  • The second aspect is people buy for the “5% chance”, not their 95% daily habits.

    me with my roofbox I’ve used once. tho it’s nice that it’s an optional attachment to my wagon that I don’t need installed 24/7, and thank fuck for that cuz the wagon it gets attached to is an EV where the aero drag does matter a bit more than in an ICE powered vehicle

    Rather than renting for that one day, for that one specific purpose they want something that can do it all (incidentally this is also why EVs have had a tough time catching on).

    Taycan wagon does it all for me! Highly recommend anyone who’s curious about one and can afford a certified used one to definitely consider it! Take advantage of their crazy depreciation!

    Tons of space, enough battery capacity given the excellent DC charging speeds, very fun, very comfy, very very pretty









  • Refusing to use the bottom 20% of your 300 mile pack is astonishing to me.

    I understand having some buffer in case you need to divert to an alternate charging location but most people in most parts of the US don’t live or travel places where charging stations are THAT far apart.

    And there is no danger to battery health with driving down to 5% or lower state of charge. You’re SUPPOSED to go that low on long trips. The only potential impact to battery health is if you leave it parked at a super low or super high state of charge, and even then doing so for a day or two on rare occasions is not gonna be a problem. Furthermore most EVs already lock off a small portion of the pack’s range specifically for battery longetivity so unless you’re in a Tesla or are under a recall or something you shouldn’t worry about this so much that you refuse to use the last twenty percent

    Use your whole battery! It’s there for you to
