Just for clarity:

I haven't used the Valentine bluetooth app yet but I had with the older V1 Gen 1's I have. Believe it or not, I usually don't carry my cell phone if I'm just driving around town. Its rather ironic since I work in a very high tech field. I'm just not a slave to my cell phone... ;-) I also...

As I wasn't getting 100% reliability with my windshield mounted toll transponder (IPass, EZPass), I ended up mounting my "License Plate Transponder" to the front of the car for my last 1400 mile trip. (Using the Transponder mounts above). Even though the windshield mounted transponder was...

I had some issues with my Radar Detector picking up radar from the front of the vehicle through the insulated glass even when I could see the radar gun pointed straight at me. Apparently the thermal glass won't allow any radar signals to pass through. I had my Valentine 1 mounted to the right...

Got the fan replaced, ran a couple of prints with some minor tweaks. I think we have a winner! I'm going to create another thread in the "Mods and Enhancements forum" to post the final result and info...

A big misconception is that the car is constantly charging whenever it is plugged in. This is patently false (you can watch the display on your charger). Just because you are "plugged in" doesn't mean the batteries are "charging"! Power is merely AVAILABLE when the car is plugged in. The car...

One of the major points of EV ownership is convenience. (Tesla understands this). Plug you car in when you get home every night and just leave the default profile at 85% (as Porsche recommends). Simply temporarily boost the charge to 100% ("Direct Charging") if you have a long day expected...

Employee (dealership) empowerment has nothing to do with the "generosity" of a dealership (paying out of their own pocket). Employee (Dealership) Empowerment simply provides the dealership the ability to make decisions without having to "call home" to get every single maintenance activity...

I've also had range mode say it was limiting to 70 mph but when I refused (the PIRM suggestion) it ultimately offered up 90 mph as the max speed. I was on a 70 mph interstate. I think the Range Mode Max Speed Limiter is dependent on what type of road you are currently on, whether navigation...

Yup, just noted (edited) that above. I'll give it a look. Thanks!

Seriously? My windshield is spotless... I just washed the car a couple of days ago (and not driven much since). What about the sensors UNDER the bumper? Now THOSE might have some crap on them...

What planet do you live on? Dealerships are typically held accountable for the decisions they make. If they frivolously issued parts/repairs without good reason (and the associated documentation), it would come out of their pocket. They usually don't have to ask for permission, but they...

I've received several "WBA Limited" messages on the instrument display over the last week. (Warning and Brake Assist) The messages appear for a minute or so and then go away. Anyone know what might be causing this and if its a "routine issue" like so much other stuff we seem to be...

No, I don't think so... Lots of data by very knowledgeable folks here over several threads... - The 12V battery isn't directly connected to the external "charger" circuit at all. Its charged from an onboard circuit that gets power from the car's main (propulsion) batteries. - A charger...

I agree, this is clearly a software issue. So many 12V batteries just don't die over and over. (Especially while they have access to an operating charger). This isn't the fault of the battery technology and I seriously doubt its a battery manufacturing issue. Porsche is just busy "throwing...

Not my company. Not true... Empowering your employees to make functional decisions does not leave them unaccountable for inventory management. Employee empowerment is a core concept in the architecture of a successful company.

So the dealership knows its a faulty battery and they STILL need corporate approval to replace it? WTF? Sounds like Porsche needs to more fully empower their folks on the front lines...

Have we ever determined that this ONLY happens when the car is on the charger? IOW: Has anyone ever had the 12V battery failure happen when the car is NOT on the charger? (I understand the statistics might be skewed as I expect most everyone has the car on the charger whenever it is parked at...

Lets disagree on this... (No offense) Software is NOT hard if you are a decent software designer. It might be "hard" for a MECHANICAL engineer to do it properly, but there are LOTS of really good SOFTWARE Engineers available. Lots of folks are writing some very complicated Android and IOS...
