    Backup Camera Quality to Improve?

    I have also seen the opposite problem. The camera showing the bumper touching an object but in reality the object is a feet away. I have stopped relying on the distorted camera image on tight spots and I use the mirrors. The camera lines are also projecting the car to be in the wrong position...

    The Dreaded Electrical Fault Error, pull over and park

    The loss of acceleration power while driving in Range mode is not related to the Electrical system fault. Range mode has a max speed setting, once you exceed the max speed, then it disables the accelerator pedal. You can bypass it by flooring the pedal and then after a second or so you get full...

    Backup Camera Quality to Improve?

    The image is so distorted and the distances appear wrong. Just compare what you see in the screen with what you see at the side mirrors as you approach objects. Many times the camera shows the bumper is almost touching my garage door as I back out but the reality is that there is at least one...

    Stupid stupid stupid electrical system fault

    You should take the car to the service department for diagnostics. Repeated electrical errors are probably caused by malfunctioning hardware that needs replacement.

    Real acceleration on CT4

    I haven't seen mid 3s for my 4S. How do you measure these numbers? What tool do you use? Is it from a standstill?

    Real acceleration on CT4

    I don't think Porsche is underestimating their 0-60. Their numbers are just the real ones. The magazines are overestimating and they usually use rollout. I had a Macan S that Porsche listed as 5 sec 0-60. Every magazine claimed 4.5-4.7sec. I had measured mine multiple times, I never got under...

    Experience with Bay Area Porsche Dealers

    I had a good sales experience with Porsche of Redwood City. They matched an offer from another dealer without hassle and they did not try to sell questionable protection or maintenance plans. The sales person also helped setup my Porsche account and paired it with the car. It was one of the...

    In big recent recall, was there update for the charger connect that allowed it to display the battery percentage?

    The charger update is WMA7 and the display of SOC on the charger screen does not work for 2020 models, only 2021.

    Meeting with Sales & Service Managers - questions to ask

    (Only) The loaner policy question is a useful one in my opinion. A few years ago I was ready to buy a Mercedes GLC 43 but the Merc dealer was not offering loaners and that was a deal breaker for me because that would have been my only car. I bought a Macan S instead. The Macan had been at the...

    Porsche Charging Service shows no results

    Same here, sometimes the Nav cannot find the EA chargers and it returns empty list. This happens even if the car has strong LTE signal so it is a problem at the Porsche servers Also when it does find them it shows the wrong number of available chargers in each location.

    I think it gives you almost 80hp but only for 2 sec.

    Real World Taycan 4S With Performance Battery Plus 0-60 Times?

    0-60 in the low 4s if you don't use launch control. Without launch control the throttle response is a little sluggish in the first few fractions of the seconds then it takes off. For reference I used to have a Macan S that every magazine has measured ~4.5sec but in real live I never saw...

    Bay Area Dealership recommendations for Taycan service

    I had bad experiences (plural) at Burlingame both on sale and on multiple service visits (on a different model). I will never go back there even if they serviced my car for free. Also parking around the dealership is limited. I go to Redwood city where I had a positive sales experience. Service...

    US EV tax credits

    But in that case more people will keep buying 4.0 V8 luxury cars ( like M5s and AMGs instead of a Taycan) or 3.0 cars (like M340i or S4 or C43 instead if Ford Mach-e or Tesla model 3) and then you don't save the environment which is the primary purpose of the credit. Personally I would have...

    Playing the daily electronics lottery... what's not working today....

    Today for the first time I saw a novel white warning about the Trunk Emergency Release being unavailable. The message self-cleared after a few seconds before being able to take a photo.
