Here’s an odd but interesting finding: This is a live analysis/teardown of a rear BYD drive unit used in the new Tan and Hang sedan and SUV. The drive unit is manufactured by BorgWarner and integrates the motor and drive. It’s surprising that the motor/drive unit is not produced in house. There...

It’s possible the CPO warranty can be extended by another year, but not sure, I have not verified this is possible after the CPO initial purchase. Sometimes more warranty helps sell the car. The buyer would have to pay to extend after purchase. Another possibility is re-certifying through a...

It may be that D513 is referring to decimal 513. You are likely specifying the equivalent hex value, so D513 is 201 in hexadecimal. Try that.

I’m guessing that the repair required skills the collision repair servicer did not possess, or that they failed to replace, modify, or align mounting locations and possibly pocketed the labor or materials that were required for a proper repair. There are documented mounting specs that are...

I did a quick search. it appears that after a severe impact the hv battery isolator can disconnect the hv battery for safety purposes. The hv battery may need to be removed as that is required to access this part, the isolator might be able to be reset, or a replacement can be...

Ferrari Luce. Ferrari Purosangue. Audi S6 Etron Mercedes AMG GT-EV or GT63 or GT63-S-E Audi S8, RS6, Etron GT, GTRS Mercedes S63-E performance Pretty much anything that seats 4 and mixes grace, pace, and space.

Although it sounds implausible, when the vehicle being turned in is market-valued at less than the residual, there is room for negotiation. The turn-in dealer can be pitched on doing a lease turn in CPO buyout as an end to end deal. I personally did a similar deal where I bought my leased...

I personally have never experienced anything like this even prior to WPK0 and ARB0, both which affect braking and braking feel. This should be done immediately if not done already. I suspect the original poster had this done and/or repaired the vehicle as this was reported a year ago without any...

Hi, I’ll be happy to take them, and pay, or make a $1,000 donation to any chosen charity in your name. I’m about 30 minutes away and can stop by today. Regards, Cary

I like the ‘70 Mach 1 more than the ‘69, same with the Boss 302. The De Tomaso Mangusta was my favorite of that era. 😀 Then again I started out looking for a 991.2 and ended up with a cross turismo, even though I don’t care for the black overfender trim, so you can’t trust my taste in cars...

Well thought out spec, all performance options except the brakes, which avoids some potential high cost maintenance, although the probability of depreciation makes it hard to avoid the reality that a Taycan at this moment will likely just cost a lot to own. I’m kind of conflicted about 20’s...

Hi, Price? Where in Jersey? Not quite understanding the logistics of selling rims or rims/tires prior to replacing them, maybe I’m not understanding the ad. Regards, Cary

Agree about annoying to pay on a very expensive vehicle, it is the antithesis of luxury to be nickel & dimed. Really, Porsche should be aware of this and include at least 5 years of service. The reality is $300 yearly cost is about equal to about 10 days of used Taycan depreciation. Add to that...

I think it was something like $250 at the Porsche dealer. The expired spare tire fluid cost about $250 as well 🤪. Both items were part of the 4 year service that are “recommended” by Porsche and likely worthwhile to ensure my CPO Warranty continues to pay for stuff. I can dig out the...

This is one advantage of leasing. The lease company is losing the resale value, you just need to give it back when the lease ends. Also, if you paid sales tax upfront or put down money upfront (capital cost reduction), that could be at risk if the vehicle gets totalled, so it may be more...

I can provide a sample. I’ve owned my 2021 for about a year now, charging was free for a few months. I’ve put about 10,000 miles on the car. The 20” new michelins have been worn by 2/32”, so probably be changing at 20-25,000 miles or about 2 year intervals. I have 2 more years of warranty as...

2021 CT4 picking up CPO purchase in June 2024. I think the Porsche dealer does something that results in a high range number. It originally showed 296 miles, but I spent time setting up stuff before leaving the dealership. I do get 260-ish miles on a full charge in the warmer weather...

Disagree about PCM disaster. Really no issue with day to day use, I don’t see any response issues, just some poor design choices, burying settings in an unusual manner. (3 dot menus, plug&charge and other setting require specialized knowledge rather than just residing in settings, timer and...

Thanks, ordered. It’s cheap insurance while traveling just in case it’s the only viable option.
