Another Ten Taycan Tips!

[@The_hustletown_PA-C]

great video, one slight error is for the comfort entry on the frunk you dont have to actually touch it and it is the top portion of the bumper you wave you hand over. Always use your right hand to close, because your wedding band will scratch the paint. Lastly the fob has to be in your pocket. :)

[@TABonTV]

Thanks for the comment! Had a few people say that, I can literally hear the paintwork breathe a sigh of relief!!😆

Greetings from Arizona! We just purchased our ‘24 Taycan RWD recently and are having so much fun with our new ride! Happy to have found your channel, and look forward to learning more each day. We gladly will appreciate the tips, this was a great one! Cheers.

[@TABonTV]

Glad it helped you out and hope you enjoy the ownership experience!

[@Rui725]

This is a great list. Truly from someone who owns and daily drives this beautiful car.

[@J44p174]

Great video! I’m looking to purchase a Taycan Turbo S, and when you mentioned battery temperature I was expecting you to use the precool/preheat button as I thought that’d be an ideal situation for its use.

[@TABonTV]

Yeah - most normally just whack it in sport+ on the way to the charger which slowly heats the battery - you'll find it's usually too cold, at least in the UK anyway. ❄️😆

My taycan is being delivered this week! You’ve got me excited to try all these tips

[@ronb4633]

Welcome to the family. I have had my Taycan 4S for three years and 80,000 miles.

[@TABonTV]

Good news! They're great cars!

[@JMarSa-1]

Hi! We just picked up our ‘24 Taycan RWD and luckily found this YT channel for all the helpful tips. We haven’t even charged our new car, yet, but will today. My husband and I absolutely love driving the car and think it is one of the best looking cars on the road! How are you enjoying your Taycan?

[@MaxMustermann-zp5xy]

Nice list! Although I've driven my Taycan for almost 2 years now, Tips #1 and #6 were new to me. Thanks!

[@TABonTV]

Glad it helped!

[@thebeatonclan]

Another good video. Some interesting tips I didn’t know. Save me reading the manual.

[@clubbizarre]

Some of the tips in your videos are not limited to Taycan but other car brands as well (mirror dip, hold when pushing hard on the brake while in trafic etc)

[@kulttur]

For opening the frunk, you need to swipe over the front bumper 😊

[@tixus23]

Thanks for this! I’m amazed by your range that I saw on the video. I never get that in such weather in my GTS ST 😢

[@TABonTV]

Welcome! I'd been doing quite a bit of driving in steady traffic. It goes down when you give it a blast...

[@RBcymru]

Useful tips. I am Still waiting for used car prices to drop more so I can get a Taycan. £60k still too high and expecting 2020 car to be £40k by June 2024. I do want the bigger battery as if the smaller 79 kwh battery does drop 20% capacity within 8 years then you lose 40 miles of range (30% would be 60 miles ) but the bigger battery would still do 200 miles if it lost 20% capacity. Rapid charging will cause faster capacity loss so if you want to keep more capacity do not charge above 11kw AC.

[@charlesbcraig]

Seems crazy but I think you're right about them dropping that far. Besides the facelift, the Macan EV get announced in a few days which will also drop pricing

[@RBcymru]

I will buy a Taycan but not yet. In the UK Porsche dealers are struggling to sell them and now discounting cars by £12k on pre registered cars with 10 miles on the clock. @@charlesbcraig

[@kengormley4530]

another great video mate......on the battery heating i would imagine it uses quite a bit of energy for the battery to heat i.....so will the route planner automatically adjust this so you wont run out of range before you get to the charging station ??

[@TABonTV]

The PCM PCS is seriously impressive in its management of the battery, warming the battery isn't too much stress on % but have faith it will get you there.

[@ronb4633]

Yes, the PCM takes this into account. But you are correct that heating the battery to 100°F does take a lot of energy. You can see this in your efficiency numbers as it starts preheating the battery and your driving efficiency drops. But it is worth it as long as the chargers are putting out over 150 kW. Note that this preheating will only occur if the charger that your routed to is a high power charger it will generally not preheat if you are routing only to a 50 kW unit.

[@kengormley4530]

@@TABonTV Thanks great info ......jus mine back from the shop (3 weeks) got my new heater hopefully no more failures

@@ronb4633 Thanks Ron very helpful

[@TheLukaszpg]

Hey, thanks for this. How did you get the speed sign recognition? I can't find it in my 2022 rwd. Thanks

[@TABonTV]

Might be that it's not activated if present, check the driver assistance settings in the vehicle menu

[@johnjohnson7397]

Finally someone read the manual

[@TABonTV]

😂

[@derekteng]

To open the front bonet, it’s swipe on the bumper below the crest. Not the bonet itself. The sensors are behind the bumper.

[@TABonTV]

Thanks. Either way I think I'd be mostly concerned about rubbing grit into the paint 😂

[@derekteng]

@@TABonTV oh, you don’t have to physically touch the bumper. Just hover over it and it will pop open :)

[@ronb4633]

That is correct, you need only waive your hand a half inch above the vehicle. This is very handy as I never have to take the key out of my pocket and often have it zipped in a secured pocket. Opening the rear boot requires only a kick under the back, and you do not need to touch the button, which may be dirty from bad weather. Also, closing the boot requires only a kick under the rear bumper, which is very handy when you have your hands full carrying items.

[@synth-stuff]

When I set my left mirror when in reverse to face down, it doesn't return back up when I go back into drive. Any ideas?

[@eingast7798]

You need to activate this option in the PCM (AFAIR "light&visibility")

[@hughmann1908]

How accurate is the smart lift, with +-? Ft?

[@TABonTV]

It's pretty good but sometimes is a bit late so you need to keep an eye on it

[@joevandura9625]

Happy new year 2024! 🎉 ✌️ 🙋🏼‍♂️ Thanks for the tips.. 😉.. My favorite ist the smart lift because of our farmers roads we have to take very often. So underground is safe! 😜

[@TABonTV]

Happy new year to you Joe!

[@ninjataisen2007]

Such a beautiful car, hoping the facelift doesn’t change that.

[@TABonTV]

I think it's going to have a different front end, esp lights.

[@ninjataisen2007]

@@TABonTV .. I hope they have a grace period after the reveal so I can place my order then, unless it comes with a significant range increase

[@Rui725]

Curious why your boot doesn't have a lock car button and only a close boot? Yours look like a fully specced car. Maybe it's a regional thing?

[@TABonTV]

I wish I had a good answer for this - puzzling me too. Can only imagine a regional safety thing and London gangsters aren't happy 😆

[@martinm3422]

haha Cayenne has the boot postition for 13 years at least.

[@TABonTV]

I know but us Taycan owners are finding this all very new & exciting 😂

[@b.t.]

News just in… Porsche has beaten its last Nurburgring lap time of the Taycan by 26 seconds and taken its crown back from the Tesla Plaid, beating it by a still very sizable 17 seconds. It is within 2 seconds of the multi million dollar 4-motor all carbon Rimac Nevera with a 7:07 run (Nevera at 7:05). Porsche credits technology improvements in several areas that the Macan EV and this car share. This is Porsche's first tri-motor Taycan. They will release the video in March when the car will be available.

[@TABonTV]

I saw that earlier myself, seriously impressive! Looking forward to the big drop!
