First cold snap of the year...just watch that range tumble!

Are you saying that I have to plugin for overnight, and set slow charging?

Just plug it in and let the car figure it out.

You don't have to make any changes to your routine. 80/85% whatever you set the profile for. The point is that when the battery gets cold its output (range) goes down and its time to charge goes up. Just plug it in every night and the car will be ready for you in the morning. Range is going down because its cold and there is not much you can do about that. All you can do is have the battery in the best state possible (some heat in it when its cold).

Understood,
You see, till now i haven’t used any profile settings.
i plugged when i come to the office and check on app how’s going….then unplugged when it’s somewhere between 80-90%/

Maybe I need to clean one of the garages out so my baby can go in the warm?

Not aware of anything standard on US spec cars that isn't in Europe, other than those bright orange indicators and a boot / trunk opening beep?

We get a boot closing beep in UK when using the foot gesture to close.

colder weather and probably my right foot average since new 4k 2.6 m/kWh todays trip in cold since charging was down to 1.8kWh !

It was "only" -3 during the night, about -1 when I started... between 0 and +1 during driving.
Average consumption 27,5kwh/100km , speed 61km/h.

Battery temp?

Battery temp?

Honestly speaking, I don't know how to find that info
Also, just noticed on the phone that connection to PCM is not available. There are still yesterday's data.

It seems all Porsche Connect is down again. Seems they use AWS? Neither my app or the ID login works just now.

Ah ok no problem.

Go to your PCM and configure the right cockpit display / tube with 'Customised View' - Settings..Displays...Instrument Cluster...Customised View. Select up to 4 line items and then on the steering wheel select the rightmost display, use the thumbwheel to display the customised view if not already your default.

Thx, @W1NGE , will play with that when I'll come back from lunch.

Edit: found how to check battery temperature. Right now, +3 C, car parked in a garage, near open window, outside temperature about +3 as well.
Will check tomorrow morning again.

@Scandinavian : PCM is back (software maintenance between 9-11:00 CET).

Just came home.
Distance 52km, average speed: 55km/h, consumption: 26.3kwh/100km, battery temperature from+3 to +9, outside temp.+2.

note: I was waiting about 10minutes because a road was closed; before that, consumption was 24.5kwh/100km.

 

[W1NGE]

Thx - I have a long drive tomorrow and will start with 100% SOC so I'll try and capture all telemetry for that. It's got warmer here 6C - 9C.
