Over the past 12 months, Colorado has done an excellent job at expanding the Level 3 charger locations throughout the state. They have most of the mountains covered, and all of the major highways. Some of the chargers in the mountains are only 62.5kW or 125kW, but considering you typically...
I'll admit, I'm very interested. I have a reservation for a Air Grand Touring (800hp and 500+ miles of range). In theory this would be faster and more luxurious than the Taycan, way better range and tech, but might not live up to the Porsche driving experience. However, as stated in the article...
I finally got around to updating the software in my 2020 Turbo S this week, and was given a 2021 Taycan RWD as a loaner. The only options are the premium package and the Turbo wheels. I've driven my Turbo S 7500 miles so it was fun to drive a different Taycan spec for the week. Here are some of...
Great news, although I would like it to happen even faster.
"Electrify America is the largest, open DC (Direct Current) Fast Charging network in the U.S. This new commitment builds on the company’s plans to have about 800 charging stations and approximately 3,500 individual chargers in the...
I have over 7k miles on my Turbo S, but I recently started trying range mode on a couple of road trips. This weekend I drove 248 miles each way across central and western Colorado. All country roads (45-65mph speed limits) with lots of elevation. Several mountain passes including Monarch pass at...
For those of you not familiar with Bjorn, he has a youtube channel where he extensively compares EV's across multiple types of tests. These include the range on a single charge, charging speed, and the most interesting, the 1000km challenge. During this test he drives the EV along a common...
My wife and I just drove our Taycan Turbo S and Audi E-tron from Colorado Springs to Phoenix (880 miles). We are headed back in a couple of weeks but I wanted to share some interesting observations during the trip.
I drove the Taycan the entire way and my wife drove the E-tron. My oldest son...
Well I just got back from an epic 5-day, 1250 mile road rally through the mountains of Colorado in the Taycan with 7 Ferrari’s and a 911 Turbo. It performed beautifully and essentially everything went to plan. I’ve come away even more impressed with the Taycan in terms of performance, luxury...
Pretty impressive it outsold the new 911. Surprised the Panamera is selling as well as it did.

The week of October 5th I'm going on a 5 day road rally through the mountains of Colorado. All backroad driving. It's organized by my brother and will include 10 Ferrari's and 1 911. I will obviously be the only electric car on the rally.
I've spent the last week or two mapping out all of the...
Reading about all of the Electrify America issues is making me nervous to take my Taycan on an upcoming road trip. So far I've charged our E-tron about 5 times using an Electrify America 150kw charger with minor issues. Every time I've been able to get one of the chargers working after a couple...
