The solution was a little more subtle ?

Yes this is a good point: And I agree it should be part of deciding. But all points I have included are. There are many I’ve not added here that I looked at. Nothing included about customers wanting electric? Nothing added about improvements over Ice, nothing about pollution. we could choose...

Finished above. This entry a mistake. Maybe I do need a little sleep I was up yesterday around 03:00 AM. Think I’ll call it a night. . . Did try and delete this as not intended. Could have made another mistake a it’s still here? Oh go on, I will add something now. Only small. I’m surprised...

Hi: Again I must apologise for not being clearer. What I wanted to get over, and I hope, this will help is: I’m intending to try and understand if anybody on the Forum has similar thoughts to me regarding EV production. And as a small aide-memoire, I’m referring to the comment about ‘Does...

Sorry for any delay: l do like looking at woodwork video’s. A new passion. I’m not arguing with anything you said. But just a small point: I’m not sure you answered my question? And if you did, as I said. It would helpful if you showed the proof. Me being scientific and all. Just a small...

Thanks for the reply: Sorry for not answer you directly, it’s not cherry picking time, but I do have the option, or not. However, I would like to ask a simple question that as yet I’m surprised hasn’t been asked, or answered: Does anybody believe (again sorry, not believe) know if any legacy...

Thanks: I do have one confession on the topic: I never actually saw the car, or had anything to do with the design. Just some electronics not available that they needed. It had to stop without an engine. And it did. . .

I m not sure if I mentioned it. I also had some 20 odd years in the electronics for Brake by Wire. New now as it’s needed without engines with a vacuum system. Just R/D for me ground breaking? Yes just going into production yes. Again nobody has to believe me. Other than I do have the proof...

Hi: much shorter reply: I worked on the first production EV ( I think) The GM one crap and scrapped. ? maybe that counts a little on my side of the argument. Sorry, debate. Just saying. . .

Absolutely fine by me: it’s not what I think. - I’m just an old electronics engineer. Starting with 7400 series, working on one of the first Z80 based computers in production, designing many boards for it. Sorry, you probably don’t remember. Those days computers had an external bus! I won’t go...

I’m in total agreement and feel need to add further to your comments. I hope you don’t mind? Obviously, all are free to voice thoughts on the forum, I’m adding mine. IF you know anything about AUTOMOTIVE Electronics, and I do, as I’ve had some 30 years in R/D for that sector. In fact, since...

So annoying. We are all STILL WAITING.. Would expect better service even from Skoda! Maybe I’ve got the wrong VW? Or I’m fed up being treated like a mushroom?

Looking a little closer in the documentation I spotted the matrix LED lighting. That was interesting. So we purchase the best lights then have functionality reduced ready for FOD charge and update to enable something we have purchased. Very Porsche in concept. . . . Saying that it will bite...

I thought road tax and fuel duty was only about getting money to build and repair our roads? Things are looking like they could need a little more. . . .

looked a little deeper: I’m sure the brakinging control is the same as a design I was involved in. The forum has somebody with inside information ? I also understand why the pedal feelis not so good just before you stop. . . . .

We have a top spec mini electric on order from June. Still wait. . . . Should have been delivered last month! Communication has been as bad as Porsche. Must be a German thing.

Thanks, will be looking at this in great detail. . . especially as I think some of this design I was working on 2014 when I retired! For me, this is the best information we have ever had on the forum. Im sure some of the ECU’s are from the company I worked for for nearly 30 years.

It works both ways. I’ve borrowed my brothers mobile Tesla charger when I’ve needed one. Way smaller than the Porsche offering and worked fine.

When I was leaving school (1969) there was one car I wanted. No chance ever of getting, yet still wanted. Nice to see it next to my old white thing! How things have changed? Although - with all the disruption going on - I’m sure for most auto makers, it would be preferable if we still drove...

I’ve turned off notifications regarding updates. Was fed up will messages I wasn’t interested in on a daily basis. The down side, not sure what’s been happening to the car. One thing that does feel different is the steering? Has anything been changed on the 4S with this regard?
