How do you think the WLTP figures are derived? Manufacturers don't just pluck a figure out of thin air. Cars are tested according to WLTP conditions, and not ones decided on by the manufacturer. So the range figure isn't what Porsche "promises", it's just the result of the WLTP test, which is...
Yep, it's a pain. This is why I'm curious to find out if they've changed it for the Macan. A workaround is to choose a location next to your preferred charge point in the hope it suggests a charge near there, but even then that's no guarantee. Sometimes the EV charger it selects to charge at...
That's interesting, thanks.
Regarding the automatic pre-conditioning. My experience with my two first gen Taycans is that if you navigate to a charger directly, it won't pre-condition. You have to be navigating to somehere other than a charger, and the charger has to be a charging stop...
Sure. This is the best I have for the moment as I haven't taken delivery yet. It looks very good with my spec which is black leather with Turbonite accents and stitching.
Illuminated "Turbo" badge with Turbonite background...
Agree about the seats logo. I went with the "Turbo" script with Turbonite surround.
Don't agree about the powered charging port. I chose it on my two previous Taycans for the reason you suggest (interacting with it constantly), but it works differently on the Macan, and is neither as easy to...
I appreciate you're a remainer...
...but, the UK is now a small state on the fringe of a much larger bloc. Even if they could set their own rules, it isn't necessarily going to mean car manufacturers are going to remove certain features. Much simpler for them to supply cars that are as close to...
It's standard because it's mandatory.
Then you weren't paying attention. It was pointed out many times by remainers that leaving the EU would largely change nothing in terms of rules. The difference would be that we just wouldn't have a say in them any more.
He's in Portugal. You're in the UK. Temperature has a huge impact on range.
Also, he's expressing his consumption in kWh/100km. You in kWh/100mi. Convert your figure to the same units then you're getting 23.1 kWh/100km, which is pretty good consumption for winter.
Porsche advertise the range under WLTP conditions, just like every other manufacturer. Period. They don't advertise the range in the real world.
Why are people still people banging on about range?
A/c is for warm and cool weather and it also dehumidifies the interior. You should work on the basis it should be "on" at all times by default, and only turn it off in specific circumstances, such as having windows open.
If anything, I would say a/c is more important in winter than summer in...
I'm struggling to understand what you mean. You can choose to have regen on or off on the Macan.
EDIT: I've now seen your reply in the Taycan forum. I understand you mean there is no "auto" regen mode.
This is wrong.
The J1 Taycan had two buttons on the left-side of the steering wheel. A...
