Many benefits, and for the cost, it is a great value. Is it a must, you decide if benefits below do not matter: - Smaller turning radius at slow speeds for parking and U-turns - Smoother curved road driving and cornering - Smoother lane changes at highway speeds RWS (or Rear Axle Steering) was...

This is for someone who is overwhelmed by the number of build options. I just met someone in a business meeting who considered a Porsche and when they walked into the showroom and had to make all these choices, then wait for it, no thank you, they turned around and bought a truck. I get it...

The only thing I would add is that I do a rebalance about every 5k miles. I think of it as a rinsing of the battery chemistry and allowing the electronics to rescan battery health and recalibrate everything with new numbers. The procedure it pretty simple. Otherwise to me, 50% SoC is the happy...

Lots of data about it and @daveo4EV is by far the most respected real world expert on this, so listen to the above. My own research convinced me that the best practice is to keep your battery near 50% when at rest, so I target to be at 50% at the end of the day, then charge it before a morning...

Please send me a link so I can review and correct myself. Not sure what you mean by "graphics", I only speak when I have data.

A lot of this sounds completely false: - Taycan loses almost 10% of SoH in the first 10k miles. We have a ton of data on the Taycan forum about it, but this is my own, which is consistent with others. Therefore, the claim of 98% of SoH is false after the years and miles you are noting. 2...

I would like to understand why 270 speed is not good enough. I am good with 150 and on purpose set my Taycan to battery friendly to lower the speed. 300 speed heats the battery to over 130F and gives no advantage in overall time in charging from 10% to 80%. I am not seeing any value in 400, that...

Distance to Destination and Battery Level are available as a pull down. See, the Nav overlay on the right with pull up arrow on the bottom. This is from the simulator, as I do not have Macan EV (yet), but it works similar on a Taycan that I do have. Also, there should be a Tube Trip menu that...

They are doubling down on the ugly and asymmetric interior design, not learning from the butt ugly and stupid by name called XM like a radio, that no one bought. I guess they have conditioned all of their customers to get used to the busy and off center everything, screaming at you. My head was...

My view on your regrets. * 9Z2 - 115-volt Power Socket $160: This is an interesting input about 150W max, what things you are not able to use that need more. * KS5 - Augmented Reality Heads-Up Display $2530: Agree with this. I test drove one with it and it was a quick no, as it is mostly...

Simple on the Taycan. OBD/CarScanner. EDIT per @tmrqs : and now available on Macan EV. Data of interest is SoH and Cell graphs with Temp, SoC, and Voltage. Also, you can calculate your actual Battery energy in kWh so you know exactly how much usable battery capacity you have after everything has...

I guess you missed my point above, while battery temp may be ok to be that high, other components will not hold up so much, like fans.

That Thank you for correcting me on the losses. My main point was that the EVSE cable does not get hot when I charge at 35Amps vs. 48Amps.

No point and no benefit of charging that silly fast. This high temp of battery while supported is not good and increases the risk of failure of all systems. I always set Battery Friendly to ON for much smoother charging curve and lower battery temp -- just me. Let me give you an example, when...

Pictures please.

There is no way to control it. I think this is the first such inquiry, but it makes sense. The only thing you can do to help is to enable Battery Friendly charging, which is the only and always on mode I use then hypothetically the battery will not be preheated so aggressively for the fastest...

I can say a lot of nice things. There is a sister forum to this one that is dedicated to Taycan.

I know someone with 2 Macan ICE. I have 3, not Macan EV yet. See signature.

These functions should be powered by the 12V not the HV battery. I doubt much impact on Range. You can see the latest video from State of Charge that shows what really impacts range...speed:

There are a few use cases for me, since Heating and Cooling are just clever marketing terms to make you pay for this stuff. Heating is achieved through a coil (wire) and Cooling is via a fan pushing air into the cushion. Heating is more efficient if you have Cooling fan on (low) since the air...
