No specific selection to pre-heat the batteries. Warming or cooling the interior before departing uses energy from the batteries and pre-heats them, more if you are not plugged into a charger.
Have been trying for months to get the 12v battery to discharge - multiple Porsche Connect operations, different departure methods, different charging methods, controls in different modes, etc. All to see if a trickle charger through the OBDI port will bring it back to life. No joy! A big...
Our Turbo S with P-Zero summer tires has that issue (Porsche calls it tire scrub) with slow U-turns or turns on wet or even dry pavement, especially with a little sand or gravel. First time it happened we thought we hit a pothole.
Agree; warm, moist, and mold are not a good thing - the reason airplanes stored in the US are sent to the desert.
Flexible parts, rubber or synthetic, bother me the most with older cars, especially in the suspension and steering. Like tires, after 6 or 7 years they do not perform well. Am now...
In Ed’s defense (heaven forbid ?) a vehicle kept in a controlled environment lasts longer. If it stayed in use one year longer, the environment would be far better than scrapping it earlier.
We have purchased four Porsche' and all are glass coated (ceramic in marketing speak). Would never have a new car without it. The oldest is a 2012 Cayman S Black Edition that still turns heads and beads water like the best wax. You will love how easy the car will be to wash, especially the...
On ice, snow, rain, or almost any surface, the shortest stopping distance is with very heavy pressure on the brake pedal to kick on the ABS. Especially important on slick surfaces so you have steering control (no comments from drifters - I am teaching grandchildren).
Both front & rear are below 40 psi at no load (driver only) in the manual.
The door frame tire pressure is at maximum load (four people and luggage).
Partial load increases both (rear faster) to a nice intersection at 40 psi for all four...
The best of both worlds may be the Porsche 918 - 8 cylinders and electric. My wife and I each had two hot laps at Leipzig in a 918 driven by a professional. Not sure what impressed me the most - braking, acceleration, or its ability to straighten the double chicane (that part might have been the...
Yes, it is Olea Basalt Black & Atacama Beige and we love it. Just enough beige to be classic red & beige, but black enough (especially the seat backs) to also be classic but easier to keep clean.
Took a long time to train my wife to love maps North up. She uses the passenger display to program and follow our routes and complains because it keeps switching to heading up (the turning picture makes her ill). The center display remains North up.
Agree wholeheartedly! Everyone one in our family, from wife to grandchildren, completely understand the "manager's reset" - turn off (or preferably unplug) for two minutes and restart. Works amazingly well on anything with a computer brain or relay. For some devices, I go the the electrical...
Our dealer goes out of their way to give us a loaner and it is usually determined by what is available. So far, every model except a 911. A Taycan 4S recently, but loved the Panamera GTS more!
