They are attempting a drift parallel parking maneuver, hoping the car will slide in just right between two snow banks off-picture to the left.
I find it interesting that Porsche does such local weather prep only. Don't people from South East drive out of state anywhere there temperatures drop under 32F? And if they do, shouldn't Porsche have added some setting in the PCM to warn users as they enter colder temperatures that their cars need different prep? They already stick a giant sticker with max speed based on tire speed rating, why not add a sticker about minimum temperature to drive in. Of course they could have also added heated washer nozzles, but I guess too much cost and complexity?
I suspect it's either lack of software skills, or the impact on range was too great. Or both.
I’m not sure heaters are Porsche’s strong suit.
They had enough trouble keeping the main heater alive, adding 4 more heaters was just too much to even think about.I suspect it's either lack of software skills, or the impact on range was too great. Or both.
Now wait a minute @SergeyIndy. It's one thing for Porsche to test Taycans in Finland 350 km north of Arctic Circle, and in Death Valley, USA, but expecting them to drive and test Taycans in Indiana?
We don't.
We do know that last winter they had more failures than parts ready to ship in their supply chain, resulting in people waiting for weeks - so more failures than expected from their testing or really poor parts supply chain planning. We also know they had sufficient number of failures to issue a pre-emptive recall in the USA, though they seem to be adding cars to it very slowly using some AI algorithm, indicating still insufficient supply of parts to replace them all. We also know the part went through an unusually high number of revisions. All this adds up to a picture of Taycan heaters not being a success story, 4 years into production.
I think the shape of the headlights will be modified to all .2 cars.
