It's the Mission E

Hardly. It will vary depending on the draw you are pulling from it due to demand, if it is charging from the HV battery, and probably even the temperature of the battery from being parked vs driving.

On this aspect the regen is not as aggressive as on our Model X, but it's there. You have three options: Standard regen Lift your foot off the pedal at speed and the car will slow due to regeneration. Again, this is not as strong as in our Tesla, but it's there. "No" regen Lift your foot...

There isn't a Taycan owner whose battery has lasted 4-5 years... since it only started delivery just under 3 years ago. Checking out the Google search, I see it points to a dealership's page (https://www.porscheofgreenville.com/2021-porsche-taycan-battery.htm), which does indeed include such...

I had AMB5 done this past Friday. The advisor warned that it came up categorized as a "5" in terms of work required for my particular car, and could stretch into the weekend, but in the end it only took a half day. They also made some minor adjustments of some sort for my driver door rattle...

Car Security Package would enable Porsche Vehicle Tracking System, but that is not this. StarGard sounds like something separate from your dealer installed and is likely getting a commission for. Unless you drove the car off the trailer when it arrived, there easily could have been time for...

That is part of why going with a proven/trusted installer is important. The one I use has worked with many, many Porsches and other high end vehicles, and they did a great job for me on my other cars.

I received a new manual hardcopy when my car went in for the WMA5 update.

No issue with iOS 14.5 and CarPlay for me, other than it can take up to ~30 seconds to actually start playing music sometimes. But that was the case with earlier iOS 14.x versions.

Post-update, I'm getting pretty good consistency with using the foot kick gesture to open the trunk. This rarely worked for me pre-update.

Thanks! When I started the first download manually from the car display, it gave me an option to automatically download the updates by default moving forward.

I got my 2020 4S back from the update after a week at the dealership. Originally it was for 2 days but took longer... not sure how much was due to the update vs the service shop being very booked. In any case, I asked how it went, and the tech's assessment was that my car's update went "the...

Neither RF nor microwave frequencies are close to the ionizing range of electromagnetic energy, the type that you should worry about when it comes to DNA damage. That starts at ultraviolet (multi Terahertz) and up. But there could be some concern about sitting in the car and having other...

FWIW I use the Neocharge smart splitter. We put in a NEMA 14-50 outlet when we got our Model X a couple years ago. Then got the splitter when the Taycan arrived, so that we could have both chargers plugged in. It's very convenient to not have to unplug/replug chargers, nor have to work with...

For MY2020 the wired requirement goes away after the WMA5 update. I don't think there is any regional limitation on that.

It goes to the fuse panel.

Blackvue does have a module, the Power Magic Pro, that will provide a timer and 12V cutoff if the 12V battery goes below a certain threshold, to prevent from draining it. I have this in my Blackvue install. You can also supplement it with a battery pack to lengthen the uptime during parking (I...

If you have the cord come out of the armrest storage area towards the passenger side, the lid should close without crushing the cable.

I keep my cars for the long run, preferably 10 years or more, and this will be no different. Technology is inevitably getting better all the time, especially with the industry finally moving to EVs which should spur innovation further. You just have to determine if the state of the technology...

Similar experience here, the local dealer hadn't heard about this, and their system shows my VIN isn't due for any update as of yet. They are looking into it...
