How does the battery temp affect degradation when charging? A cold battery takes some time to warm up when charging, and the charging power is software limited until the battery warms up with DC charging.
The matrix led is awesome on dark unlit roads in conjuction with night vision. It is awesome to see how it dims individual LED units and the visibility is great. To be honest my daily driving is 100% on well-lit roads, where matrix is not used.
Ah ok. So all Cross Turismos have gravel mode, but without SC you have to activate it through the menu? Yesterday my car started with all screen black, no way to change settings. I still think the knob is the easiest way to change modes and recommend Sport Chrono unless you drive in normal mode...
This is the Taycan sedan manual, there is no mention of Gravel mode in there. I was also given the sedan manual with my Cross Turismo, apparently.
Marketing material makes me believe that CT always has gravel mode, atleast that is what is written on Porsche website.
Thanks!
The avg speed was probably something over 70km/h. ABRP suggested the same 2 stops at HPC chargers with two extra stops in between, it seems to be quite conservative in calculations.
Hakkapeliitta R3, the car drives fantastic on snow. The chargers are part of Recharge Infra, not free. Luckily there are some shopping centres nearby most, and not just McDonalds.
I drove in range mode with ECO AC, but last stint was partly in normal mode (in hindsight stupid). AIrcon set to 20C, seat heating on occasinally. Preheated the car at chaärging stops, felt mostly comfortable and also too hot occasionally if seat heating was on. Last 20 kilometers with Ac Eco...
It is a real puzzle:D 2 of them were kids snowboards that fit on the trunk floor, adult snowboard had to be put diagonally in the trunk because not able to fold seats. Boots fit in the small compartment below the trunk, and helmets in the front storage compartment.
Longest trip so far in one day, a real world ”test” of how the car can survive winter conditions.
This week we packed the CT4 with 5 people (3 adults and 2 kids), 3 snowboards (with boots and 2 helmets) and clothes for a one week trip to a Ski Resort in Ruka Lapland (Finland).
Started with a...
But then you dont have a button to easily lift the car if going on a rougher road surface (eg road construction work, gravel backroads etc.). I think it is handy. Sport mode can easily be switched with the knob in Sports Chrono, usually not in a hurry to do so unlike with gravel mode, even...
Going on a long trip (over 800km) to Lapland with small kids in the back seats. Is there a way to see if the seat heaters are on from the PCM? They tend to put them on by mistake .. and I really need all the range that I can get :D
My dealer supplied the Hakkapeliitta R3, ofcourse I’m a bit biased, but I think Hakkapeliitta is always a safe choice if you want one of the best winter tyre.
