  1. Real world range

    After plenty of UK experience - 250 miles? In the Summer, yes (as long as you're not flooring it regularly), but in the Winter, no chance.
  2. Latest Taycan Software Update Findings and Reviews Thread

    Agreed - I had the same issue where the car was borderline dangerous in that the brakes would lose nearly all bite unless you stomped on them at low speed. No consistency as you gradually slow down. Bleeding the brakes solved the issue.
  3. PCM problem after latest update -- display screen went blank and it only shows that it is "searching"

    Same here - since the update, I've had the PCM shut down on me about half a dozen times when driving. It usually then reboots itself after between one and three minutes. Never happened pre-update.
  4. PCM Update new manual?

    Congrats on the update (I hope!). Yes, they are meant to give you the 2022 manual if you have a 2020 or 2021 car.
  5. Low quality on board charger

    You know what, I was one of those absolute sceptics replying to the old post on this. However after two years, my 2020 decided to throw up the red ring of death electrical failure last week. No fire, but it triggered the fuse on my EVSE which is on a separate circuit to the house. Flat bed...
  6. Do fixed sunroofs have drains?

    ...yep, even when you don't have the pano roof!
  7. What mileage are you getting?? I’m disappointed…

    It's probably due to the short journeys. If you only drive 15-30 miles at a time you get the downside efficiency of the car getting the cabin up to temp, the battery warming up etc, without benefitting from the upside once that's all been completed. If you drive longer trips with the average...
  8. Solar Charging

    Been doing this for about two years now and no discernible issues with the battery yet! Nothing like the self-satisfied feeling you get after a good day’s solar charging.
  9. Goodbye for now!

    Love the new ride. Sorry to see you go, but have fun.
  10. Range ~ Any tips to increase range?

    209 is about right for this weather. I'm currently getting 200-210 miles over longer journeys (50 miles plus) in real terms (i.e. ignoring the PCM range estimate and going off battery % per miles driven). I have managed to eek out around 230 miles in the cold when I've had to by ensuring I'm...
  11. ? PCM 6 Update Announcement [Update: Retrofit Being Explored For Existing Taycans]

    Yup, and given that the last time they did a software update of this nature, cars (including mine) just started switching off in the middle of the highway, I think they are going to be cautious before rolling out an update to existing cars. Hope they do it eventually, but as much as I like...
  12. De-Mist or Do-Mist?

    Agree with all of that. Just FYI when I first got the car, in the Winter months I was having to punch the front windscreen de-mist quite regularly in the middle of driving - more so than any other car I have driven. However, now, during the Winter I make sure that all vents are pointed towards...
  13. Can you preheat the battery?

    So from my experience in UK temperatures with the car in the garage, any preheating of the battery is just a side effect of charging - i.e. preheat only works (timer or no timer) if you are actually charging. The battery heats up a little more with the timer since it is also working to heat the...
  14. Merry Xmas

    Have a Merry Taycaning Christmas everyone (Pozuelo, I think I owe you for copyright infringement)
  15. First cold snap of the year...just watch that range tumble!

    I think Range mode is a complete ruse. It just stops you accelerating like a rocket and restricts maximum speed to 85mph (90mph if you're using the Sat Nav). If you drive the car in normal in the same way - i.e no rapid acceleration manoeuvres and keeping speed below 90mph, the consumption is...
  16. Preheating when charger plugged in Question

    Yeah, the timer functions on the car are totally unintuitive. So, if you want it to pre-heat in the morning but not charge the battery, set the battery target on the timer to less than the actual charge in the battery, and set a profile as well that means that the car won't charge to more than...
  17. First cold snap of the year...just watch that range tumble!

    Also getting massive hits to range at the moment, but really depends on battery temp. PB+. Outward journey of 60 miles recently after heating the battery to 24C used up 26% of the battery. Coming back the next day, the battery was only at 14C, and the return leg (in otherwise similar...
  18. Road Trip Tanked Estimated Range

    Gottit, thanks. Keep us updated, Would be interesting if it is a wheel misalignment .
  19. Road Trip Tanked Estimated Range

    One thing I've noticed having recently taken a number of trips where I drive one way, park for an hour then drive back the same way is that if you switch the car off for that hour, it seems to reset everything, so you're back to super high consumption for the first part of the return leg, even...
  20. Strange Apple Music/Apple Podcast log on behavior

    I had the same problem, but last week eventually managed to get it to work.. Try this - logon to Apple Music, then actually start playing a playlist or track. While it is playing, then try logging on to Podcasts using the QR code. You then can start playing something on Podcasts, and when you...
