So I'll be the contrarian here - I think as battery pack upgrades emerge - the Gen 1 Taycan is going to look better and better over time - the design is *much* cleaner in front. By the end of the 1st duty cycle of batteries (10 - 15 years from new), I suspect we will have significant...
I'm curious - with the US moving from CCS1 to NACS, do you think it becomes feasible to take a RoW Taycan and bring it to the US using a CCS2 to NACS Adapter?
I'm seeing regular 45 -50C days in the UAE - I'm honestly shocked it's as good as it is. I park under shades or underground, but when driving Abu Dhabi -> Dubai or Abu Dhabi -> Al Ain it's very comfortable.
Sort of seems to me that the easy solution here is to (a) figure out your charging rate, (b) calculate how long it takes to charge from your typical arrival SoC (25%) to your desired SoC (80%) and (c) set the timer to be ready at 8pm + time calculated. BTW - if the system can't reach the...
I think you didn't understand me...my normal driving in Houston is 220 mi between full and gas-light (about 14 gal) - that's 15 mpg (turbo breaths, turbo drinks). The only times I did better than this were on long road trips, where I would normally see close to 30 mpg (driving to New Orleans)...
Through 14,000+ miles on my Carrera T, only 3x have I gotten more than 220 miles on a tank...yep, those were the 30+ mpg road trips.
Around town, my normal routine in Houston, a Taycan is perfectly comparable in terms of range.
And here in Abu Dhabi - same thing. My normal usage is 40 -...
This can happen to anything...I lost my MDX years ago to a piece of scrap rebar on I-10. Hit it at night at 65 MPH and it cracked the crankcase, split my transmission in two, pierced the rear differential, and blew out a tire. My son and I were lucky to be able to pull it off the road under...
Hi Everyone -
Interesting issue with my new (980 Km) Taycan 4s...
Today I was leaving the underground garage...the car was in its lowest setting when I turned it on (had left it in Normal/Medium). I double checked I was in Normal mode, I set it to lift, and it did so while I drove out of the...
