    Drives in LA?

    Angeles Crest Hwy - great road with several side roads that are worth exploring as well! Mt. Wilson Observatory is along ACH too and is worth a stop. Friday mornings there’s the “Good Vibes Breakfast Club” cars and coffee gathering at the old Newcomb’s Ranch restaurant parking lot along ACH...

    Yuk…… disgusting sight ….. Electrical System Error

    Ugh - sorry to hear it. Did they provide a loaner?

    Battery capacity and range estimates

    Phantom drain WAS endemic to the older Model S/X, but hasn't really been an issue on the 3/Y. The few reports I've seen on the 3/Y have generally been linked to an active app on a phone close to the car at all times and/or something else waking the car up, intentionally or unintentionally...

    Battery capacity and range estimates

    My guess is that your car is being “woken up” somehow multiple times a day. In 5 years with 2 different Model 3s, leaving them sitting for even multiple days at a time at home or the airport, I’ve never seen the SOC change by more than 1-2%. Most of the time the SOC doesn’t change at all, but...

    Battery capacity and range estimates

    Something’s not set correctly on your Model Y if you’re seeing that much energy usage while the car is sitting. Do you have Sentry Mode activated?

    Picking up my TR in Dallas, very tempted to drive it back to San Diego, CA

    Avoid this charger at all costs: Love's Travel #286 (Quartzsite, AZ) 760 S Quartzsite Blvd, Quartzsite, Arizona 85346 https://maps.apple.com/?q=760 S Quartzsite Blvd, Quartzsite, Arizona&sll=33.65756,-114.24142&z=1&t=m What makes avoiding it tough is that it’s one of the few DCFC options...

    Yuk…… disgusting sight ….. Electrical System Error

    We left Rancho Santa Fe yesterday morning in that weather. Beautiful sunshine when we got back to LaQuinta, though. View from LaQuinta last weekend was similar to your IW pic: Hope your red circle gets resolved soon!

    Porsche Dealer Loaner Car Obligation in warranty scenario… a question (USA)

    If the car is CPO, I’d think you could reasonably expect a loaner, especially with what appears to be a catastrophic failure.

    VW Group (Porsche, Audi, Scout) Commits to NACS

    Semantics. Fine - “open access”. Still waiting for evidence of “intransigence”…

    VW Group (Porsche, Audi, Scout) Commits to NACS

    There were limitations, of course, because why wouldn't there be? There were also opportunities: https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=ca6c332f-2cc5-401b-b80d-36473d0754c7 What about the intransigence you mentioned?

    VW Group (Porsche, Audi, Scout) Commits to NACS

    Why do you think Tesla was being intransigent? Was that reported somewhere? Back in 2014, Telsa offered their patented EV technologies for free to anyone who wanted to use them to further the cause of EV development: https://www.tesla.com/blog/all-our-patent-are-belong-you The legacy...

    VW Group (Porsche, Audi, Scout) Commits to NACS

    Why does a lack of a business agreement matter to Tesla? They profit from selling the KWHs to whoever uses them, right? So why couldn’t the “Charge Your Non-Tesla” function in the app be used to start a charging session at ANY Supercharger once the appropriate adapters are available?

    Look before you charge!

    Ouch. On a semi-related note, I’ve been staying at a particular hotel near our corporate HQ partially because they’ve been offering free Tesla Destination Chargers. They recently replaced those with temperamental CCS chargers, and I found out this week that they’re now charging a flat $15.00...

    2023 Taycan Turbo S Update made it quicker - by a full second quicker to 150mph!

    Not an OTA update, but still pretty cool…. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a46078628/2023-porsche-taycan-turbo-s-quicker-acceleration-test/

    Does Porsche limit available power?

    Every EV loses power to some degree as SOC drops. Some mask the power drop better than others, but physics dictates that power will eventually drop as the battery voltage drops.

    Why US drivers may be thinking about EVs all wrong.... BBC article....

    It honestly sounds like you should just buy a Tesla. ?‍♂️

    Why US drivers may be thinking about EVs all wrong.... BBC article....

    The results of the survey speak to the reputation and current state of non-Tesla EV DCFC infrastructure in the US much moreso they do to potential EV buyers' attitudes towards EVs themselves.

    Tesla Cybertruck’s 911 Gimmick

    Speaking of wadding, this is obviously just a marketing piece. Judging by the multiple mentions of this same clip on this forum, it appears to have had the desired effect....
