    Anyone averaging around 209 miles on 85% charge on Taycan Turbo?

    205mi estimate at 85% for me. I average about 2.9mi/kwH, so it's pretty spot on.

    Taycan 4S - 1 year later: owner's feedback / review

    Nice summary! We usually see all the problems people report, but in general the car majority have a mostly problem free ownership experience. :cool:

    Appear to be B Pillar rattles

    I had a similar issue. The dealer ended up taking the driver's side B pillar apart and adding extra sound proofing material. It's quieter now, but on really rocky pavement I can hear some rattles.

    Taycan Turbo - the most problematic car I've ever owned - by far!

    Sounds like a lemon. I've definitely had my issues, but nothing persistent. I take it there's no Lemon / buy back protection in UK?

    Should I even buy another EV?

    Sorry to hear about the troubles. Hopefully they've provided you with a loaner at the very least. Like everything else, EVs will have trouble, the biggest being maturity of infrastructure and support. ICE cars typically have a much broader supply chain and knowledge base for repairs so you...

    "Walmart’s Planned DC Fast Charging Network Could Be Game Changing" - Article

    The more chargers the better! I can definitely say that without EA I wouldn't generally head to Walmart, but, we've stopped by several times in the last year while waiting for charging. All things considered, having mostly 50kw DCFC would be sufficient and gives folks time to run into the...

    Charging @ Public EA Station 2020 Taycan Turbo

    You can go into My Porsche. Tap Maps -> Charging -> Select Charging Station -> Select Pedestal. From there you'll be able to initiate the free charging for the station the car is plugged in to. Something of note, I do find it less reliable than Plug and Charge. You might need a few tries to...

    So what are the 2024 changes?

    Same here. Then I realized, it's more likely to not even be available to purchase then add portable A/C functionality 😅

    Electrify America: Comments on CALeVIP 2.0 and the Golden State Priority Project Implementation

    Probably raising the bar to limit competition. I can see them asking for a gradual ramp up of the requirements (or just pay the fines / fees), such as having at least 1 charger working (even with reduced functionality and charged rates) make a specific charge site be 'online and available'...

    EV credit denied ?

    I had a similar conversation with my accounting for a Rivian pre-order. His understanding is that even if you still haven't taken delivery of a vehicle, 2022 tax returns can be amended for the tax credit once you do. However, to fall under the old rebate transition rules, the Binding Agreement...

    Long trips in Taycan seats - comfort / ergonomics?

    I have the 14-way seats and used it for a few 2-3 hour trips. Very comfortable and no fatigue.

    Spotify Login

    The Spotify app is a big headache to be honest. Took me a bit to get the login set up on the car. Even using it, it will keep bouncing back between the app and Android Auto or just buffer / not play. It feels like it's confusing itself between the app on the car, Android Auto, and whatever my...

    Launch control very impressive

    It's quite fun and adds some theatre to the experience. Just need to make sure to seat back and put your head against the headrest.

    CPO Taycans... Does free charging continue on as well?

    The three years of free charging follows the car and set up as annual subscriptions that renews the second and third year. You do need to make sure the car is properly transferred to you in My Porsche as the plan shows up there.

    Long term Taycan owners: Are you still enjoying the car every day? Does it still feel special?

    Still pretty happy with Taycan and don't regret not getting a Turbo S over Turbo. My real problem is not getting enough drive time. I work from home and we end up using our ICE pickup truck for Bay Area / LA trips and most errands (Wife's garden always needs something).

    Rock Chips

    Good catch! Wrong unit of measurement. mils instead of mms.

    Depreciation

    Prices for all cars are dropping fast due to increased supply and interest rates. Slowest for highly desirable cars (sporty manual transmission cars for example). Collectible cars are a different matter all together. I expect the Taycan to hold up decently as an EV, though not at all expecting...

    Rock Chips

    I have PPF on my car and a few chips in the film itself, one looks pretty close to making it all the way through. Not something that can be helped unfortunately. Driving any car give you opportunities for rock chips. If you do go for PPF it will be thicker than a color wrap. The difference is...

    6.9% finance rate jumped to 10.9%!!

    Yikes! That is a huge rate hike. It's manufacturer dependent. I've have experiences rates locked to the lower of current market vs. rates at the time of order. We were offered 0.9% (rates at time of order August 2021) for our most recent car when market rates were 4-5% (Nov 2022) or so in the US.
