    Software update decreasing range of 4S and making the car think it is RWD with smaller battery

    I got my car back today and while the re installation of the update made no difference, in fact it decreased the range further, the advice from Germany was to run the battery very low down to about 3% and then run few tests then charging it again to 100%. They suggested that this may need to be...

    Software update decreasing range of 4S and making the car think it is RWD with smaller battery

    Thanks, I am sure you could be right, but this is really very different from previous updates experience and does not explain other issues such as the issue with the instrument cluster I will update this if and when the dealer do the software update again

    Software update decreasing range of 4S and making the car think it is RWD with smaller battery

    Thanks, I hope you are right However, my understanding is software is able to allocate buffers at the top and bottom ends and likely also influence the car efficiency, Therefore, while I hope you are right, this "indicated" range will remain a cause of concern until fixed

    Software update decreasing range of 4S and making the car think it is RWD with smaller battery

    I fully understand that. I have driven this car for 28 thousand miles. The Porsche dealer confirmed that this same issue with decreased range occurred to another Taycan following the software update which was later corrected by re-doing the software update. So it is not simply the car is...

    Software update decreasing range of 4S and making the car think it is RWD with smaller battery

    I am starting this thread to entice Porsche to take notice of this issue. I understand such issues can occur. My 2020 Taycan 4S had been flawless over 2 years and 28000 miles. After a long wait, the car had its major software update and it was not great. 1. The car instead of reporting the...

    Software update 2023

    Yes exactly what happened to me. Eventually disconnecting and reconnecting the 12 V battery removed that issue, but the car which also was perfect for the last 2 years now reports much lower range and only 5/5 options in the instrument cluster as if it thinks it is a RWD rather than 4S. very...

    Tesla Model Y drive thoughts and mini-review

    Good report I agree with you completely on the looks and again I have no idea why my wife thinks the Y looks better than the 3, but then again tastes differ. Does anybody have an opinion on the ride when the Y is used in European holidays?

    Using selected Tesla Chargers in France to charge Taycan? Why is the IOS Tesla app lack the option to charge non Tesla cars?

    Help and apologies for the long title. Essentially after the reports of the Tesla pilot opening selected chargers to non Tesla cars and several Youtube videos confirming that charging non Tesla cars actually worked in the Netherlands and Belgium using a Tesla account and app to pay for...
