    Why does my Porsche charger top out at 8 amps?

    So, I have the standard Porsche mobile connect charger, which is plugged in to a standard 110 volt wall outlet. I am allowed to select a charging rate up to 8 amps, but no higher. I'm confused by this, as I'm pretty sure that the standard maximum amperage draw is around 25 - for the electric...
