i still have factory connectiivty subscription. does map navigate with traffic to chargers after subscription expires?

You use native maps? It's so slow compared to Google maps or apple maps

porsche doesnt explain or compare it to other passive anti-rollbars. they're more stressing how it is more efficient than implementation in other cars like Rivian R1S or other gas porsches. (R1S uses hydraulic active rollbar, same as McLarens). Do they explain it well for gas car pdcc like 911?

from what i heard active ride adds lot of comfort by keeping chassis very flat over bumps, curves in normal mode. however, in sport mode active ride is turned off.
