2026 Porsche Taycan 4S Perf Battery Plus 19in All-Season

"From personal experience after test drives, and getting a 4S. 1. Get the bigger battery (Perfomance Battery Plus) 2. Sport chrono - the difference between Sport in regular cars and Sport+ with Sport Chrono is massive 3. Rear wheel steering - combined with Sport Chrono makes the car a proper sports car. I have taken a some people on spirited drives on twisty roads and even the ones with fast cars are shocked how fast the Taycan is around corners. And never skimp on tyres."

"What I have learned is that these cars are generally either problem free or problem full, so with that in mind I looked for a Taycan that had more miles than average thinking it meant the car was in the latter camp. One year into my used Taycan CT4 ownership and I haven't had a single issue. Personally, I didn't see much of a point in getting a "4S", "GTS", or a "Turbo" because I don't care if my EV is super fast -- it's really not what I bought it for and I have never once thought to myself I wish my Taycan 4 was faster. The "must-have" option is a fast charger installed in your home. Mine can charge from empty to full overnight. When I was using a regular wall charger it was just like a few dozen miles charge overnight."

"Updated 2025 Porsche Taycans See Their Range Improve by up to 50 Percent in Our Real-World Test >In-car range estimates were shockingly accurate in our range test, remaining within about 1 percent from start to finish. 💯"

"The difference in range you mention are due to how people drive their car Drive harder = higher consumption.

However, the updates are not something that you would consider constant and continuously improving and adding features. They are only related to safety, recent battery monitoring update related to ARB6/ARB7, and usually it is once a year. This does not include separate Map updates. I am pretty happy every time I see any kind of update."

"Loss of Comfort Access after changing numberplate 2025 for 2021 car. COMFORT ACCESS - Porsche say "Never have to lift a finger ever again." Unless they remove it from your car then out comes the keyboard!! Having same issue that people experienced 2 years ago. Just bought used(2021 plate) Taycan from Porsche dealer, changed number plate myself 2 weeks later and then lost Comfort access. Can see posts in 2023 people with same issue. Main difference now in 2025 is CHATGPT. My draft to Porsche below COMFORT ACCESS - Porsche say "Never have to lift a finger ever again." Unless they remove it from your car!! **Subject: Formal Complaint – Removal of Comfort Access Functionality from Used Porsche Taycan** Dear \[Porsche Customer Services / Name\], I am writing to raise a formal complaint regarding the removal of the **Comfort Access functionality** from my approved used Porsche Taycan, which I purchased from an official Porsche Centre. # Background When I took delivery of the vehicle, I was given a demonstration of features that included: * Automatic unlocking as I approached the vehicle with the key, * Extension of the door handles upon approach, * Contactless boot opening using a foot gesture. These are core elements of Porsche’s **Comfort Access** feature, as described on your own website: “The Comfort Access feature allows you access to the vehicle without actively using the key... boot and bonnet can be opened via contactless gestures... the car unlocks as you approach.” While the **vehicle’s written specification did not list “Comfort Access” by name**, it did include: *“Central locking system ‘Keyless-Go’ (RoW) (FOD)”*. It is entirely reasonable — and indeed, I believe many customers would share the view — that the term “Keyless-Go” encompasses the demonstrated Comfort Access functionality. There was no indication at any point that these features were temporary, subscription-based, or subject to later deactivation. # The Issue Roughly two weeks after purchase, I changed the number plate. Shortly afterward, the Comfort Access features were deactivated. I have now been informed by Porsche UK that to re-enable the functionality, I would need to pay **£1,190**, on the basis that the car was “not originally configured” with this option. It is important to note that **the dealer has been entirely supportive and professional throughout this matter**, and it is clear that the deactivation occurred **as a result of action taken at the manufacturer or regional head office level**, likely due to a system flag or automated rollback to factory settings. In short, this is not an issue caused by the dealer — it is a central systems issue within Porsche UK or Porsche AG. # Legal Considerations Under the **Consumer Rights Act 2015**, a product — including a vehicle — must be: * As described, * Of satisfactory quality, * Fit for purpose, including digital and software functionality where relevant. The presence of Comfort Access functionality"

"2020 is not something that I would recommend and look for newer as this was a launch model and now aged in general including the battery. To me, when the battery warranty expires (8 years or 100k miles) the car is worth zero, since battery replacement, if needed, cost $45k used and almost double that if replaced with new, but if modules need to be replaced that would be cheaper.
