I would have looked around for an EV parked in a normal spot and hung a note on his window saying “before you hang notes on cars you should learn what an Electric Vehicle is, a Porsche Taycan is one!”

Are you still considering the US a British colony??? ?

For those wondering this is the gear noise. It’s loud enough to pick up on a cell phone held by the passenger.

the noise has a changing pitch with the rpm of the pinion gear. the amplitude will go up when frequency is in a dimension of the interior. We used to visualize balls filling the interior. When you hit the ball size that fits evenly you’ve found the wavelength of a standing wave. Then the...

The volume can be different car to car based on the alignment of the pinion and ring gear. 20 years ago all hypoid gears were dykemed and ran in to check contact patches between the pinion and the ring gear. If they were off they were adjusted before shipping. I’m sure there’s a more modern...

I didn’t get that they’re paying you $12k…. I thought it was you paying them. Wow I never heard of that. And is the 2 year warranty an extension on the current warranty? This seems extremely generous, but maybe that’s just me.

To address a couple of the comments above. the reason you hear it louder at certain speeds is because as the hypoid gear noise changes frequency with speeds it goes in and out of standing wave dimensions of the cockpit. In our studies it was almost always the length of the rear window to the...

My RWD has terrible drive train gear noise. I used to be a NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) engineer at GM. I used to specifically work on rear differential hypoid gear noise reduction. I will tell you this RWD car is very bad. I don’t have the fake sound option, and I can clearly tell...

So you have the fake motor noise option? Sounds like a glitch in that….

Your hood is up, and because of the off angle shot your seeing what looks like a gap on one side and an overlap on the other. Watch the video of the assembly line, you’ll see the cars come down the line with the hood unlatched.

I remember a story once…. Two men see a bear running towards them. One man puts on running shows. The other says “you idiot you’ll never out run the bear.” The first says I don’t have to out run the bear…. I know my locks will never be able to stop them from being stolen, but they may deter...

Mine is now working again as well. Porsche must have patched it overnight.

That’s about the exact time mine happened. It was fine when I went into church at 10:45am ET and this when I came out at 12:15pm ET. When Tesla makes mistakes like this I usually see a new software upload the next day with a patch to fix the problem. We’ll see how fast Porsche is….

The PCM will now only show the word “Porsche”. it happened about 12 noon on January 1st. Almost like they pushed a new faulty software update. I’ve reset it twice and it doesn’t go away. When the collision warning activates it switches to the proper screen, but when it goes off it’s back to...

Get the 21s, and the insurance for peace of mind. Just backed into a curb last week. Would have killed me if I hadn’t paid for the wheel insurance…..

Just for clarification. I don’t own a gun, and don’t plan on getting a gun. I found an alternative to the gun. The aggressor can pull out his cell phone and start videoing all they want as well. I just smile for their camera. The point is to immediately put rational thought back into an...

So I’ve had many issues like this in the past. 1) as long as the left lane is open he shouldn’t have an issue. It was probably something else you did that pissed him off. 2) dash cams are like aircraft black boxes. They are great to find out why everyone is dead, but they don’t do anything...

Add one more to the AC mystery. Was at a supercharger and the battery got to 125f. No AC for the next 2 hours of driving. Battery aircooled to 109 when I parked it in the garage. An hour later I checked it again and the AC would turn on battery still at 107. Plugged in the charger , the AC...

EA simply needs to charge X$/min on a 150kW charger and 2X$/min on a 350kW charger. This would solve the problem. And in the cases where a person is still clueless, they can help EA make a really nice profit. Maybe the extra money would help them to build more chargers…
