Yes I couldn’t beat the price for a j1.1 last summer for a CPO PTS, in a color I really wanted and warranty until 2030. Also J1.1 I knew I really liked already. Good enough and cheaper. But the newer front end has grown on me I don’t mind it at all now.
I’m admittedly mixed on the front fascia change myself. I liked the look of the gen 1.
Someone once told me "You don't see the front end of the car when you are driving it" and I was able to buy an ugly to me at the time front refresh model (S550 Mustang 18+). I eventually came around to loving it.
Thanks, and yes, I read through your trip logs. I just didn't/don't see the range figures,
nope, not skeptical, and I'm aware of all the online range tests...
That’s why you shouldn’t trust the owner to owner stats based on displayed range estimates.
My log for the trip did show that; I had one charge session. I drove 240 miles, and arrived at the charger with 12% SoC. I charged to 75% before continuing on, and needed no additional charging.
understood, but I'm always interested in real-world owner trip data, in addition to data from journalist testers who have cars that are not their own (and in many cases are even pre-production vehicles).... And no two cars/battery packs are exactly alike...
On the Weissach, I'm getting over 300miles in normal driving. It's pretty impressive
I know this is contentious, and I have never heard the Burmester system, but when I was speccing my car during Covid Bose was unavailable so I compared the standard and Bose systems.

Anecdotal comments by, probably 90% non-scientific method, of a one driver, one location, one car "data" over a short period are obviously worthless and having so many is one of the reasons the internet is such a pit of misinformation and bollox.
My wife and I both have EVs. She never drives my car, but I drive hers from time to time, and recently a little more when my Taycan was out of commission due to heating failures. I can tell you that as soon as I do one drive in my wife's eTron, the estimated mileage immediately and noticeably drops. I mean literally me getting in her car, seeing 200+ miles of estimated range at 80% SoC, I drive 20 miles, come back and charge back to 80%, and it now showing 179miles of range. For reference, my Taycan right now shows 177miles of range at 85% SoC. Oh, wait, while typing this, the range just went up to 178miles (app said "Just updated" when showing the 177 miles, so if you trust the German software engineering, it literally changed as I was typing this). Oh wait, it just went back to 177miles, I guess the car cannot decide for sure (note: it is currently NOT charging, EVSE is showing as off).
