Taycan to Lofoten Islands, Norway (Follow Our Trip Report)

[tigerbalm]

it is just SO tedious to exit the autobahn and drive for a day at 100km/h on Dutch roads.

Also the PCM assumes you'll go 130 km/h on the autobahn (as that is the recommended speed) and also do the same 130 km/h in The Netherlands – because the 100 km/h is just the daytime reduced speed. So it will not calculate any difference between traveling on German or Dutch motorway – where as in reality – BIG difference!

Interesting - and a further reason to use ABRP for planning. I just tested this, out of interest, and for Venlo-Antwerp it sets the speed to 100km/h in the day, and 130 in the night. It also adjusts for whatever you've set as your own approach to speed limits and for the Autobahn you can put in a maximum speed (eg 230km/h) which it will use in addition to current weather -- generating a LOT of charging stops of course

Crazy Video! How did you managed to not hit the trees or the power lines?
Was this self flown or AI assisted?

We've got many hours of footage from the drone flown manually – but this particular clip is using AI and the "autotrack" option with 360 degrees obstacle avoidance. With that said, it struggles a little in the arctic as it works optically and the lack of contrast with the snow can confuse it easily.

Our Taycan is one of the 4% of Taycan's sold in Ireland with a metal roof. We don't like the look of the glass roof. The Porsche roof tent requires the luggage mounting system which is only available with the glass option.

There was some snow today in Dublin and you'd think armageddon had arrived. If Norwegian's allowed this much snow stop them – they'd have to give up.

I am the only Taycan on winter tyres in Ireland!

Snow accumulations after 15 minutes of driving ....
