I was once asked if my 964 speedster in my signature was an EV because of the plate ….. I guess they misunderstood the context of Air in this case …..

Given the decarbonization agenda it will be interesting to see where this goes - I was recently involved in some work for wirelessly charging a 2800kw Battery unit (3500 HP) - the issue is with current technology you are seeing a 30-40% energy transfer efficiency rate compared to 80-90% with a...

Confusing ………. This is a zombie thread - the OP hasn’t even been in the site since 2022 and I am not sure why it was risen……….having said that ….. I can see why keeping one of these useless things with a car for when you want to sell it would make sense, alongside things like the air compressor...

I am a relative newbie to this and I am deliberately over simplifying - and there are also a gazillion posts/arguments on here covering this extensively - but here are effectively the four things to think about, :- Battery Minimum Charge - what you want the lower limit of your car battery to...

Curios why you eliminated the fitcam?

Before I bought - I spent back to back 5 days in a RWD and one day in a 4S (they offered me it for a week - I just needed the one day) - no brainer for me - take the 4S - not a color thing - simply for the buzz …..

Drive the car out from the location where it was charged to 100%, reverse it back in the other way around - plug into the opposite port that you charged from then set the profile to 85% ….. that should discharge it. Make sure you have a toaster or one bar electric fire running in the home just...

In my MY2020 4S......... all references between a 85% down to 20% SoC- 235 miles is a good reference for normal day to day, on long hauls I regularly drive at 80-90 and see closer to 210 avg, I have been able to get up to 280 when I am being conservative on long haul, and in bat outa hell mode...

Don’t disagree (show me a business article that isn’t theses days ?)…. and I would hope most readers can see through that …….. but I am assuming they did not lie about the data on EV buyers.

Behind paywall so here is the story…. Hopes for the mainstream adoption of electric cars have been punctured by figures revealing a fall of more than 11 per cent in the sale of zero-emission vehicles to private buyers. The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders has said that motorists are...

Has anyone been able to find a Taycan car cover they are happy with yet (and has a charge port flap)? - I see the Suncoast cover and I guess i could get it modified - but I was not impressed with the last Porsche cover I bought from there ..... it is for indoors use only and really just a dust...

Plus - at least in BC ........ Electricity is 100% vegan and has a reputation for being some of the nicest electricity in the world... (Spoken as an expatriated Brit and now Californian with a Home in BC )

I have my California plated car here for the summer (yes BC Gov approved my out of province car for the OK decal, surprisingly helpful) …. Placed the OK decal on rear painted body under the trunk lid and adjacent to the trunk release button…. Fits perfectly and on my white car is discrete. I...

I have been using this one, same concept and works well for me , only issue is blocking some airflow. https://a.co/d/bIczgRU

So some time has passed - has anyone found a diag tool that can rest the Taycan service interval yet?

After only two days of ownership I also had these errors on a long trip recently … and posted it here …. the errors went away for me while driving and accepting through all the alarms from the steering wheel controls….. and I have not seen them since. I had a driver in an suv come hammering up...

I feel ya man…. These Porsche fan boys are driving me insane with their incessant views sharing ……. You would think some of these fan boy fanatics have actually had a career working with some of this stuff…… sheeeesh……. Why would the interweb even allow these free thinking fools to be out there...

While I agree with a lot of the sentiment on what could/should be communicated for an OTA update …. There is another side to this. When a vendor (Porsche, apple, Microsoft) is issuing software updates to an appliance (a PC, a watch, Phone, TV, car) … describing what that update does becomes a...

Thanks - did I not read somewhere that when on EVSE the main battery stops charging the 12v after 8 cycles or so - and thy ended up with a drained 12v - hence needing the battery maintainer ? I may have misunderstood that ….

Interesting …. So what is the advised protocol here? I have a non conditioned garage that in the summer can often sit at 110-120 degrees. I do not plan on this but it could easily happen, if I was to leave the car for 3 summer months at 100 to 120f, should you :- A) leave EVSE unplugged and...
