Wasn't subject to this particular recall but an update is being applied nonetheless so it was worth the visit.

Wow, you're so full of shit. Did that nice little tantrum make you feel better about yourself? Not that I owe you an explanation, but I reached out to Porsche dealership same day. It's not a problem with the battery at all. It's a software issue that can be solved with some patch on their...

I don't have a attached garage. I park in the gated, underground garage of a condo community. Although I guess, technically, that does count as attached? In any case, I don't plug in at night in this garage, although I am on the waiting list for an EV charging spot. They're hard to come by...

As I mentioned in my original post: Lease renewal is around the corner. And it very well may end several months ahead of schedule when I roll into a 2025. Battery replacements, according to this forum, can often take months. This means a good fraction of balance of the lease term could be...

Specs Current Vehicle: 2021 Taycan Turbo S Delivered: June 2021 Lease Term: 42 months Miles: approx. 41,000 (yeah, I put a lot of miles on this sucker!) The dealership typically lets me cancel a few months early with no penalty if I'm rolling into a new lease. And I plan to. The Taycan TS...

I'm pretty sure this actually happened. The Taycan owner would have no reason to lie about it. I had also read about this incident prior, for that particular charging station, on PlugShare. Can't seem to find the comment now; maybe it was erased, although rating still shows as 2.3. I'll have to...

Naw, I do take off pretty hard but I rarely use launch control at all. I can only guess it's a combination of always being in SportPlus, relatively quick launches, long drives in excess of 80mph, climate control when windows are up, electric/sliding charge port increases drag. Also, I drive...

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. I could never give up Waze as my default navigation system. Combining those Waze police alerts with high-end radar/laser detection is unparalleled. Not to mention the helpful, but alarming, "Object on road ahead."

As a 2021 TTS driver, I've never once thought to myself, "This car could really use more power." I'm quite satisfied with what I have. Launch control at 750hp is already borderline whiplash; I can't imagine 1100hp. I think they just want to get their 0-60 into the 1's. My preference is that...

Interesting thought... Come to think of it, I wouldn't really care whether they call it a 911 or not. I just like the idea of having a Taycan, but in two-door form.

Oooh, I gotcha. That's a great analogy. I asked him, "But it'll be quiet, right, like the Taycan?" and he said no. Bummed me out a bit, but I think you're on to something. They're trying to create a nostalgia car, loud noise and all.

This is really interesting news. I've always viewed Apple Maps as something to be uninstalled and avoided -- like the Internet Explorer of the GPS mapping world. Maybe it's time to give it another look.

Most of this stuff doesn't really even reach the level of rumor; mainly just San Diego gossip. But I like gossip so figured I'd share with the group: EA - Coolant, Slow Charging Had a friendly chat with an EA repair dude while charging at Walmart the other day. I asked him why the output of the...

Thanks for the correction. I was trying to backfill the m/kWh values so my example would make sense. So the total available is 83kwh then, not 93. That's good to know.

Context: 2021 Taycan Turbo S with 93 kWh battery capacity. There are typically around 202 miles remaining when I charge to 100%. It's been like that for two years. So presumably my average consumption is around 2.17 miles/kWh. After a recent 500 mile road trip with chilly temperatures, a fair...

And some Nightcrawler was on the scene to get a picture of it.

I always charge to 100%, and almost always with a public DC charger. It's rare that I park the car for long periods (1 week+) with the battery pegged at 100%, but it has happened on a few occasions when I was out of town. This has been my standard operating procedure for nearly two years with...

Excellent explanation. Thank you!

Gotcha. The Taycan is my first and only EV so the feeling seems foreign to me. Presumably if I kept it on I'd grow accustomed.

Yes, I'm familiar with ICE. I actually drove nothing but 911s prior to the Taycan. (Well, my parents did give me a Toyota Cressida in my teen years but I've tried to block that era from my memory.) And indeed, I do remember downshifting with the left paddle and how it would brake the car...
