I have a 2022 highly specc'd 4S and was recently given a 2023 base model RWD as a loaner whilst my car was in for maintenance. The difference in ride and quietness was night and day with the 4S trouncing the base RWD. I'm another that hasn't really had any issues with CarPlay as well.
Bottom...
It is quite possible. The loaner they gave me was a 2023 model and the 2025 model is a bit quicker, although still slower than a 2022 4S. It looks like they have made some of what were options standard now on the base model.
A RWD with all of the options I have on my 4S might have been fine...
I'm sure it handles well without, but better with. I don't track cars, never have and probably never will. But I do know that recently I had the opportunity (read was given) a RWD Taycan that basically had all standard equipment except for 21" Wheels and the door lights. My 2022 Taycan 4S has...
On my 4S it came with the premium package. I was able to remove it by deselecting the Premium package then retaining everything except the panoramic roof. That would have been a no-go for me if I couldn't have removed the glass roof. I really really don't like them ;)
My sympathy to you Derek. However, this does make me happy I don't like roof glass and removed it from my configuration. I shudder to think what the cost would have been for the new active glass panoramic roof.
I'd don't know if you should be annoyed. But I took my Taycan in for a recall, they gave me a new Panamera loaner. I returned it two days later, when I picked up my Taycan, and there was no charge. I'm not even sure what was in the tank as I didn't fill it up and didn't bother checking. I'm...
I have the PWCC and have never used the mobile charger that came with the car. I'm just going to wait for the replacement cable, mostly so the updated mobile charger is with the car should I decide to sell it at some point.
While I don't necessarily agree with all of your points, this is the one that seems the most problematic to me. Occasional road trips aside, many, perhaps most of us, do the majority of our charging at home and the cost will vary a lot depending on the locality. In my case I live in Southern...
I'm with you. I've been using the PWCC for over a year with no issues. If you have the 19.2 Kw option on your Taycan, as I do and it seems you do as well, I feel it is a good option.
I beg to differ. I have a PWCC that I've been using over a year with zero issues. Of course I also have the 19.2 Kw option on my Taycan and it is hardwired, so no plug issues.
There were lots of discussions about if/when Tesla might open up their charging network which would require the option for max charging at a Tesla charger. I'm one of those that bought the 400v option. I mean for $460 it was insignificant compared to every other option I chose. Big upside if...
I don't have access to the WaPo article, but if it quoted the study you posted EA actually had the best functionality rate of the top three service providers tested: 73.9% for EA versus 72.7% for EVgo and 47.7% for ChargePoint.
They also mentioned that if you considered both connectors at the...
I have to agree. I've had zero issues with my car or its software other than very minor ones that have been fixed with updates. I too use Apple CarPlay extensively in all of my vehicles, it gives me a consistent interface.
🤷♂️
I read it as a presentation on how to optimize charging. On one slide it says to charge, at home, overnight to have a maximum charge when departing the next morning.
I mean the title of the article is "Ideal Charging" after all. When I read it with that context it makes perfect sense, at least...
It depends. If you have the upgraded on-board 19.2 kW AC charger option then I personally believe the Porsche Wall Charger Connect is a good choice. It will work at lower charge rates but is a fairly expensive option. I've been using mine for 18 months now without any issues. It does require a...
I have no doubt that the metrics collected by Porsche include how many people connect to their car with iOS versus Android.
As for the US stats, well, we are both in the US so I felt that was a relevant statistic. No offense to my foreign Porsche brethren but I tend to focus on the conditions...
Not in the US: Tech Republic
iOS: 62.13%
Android: 37.47%
And, according to Porsche not among Porsche owners. But I don't think that is why they aren't supporting the advanced features on Android that they plan on supporting for CarPlay. If I'm reading the article right Google does not provide...
