The above are the proper steps, make sure the other key is far far away, and test switching back and forth a few times. I've set this up twice and the car has lost the linkage to the key within 2-5 days and stopped switching profiles and seat settings. I've given up and now just have my seat...

lol, if you think that's complex you should see AMG's system for management of the parameters using their steering wheel controls and how you can configure them however you want

That's exactly what the sport chrono dial does, adjust all those parameters at once for range, sport, sport+ and individual modes.

The system is not "hands free" it's more like "keep your hands on the wheel and relax to just instinctual driving inputs" as the best way to describe it. Let your hands put mild steering inputs in as you would if actually lane keeping, and it'll keep the system happy. They don't have to be...

We have that exact spec, dolomite over red and love it!

Lots of people say they charge to 85% (or some other percentage) on trips. I've found it's often a lot faster to do shorter more frequent stops where you only charge while the rate is above 180kw and move on when the charge rate starts to drop. Plug in, start at 250kw plus, and then use 180kw...

Exactly, the 1-2 times a year we have a really fast turn around where there's a limited amount of time and more range is needed then 9-11kw for a few hours can can provide, we just hit a DC fast charger for 5-7 minutes and problem solved.

I can't believe they "ruined" the Mission E's. (The wife immediately veto'd getting them on our next Taycan after seeing just the above picture) As to the person asking if they'd work with the CC brakes, the configurator does allow a Turbo S with CC brakes to have these "Mission E(rrors)" as...

It is interesting to see the hate spewed towards people like Kyle. When I do get annoyed with his format, length, or selection of subject for his videos I just remind myself that it's his business and livelihood, and he's working the youtube algorithms to make income. If it's that annoying I...

Continuing the discussion about front end design, what I found interesting is that in Gen 1, the only way to get the body colored pieces on the lower front splitter area was to get a Turbo model, even with the sport design package they were still all black. It now looks like the sport design...

For a minute I thought it was one of the BC forged designs, but there isn't one that matches the angular dishing in the center cap area. Closest I found was: BC Forged KL11 but is has a smoother profile near the center bore.

I think there's a safety feature where if the car isn't in drive or reverse, you can push the button once and it will move fully to the new position. But if in a drive mode, you have to push and hold for safety reasons so you can quickly release the button and stop the motion if it's affecting...

I'll have to go back and try and get this working again in ours. I did the whole "keep one key 50' away" and switch back and forth until it was properly picking up the profile and setting the seat location to the correct key. That lasted about 5 days and now it still goes to the correct...

I'd test drive, as seat preference seems really subjective person to person. As a data point we wanted the massage function so got the 14 way and we couldn't be happier. We've cranked out 8-10 hour days on road trips and think they're really comfortable. I've tried the 18 way and found them...

I'd think that one consideration would be this: " ..can do 300 miles of distance at highway speeds, and has 800v charging speeds, has my mind wondering since half my Taycan driving is long distance highway driving. " If it takes twice as much battery to get near 300 miles range, then your...

In Seattle's weather we have no problem with this year round with the Conti All season tires it came with stock on the 21" Mission E's. I think we've experienced it maybe twice in 18 months on slick cement parking lots. We do lots of full lock turns getting in/out of our driveway and our...

Annoyingly twice. We have zero problems in daylight, but parking at night in the dark and heavy rain we get in Seattle, the side cameras just don't show enough. It'll kinda look like you're clear in what you can see, and then the grunch. Luckily we have a great wheel repair guy who is mobile...

Mark another one for bought outright and will extend the warranty and keep for a while.

Nothing to "diagnose." The original heaters, all 9 revisions of them that were built before Feb 2023, fail every 12-24 months on average. My last failure was 11/7/2022. That replacement failed 11/9/2023. Luckily the dealer had one of the new design post 2/23 heaters in stock and put that...

Thanks for exploring things like this and reporting on the results. It's a great feedback loop for us all to avoid oddities caused by a small piece of plastic in the future.
