I also wonder whether a pattern of consistent charging to 100% of the usable capacity may jeopardize your warranty rights on the battery, given Porsche's consistent written directives to only charge to 85% unless the car will be used for a long trip the next day. Would Porsche not be able to download a log of the car's charging sessions one way or the other?Well this has been covered extensively before. Different chemistries and configurations push the cells differently. Some cars, like the I Pace, say charge to 100% always. The Taycan SPECIFICALLY says DO NOT charge to 100% unless you need to, use 85% max. So they believe if you do it when you don’t need it it will impact longevity.
When in doubt go with what is recommended by the manufacturer. Look in your manual.
