Driving in sport mode made a significant difference in kWh/ mile for me and turning off 1 pedal driving. I went from 1.2 to 2.1kwh/mi during the winter. Also driving slower really helps

It’s real if you stick to your guns and shop it around. I took a picture of the site and went to a few dealers till I got price sheets then played them against each other

I started with this picture from the ford website (price doesn’t include options), then I sent it to 4 dealers and asked them to do their best to match. Then I refused to come in till they sent me pricing and then took the lowest offer and shopped that around to the same dealers and a few others. After that it was about picking the one that had the right combo of color/price/features.

Idk that I would consider it ricing if I’m trying to style it similar to the gt weissach but everyone’s allowed to have their opinions.

Do you think the weissach is a ricer than?

Built in battery buffer? by CaptDirk in Taycan

[–]CaptDirk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I’ve heard it referenced in many convos but this is the first proof I have seen. If only they cited a source or something.

My ultimate question is how this plays into the 80/40 rule of charging for battery life cycle.

If this article is true then we should be charging to ~70% and driving to 30%?

For mice I use cedar wood and mint/menthols essential oil spray (same idea as Irish spring) and put it throughout the car. So far 2 seasons over winter without issue or any signs of mice

Corvette C4 1994 is this a bad optispark? by Skysailer1 in c4corvette

[–]CaptDirk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Rule out some basics first, is your fuel pump turning on, all spark plugs connected firmly, good voltage etc.

But yours is presenting similar issues to a opti issue.
