Agreed, though 0-60 with launch control and Sport sound on the Taycan 4S was fun for me and occupants (just not nearly as quick as my old Tesla Model 3 AWD+ if I didn't get to engage launch control). I also couldn't stand the 2 speed transmission of my Taycan 4S which caused that awkward hiccup...

I agree mostly here, love the handling/feel (and electronic sports sound) of my Taycan 4S compared to Model 3 AWD+. I've had 20+ petrol cars but always got 5 speed or 6 speed manuals for any of my performance cars because I hate never met an automatic or dual clutch transmission I like. I...

Me 3 :). While I enjoy the Taycan 4S overall more than my Model 3 AWD+ (actually a Performance but sold as AWD in the Dec 2018 desperate Tesla push, later boosted with Ingenext 50hp+ dongle), that stupid transmission is a low point for me on the Taycan 4S (followed closely by really bad climate...

I've read, and the seat of my pants confirms by feel, that the Taycan 4S starts in 2nd gear unless you are in sport or sport + mode at which point it starts in 1st. When not in sport mode and I stomp on it, it hesitates like any auto, downshifts, then gives some good grunt but it is an awkward...

Sluggish in the sense I floor it and it doesn't immediately give me a strong push, but I have to wait for the dinosaur-paced transmission to shift before I get that... Did I say I've always hated automatic transmissions, as they almost never do exactly as I'd like? But this issue is largely...

I know it's not accurate (not was it in Tesla, Ford, or Chevy EVs I've owned) but it is the only predictor I have apart from battery % . I'll try not to obsess, but it takes near zero software intelligence to identify only a fan is running and not drop the range estimate at all. I guess that...

That's what I've been doing but it doesn't stop the heater from possibly sucking up lots of the battery unless I also turn the temp way down. Even if I turn the temp down the range-o-meter tells me just running the fan is using some 4-6% range so either the calculation for range impact is...

I must be missing something in that I can clearly change to AC/AC ECO mode or turn off AC with climate control/fans remaining on, but the range-o-meter still shows substantial drop in range with what should just be FAN on (AC off, temperature set below actual temperature in car so no heat will...

And that is one of the reasons I got the non-CT Taycan 4S with the smaller battery... The car is already way too heavy before adding the big battery, that small amount of extra range still won't make a difference for 99% of my driving, and to just have enough HP to compensate for the battery...

Having only had sEVen, my 7th EV, a Taycan 4S for 2 months, that loss upon resale is a huge factor in my view of the car. My first 3 EVs were Volt leases, VERY cheap after subsidies. My last 3 full BEVs, Tesla Model 3 AWD+, Bolt, Ford Mustang Mach E, I ended up making money on (to the tune of...

Having just given my Taycan 4S a Gyeon can coat EVO and a week later seeing how the top 2/3 of the car seems clean as the day I washed it despite 3 days of rain but all that junk behind the front wheel and on the driver door, I'm going to look into either the mesh or the foam, probably going...

Darn... I got that pen from Porsche and was going to try to put it in there. So sad... :(

I get 3.3-3.7 on my Taycan 4S on long trips with standard battery but don't do as well around town where I always drive in sport mode (though not usually racing, I just hate the sluggishness if it starts in second and the transmission delayed shift to first when I stomp on it that makes me feel...

Second try later with the app and it worked... First time the car was still plugged in, second time I started charging from the app before plugging in... Hopefully Porsche gets it's act together with updates and P&C! Also seems this is an issue related to latest Porsche Software update and...

Will try this after disabling plug and charge only in the car for a few minutes and re-enabling it first... I do not want to download a sketchy (charging NA, 1k downloads, 1.6 star rating) looking app if I don't have to but glad to know there's another option. Hopefully Porsche does some better...

So far no joy with P&C on my 2022 Taycan 4S, at chargers that did P&C just fine with my 2021 Mustang Mach E. I was able to use the app and charge at 1 of the 2 working chargers near me but it only charged at 38 Kw despite being 30% SoC ... Electrify America is pretty terrible in getting...

Thanks for the input... Just tried it from the app and it can't initiate from there either... I think Porsche hasn't updated a database somewhere yet with my data...

Just adding this so I can watch this thread ... ignore this line...

Don't suppose any of the other folks with Plug and Charge issues had that when they first got their cars? Just picked up my '22 Taycan 4S 9/1, added a credit card the my porsche account, the My Porsche App under Charging Service says "Charging Service valid. Ready for charging", and I have...

Good for them! I was shocked they allowed this behavior to persist the 3 years I owned my model 3 but glad they have finally addressed the safety issue. I suspect they still don't do any battery regeneration from using the brake pedal as perhaps they thought that blending (Chevy did it well in...
