Just for fun, a few Dragy runs in a 2023 Taycan GTS with 21" Mission-e wheels and Pirelli P0 summer tires. Battery charged to about 75%. 76F battery temp, and 55F air temp, lukewarm tires at 36/41 PSI (a bit high?) and a road surface that was dry but a bit rough and a bit dirty, so not great...

My Taycan GTS is in for an update and the battery sealing test, and I was given a base model Taycan loaner with 900 miles on the odometer. My comparison between the two might help a new buyer evaluate their options. The dealer loaner car is a base model with the larger battery, air suspension...

Imagine your battery charge level at say 40%, and you want to top up to 75% for the next leg of your journey. So you plug in to a 150kw or 350kw DC fast charger and head off to grab some lunch or do a bit of shopping. Returning a bit later, the battery is at 95% - far higher than you intended...

I'm that sort of person who never puts anything "aftermarket" on a car. So when I saw someone post about the Zunsport grill for the Taycan, I barely paid attention. But then I arrived home after a trip to find two rather large chunks of wood wedged into the front end of my Taycan GTS. I then...

About one per week, always in stop-and-go traffic, I'll hear a beep and then the backup camera window pops up. Just me or is this a known bug with the Tayan software?

To preserve battery life, Porsche recommends charging to a maximum of 85% for daily use, using 100% charges only for longer trips. This is a Lithium battery thing, not a Porsche thing, often discussed on the forum. I know quite a bit about batteries, so preserving battery capacity over time is...

I charged at the Electrify America location at Valley Fair mall in San Jose, California. I plugged in to a 150KW charger to get just a bit of charge while grabbing some lunch. The charger only output 63KW, but that was fine with me since I really only needed a top-up. I returned 38 minutes...

I made a trip driving North from the San Francisco Bay Area in California, on highways 80, 505, and 5 and then back, visiting each of the Elecrify America highway locations twice - once driving up and once driving back. This meant that I charged just a few minutes at each stop, but was able to...

My Taycan is quite new, and I charge at home, but I wanted to try out the "free for me" EA network. So after work I drove to a downtown-style EA location about a mile from the office that I almost never visit anymore. They have seven stalls, and all of them are full - including two Taycan and a...

As we all know, the Taycan uses mechanical brakes only (no regen) when new, and then starts to add-in regen braking when it decides that it wants to - the hypothesis being that it forces mechanical braking until the brakes are good and "bedded in". This happens - according to other posts -...

In no particular order, some facts and observations, with a sprinkling of opinions mixed in: I learned that options and their prices vary widely by country. The below is for US Taycans, and, as mentioned in the title, is skewed toward the GTS and specifically a White GTS, though most of the...

I would like to read and record individual cell voltages. Basically I'm curious to see how the Taycan does pack balancing, among other things. What methods are available to read the voltage of individual battery cells or, barring that, measure the delta between the higest and lowest cell...
