That guy was telling me something else. He could not even let the car roll back down the truck and into the charging spot.I drove the Tesla's multiple times below 5% but never below 2%. The range prediction on the onboard computer was extremely accurate after the first 20-30 mile adjustments
Is there a speed limitation in Turtle Mode ?Turtle mode:
Still some range left
No more range left
Car stopped in "Ready Hold"
Driving in turtle mode to my parking space with home charger...
The car did drive and operate as usual. To test this and the range in turtle mode I would need a mobile charger, which I do not have.Is there a speed limitation in Turtle Mode ?
Thank you for sharing. Few questions:The car did drive and operate as usual. To test this and the range in turtle mode I would need a mobile charger, which I do not have.
For me this was important to test, so I know the real range in regular driving. If the car says I have 10 km left, I have 10 km left. I also know, that if I run out, I do can restart and move to car to a safer place, or find a charger VERY nearby.
Using the Tesla MS, I did arrive at a charging station having 1% SoC left multiple times. That said, the battery was new and all cells were functioning as specified. With increased aged, the delta voltage (difference between cellular min and max cell voltage) can be 0.1V and higher, forcing the BMS to shut down the car much earlier than expected, especially if consumption is high (speed is high). There are a couple of reports in the Tesla forum. Folks got pretty surprised about getting stranded at 5% SoC left. Just because of one malfunctioning cell. Guess we have to monitor Porsche‘s turtle mode over time before judging long-term effectiveness.
1. I could not just use the start button. I pressed the start button to switch off the car. Then I get out of the car, locked it with the key, unlocked it and got in and started it again, then I could drive it.Thank you for sharing. Few questions:
1. I understand the car stopped, but you were able to restart and drive a little. How far were you able to go after the stop (1 km? more?).
2. When you started charging, did you happen to notice how quick was the re-charging process in the beginning? With the Tesla, it takes a while when it is at 0% (lots of pre-conditioning).
3. How accurate was the range estimator on the last 10%? I have tested the Taycan down to 15%, it looks like the observed range is always at least as large as the one predicted, if not better. Would be good to know if this continues the same at the bottom of the battery.
Interesting and it could explain what he told me: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/0-range-left.1635/post-25995Using the Tesla MS, I did arrive at a charging station having 1% SoC left multiple times.

At 0% it doesn't charge normally. My car sat for over an hour at 500ma charging (my mobile phone charges faster) then resumed normal charging shortly after that. Apparently this behaviour is normal (According to Porsche GB).Thank you for sharing. Few questions:

Thank you - important for all of us to know. I remember one of first Bjorn Nyland's Tesla videos when he barely made it to the SC, took a long time to start charging - seems the behavior is the same in Taycan.At 0% it doesn't charge normally. My car sat for over an hour at 500ma charging (my mobile phone charges faster) then resumed normal charging shortly after that. Apparently this behaviour is normal (According to Porsche GB).
If you are on the go, they told me not to go below 5 miles, as when you do you add a big charging delay. I did find the last part of the range to be fairly accurate until it zeroed me at 5 miles.
I wont let it get to 5 miles again!
DC or AC?At 0% it doesn't charge normally. My car sat for over an hour at 500ma charging (my mobile phone charges faster)...
