Terrific write-up. You put a lot of effort into it so thanks for sharing!

What a great thread to open up! Have enjoyed seeing other car histories and going down memory lane with mine. Can't remember every single one of the vehicles I've had, but here are some I particularly enjoyed owning.. Second car I ever owned (nobody, including me, wants a reminder of car...

18,000km in 7 months before putting up for the winter. Now I can’t wait for April. Every drive has put a big goofy grin on my face. In 45 years of driving and 50+ cars, have never owned a vehicle I love more than my 4S. I know other people’s experiences have not been as rosy. Various...

If this is eventually for real, swapping immediately. Love my 4s but the coupe is OMG.

Thank you for posting about your road trip, Tigerbalm. Great read. Did much of the same route you described through Scotland a couple of years ago, in an ICE Audi. Would like to do again in an EV!

Thank you for taking the time and effort to put that report together. A good read.

Mine are 21”. Had them painted gloss black to go with optioned black window trim. It’s all subjective but I like how the car looks overall with the larger wheels.

Ponomo, your answer may be in your own words: you’re “not a speed junky“ nor do you plan to take it to the track. It so happens I was able to have a long test drive with the Turbo version and a second weekend-long test drive with a 4S. I wound up going with the 4S for a simple reason: the...

Greetings from Canada - I’m 6’2” and in my early sixties. Have found no problems with ingress and egress, although it did take a bit of getting used to after driving a Cayenne for six years. My Taycan 4S is a daily driver and it makes me giddy every time I get behind the wheel. Like some...

Gorgeous. But I might be biased.

Hmm, that has not been my experience so far. But will try it without preferred charge times and see what happens. Thanks for the feedback.

Here is the setup I’ve been using since April. Until recently, it stopped at 80% even if the charging plug was still attached to the car (i.e. not unplugged inside 30 mins after the 80% level was reached). It’s only since the software upgrade that the car continues to charge past the 80%...

Recently had a software update at the dealership and since then, can’t seem to put an upper limit on battery charging level. Pre-update, setting the “minimum” limit on the battery to 80% stopped it there on any level 2 charger. But every charge (other than direct charging) since then has not...

Such a great thread! Look forward to the next installment. Thanks for posting.

Have read all the posts in this thread. Astonished at some of the issues Taycan owners are having. Makes me wonder if I’m luckier..? (Doubtful as I’m the kiss of death if I bet on any team in any sport). My vote was “exceeded expectations”. If there was a box to check for “over the moon” I’d...

Had a Model X for four years along with a Cayenne Diesel. No interest in keeping the X or in any other Tesla model, ever. The many issues with Teslas in general have been well-documented here and on other forums. Traded the Cayenne on a new custom build Taycan 4S with performance battery (and...

Super interesting report. Have 6,000km on my 4S (21“ rims) in ten weeks of ownership and every charge appears to result in a slightly higher available range as almost all of the trips are on highways. One charge to 95% indicated 454km range (288mi). Most charging done to 80% and have found it...

Are you using the PMCC to charge at home, plugged into a 240v outlet? If so, I can tell you I had the same issue with interrupted charging a couple of times after having a 240v outlet installed outside my home. As you likely know, the amount of charge the PMCC sends to the car is scalable. I...

(Apologies to Gene Kelly) Few public chargers have canopies above them, or indeed any form of shelter from the environment. Has anyone had to charge their car in the rain? Any issues, especially at a 350Kwh charging station? Seems like a lot of electricity flowing in a highly-conductive...

Sums it up perfectly. Had a Tesla X for four years and it pushed me away from Tesla forever. Build quality issues, software issues, ergonomic issues. It accelerated pretty quickly but the back end rattled like a giant sack of marbles every time. And that's just the start of the irritations...
