When I got my MY2020 Taycan delivered in October, the Porsche-recommended SoC to charge the battery to on normal days (i.e. no long roadtrip shortly after charging) was 85%. If I am not mistaken, the forum members with MY2021 Taycans reported that for their cars the recommended SoC is now 80%. Assuming that it is still basically the same big battery, this would mean that Porsche is getting more cautious with its charging recommendations. Also the new post-update option to avoid the highest DC charger speeds points in that direction. Today, I modified my General Profile setting to charge to 80% instead of 85%. Am I too cautious myself? Of note: I do not lease my cars but buy those outright because I typically drive six, seven or even eight years with my cars, so I do want lasting battery performance.
